I have to say my wife often gets angry with the RR because I'm kept away from her at times she needs me to be there. I thought for sure I'd make it to her first sonogram to see our first child, but NO! I was on the piggy back pool and a storm came through and knocked power out in Chicago and affected the signal system on the Belt Railway. Long story short, we arrived too late to make our Piggy Back home so the Freight Pool guys got our train and we got theirs. I had a 14 hour trip home (plus taxi from dead train) and I wasn't able to make my wife's appointment. That had never happened to me before. I've gone dead lots of times, and it would not have affected me because my 12 hours would have been up in plenty of time for me to still get home in time. Unfortunately someone in CSX dropped the ball and the order for our taxi from our dead train to our terminal was DELETED!!! So we had to wait an additional two hours!!! SO, whoever dropped the ball owes me!! All they'll get is a good fist shaking from me. It just seemed like everything was going to get in the way to stop me. Luckily my wife is understanding and she told me about the appointment, but when it comes time to have that baby, you better believe CSX won't be able to find me!!! I'll call benefits and get some family medical leave because I know I wouldn't see my wife long after if I was on a train while she had that baby by herself!! Anywho, being new I thought I had figured out working the piggy back pool would be a safe bet to get home in time without having to mark off two days for the appointment, I was wrong. Granted a very unusual event ocurred. So the lesson learned by me is if you really, really need to be somewhere for your family, be there!!!! Don't take any chances. Like some others had said there is always somone around to fill your spot.
