Well, Untill today, I was a Trailer mechanic at the BN/SF railyard. Our company lost their contract with the railroad
(Common in this field. In general, each year a company gives their employees a slight raise, which in turn drives up the cost they must charge the railroad. Eventually, the railroad says "$#!% quality, let's find someone cheaper" and re-bids the yard.)
So, temporrily, I am a professional couch potato... If anyone knows of any job leads, I would appreciate it.
