Do you get bored?

20 yrs, 11 months I've been hauling containers, do I get bored, yes, am I a master, hell no, the railroad/depot/steamship lines figure out new ways every few months on how to screw things up, so we have to start all over again.

Here's a prime example, the UPRR, in its infinite (LMAO) wisdom, uses the Denver hub as a chassis repair point. Just when the mechanics in Denver get all the UP owned chassis to 90% repair/reliable, they start shipping them out, and shipping in new junk, the whole process of getting all the chassis into good order takes about 18 months, the process of swapping them out, takes about 3 weeks. Of course, the new junk, we have no idea its new junk until we start finding new, common failures, on a daily basis, at a rate higher than it was before.

 

Even porn stars get bored. If you have a low stress, good paying job with a predictable schedule you are miles ahead than most of us my friend.

 

That is why Enuches work in the secure area with them so they can get over that boredom relatively quickly.

 

I wonder how those cities got those interesting names?

 

Ha.. I can DEFINITELY take a wild guess. In all seriousness most people back home thought my Hard Rock cafe shirt was a parody/joke. Felt like the city was "F it", but it's actually pronounced Poo-ket.

 

10k hours isnt even that much. It equals 3.42 years at 8 hour work days. 50 years of working, 3.42 aint ####. I think.

On that note, brain surgeons must take the elevated fast track to getting proficient, or theres a lot of dead people we dont know about.

 

I been doing this since 1979.......and still at it. And still have another 15-20 years left..... Bored you asked ?......... I think I answered your question......(it’s in my blood)hardcore......(done right.....you get the addiction)

 

As @Chinatown and @sherlock510 has recommended you should travel overseas. If you hop on a public transportation service in a country that you don’t speak the language you will have an adventure that you will remember for the rest of your life.

 

Not saying that I agree with you, but I do like your book. It show mental strength. And books are for targeted audiences.
