Jordan, <br /> <br />Many good folks with good advice here and they all want to see you do well. Not much for me to add except: <br /> <br />-- Don't try to (or feel you have to) impress anyone! When the B.S. sessions start, best strategy is to keep your ears open and mouth shut. <br /> <br />-- It's okay to be a railfan. No reason you should ever feel the need to apologize for liking your job. BUT.... you MUST (and I mean absolutely MUST) be able to seperate work from play. Your co-workers have to be able to count on you keeping your head "cut-in" on what's going on and not be staring at the clean set of SD70MAC's three tracks over. Your safety and theirs depends on it. Forgive me if I appear to be lecturing you like a third grader, but I have seen this be the downfall of others. <br /> <br />-- Job insurance is a good thing. None of us intend to screw up, yet it happens. Rare is the railroader who goes an entire career without ever being held out of service. <br /> <br />-- Enjoy every day out there and always remember how lucky you are: many people in this world have to spend every day of their working lives in a job they hate...and you're not one of them! <br /> <br />Best of luck, <br />HJK (5 years with Amtrak)
