[QUOTE="rickyb, post: 2115723, member: 56035"] well what happened with me was i worked at 1 really good railway, but i have nerve damage in my hands which is worsened by considerable on the job vibration so i left although i could still go back and take meds. with this one sometimes i wonder if i made the right decision to give up my seniority to leave, but theres a good chance i wouldnt have figured out what i wanted to do had i not left, and im guessing my hands would have been in some pain by now. i got fired from one of the big railways cuz i had a bad additude because i didnt like the road trips; you just sit down on call in the middle of hte night and call out signals. like if we were working half the month and get to book the other half off id do it no doubt, but i didnt see the point in working all the time basically just to pay down the mortgage on an over inflated housing market. i did another railway in alberta, it wasnt unionized though so i made $5 less per hour than i made everywhere else and it was a yard so it was hard work, i lost 20 pounds in 6 months and im already skinny. i can still go back to that one if i wanted, but it didnt make economic sense to live on my own there and save the same i would if i moved back home and figured out what i really wanted to do. and finally i did a railway in the middle of nowhere which was camp, but the company moved me 5x before i quit, not to mention they didnt book accomodation at 1 place. and it was all road trips in the middle of the night and i couldnt stay awake.
