    I saw a Craigslist ad offering the sun, moon and stars so I called up. They asked what I was looking for and I answered I needed to go where the money was. Mind you, I'm not greedy. A guy gets used to making a certain income and the job may fizzle out but the bills keep coming. They're telling me I need to go local intermodal. Over $80.000 yr plus a 4500 sign-on bonus. $1000.00 minimum per week. OK, after several hundred dollars of drug tests and two weeks of bogus training I get an $800.00 paycheck. I follow up and find out I'm not getting the bonus. I call another recruiter offering even more and tell him my situation. He sez I need to talk to my recruiter. I told him it was like getting customer service at AT&T and I had to wait for him to stop laughing. He tells me to go to my driver manager.
    And as if I hadn't. This guy knows very well I'm needed at those railroad yards and it's either that or the hard goodbye.

    Only an idiot agrees to any form of drug test except urine.
