[:(] I went to a job test / interview with about 60 to 70 other people. They are only hiring about 6 people. I had the email and phone message when I got home Monday night / Tuesday morning. Not much time to prepare for a trip and I never even went to bed before I left about 530 am Tuesday morning. I arrived at the farm about noon and then had to go get a haircut. It was not at all what I had hoped for. One guy was there who actually worked for the railroad and he was taking certain people aside and telling them what questions the interviewers would ask and how to answer them. So it basically was a waste of time, effort, money, and a great inconvience to myself and my family. I put about 1,000 miles on my truck for nothing I believe. So needless to say I am not a happy camper about it all. If I get the job it will definately be by the hand of God since man has seemed to "tamper" with the process. Once again the saying, "It's not what you know but who you know", comes into play. I don't mean God there, I mean man stacking the deck of cards for buddies. <br /> <br />I have not had the time yet to get past this post so I will continue catching up before I post again. <br />
