Take a job with the railroad?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: May 27th, 2015 5:01 PM Author: Coral depressive XOXO Food truck guy. Looks like the railroad is about to give me a seriously sweet offer (starting out at around 30/hr, amazing benefits) for diesel mechanic work. I have no fucking idea if I should leave the food truck and take the offer. Does the truck have long term potential? Does the job have long term potential? Lots of RR guys are getting furloughed right now. |

Date: May 27th, 2015 5:04 PM Author: sinister pontificating den pistol Bro I've been thinking about you.
My parents were giving me shit about becoming a corrections officer and I told them that they haven't gotten to know me very well over the last 28 years if they think I give a FUCK what they think, especially considering I paid for my education.
Take the RR job. Benefits are key in this new shit world we live. Do creative shit on the side. |

Date: May 27th, 2015 5:05 PM Author: Coral depressive Hey man. I can't endorse your work as a guard keeping humans locked in a cage. I will never work for the government. You have a point about benefits. |
|
Date: May 27th, 2015 5:43 PM Author: Coral depressive Also I'm sorry to hear your parents didn't care about you enough to get to know you. Starting life with shit parents is just about the greatest setback you can experience short of missing a limb. Though even crippled children have been known to accomplish amazing things with the right parents.

Date: May 27th, 2015 5:04 PM Author: Self-centered potus center you will never make a lot of money from the food truck. successful trucks in big metro areas make around $70K net. if they'll pay you $30 / hr. plus benefits, that's more than what you would make if your truck was really successful. you would get in with the union and get seniority raises too. take the job.

The deep, steady thrum of her engine greatworks reverberated through Wolfstone Hall, casting regular vibrations into the surrounding structure. Fingers gently pressed against the bench, he felt the minute disturbance of air mediated through the metal, smiled at the strength of her heart.

His coveralls were streaked with oil, marked with the telltale singes of radiated plasmaweld heat. Sweat slicked down his flushed face as he drew in heavy breaths. A man interrupted from the midst of work.
'Captain.' |

Date: June 3rd, 2015 10:05 AM Author: smoky bawdyhouse stain "Phineas. At ease my friend." He rose from the bench, grasped the Chief's hand firmly, motioned toward the platform doors. As they walked, they carried on their exchange, hushed furtive tones against the din of station traffic. 'Captain, these departure orders -- 12 hours -- it's just not possible!' "Then you'll have to do the impossible." 'But sir -- she needs more work; a shakedown!' "Mr. Gage, in the past three days, Minneapolis, Madison, and Springfield have all fallen. We are the only vessel in intercept range. Ready or not, we launch in twelve hours."
'Aye sir.' |

The polished surface of her hull shimmered in the high sun of the day, making chameleon color of her paint, shifting shades of blue and grey. Against this canvas, nine letters in bold black standard script: INDOMITUS; directly beneath, in red, her registry: RCC-1776. He was home.

how much is a permit? |
|
Date: May 29th, 2015 4:43 PM Author: Coral depressive Health permit- 100 bucks or so business permit from county- 50 state llc- 100 or so
It's really not much, i guess. You can even fill your own propane tanks super cheap. Truck has a generator but you'll prefer a real hookup. |
