Not really any first day advice to give, but I can testify to the "don't let 'em know you're a foamer" part. <br />I could have been working for U.P. for the last two years as a Asst. Signalperson if it wasn't for my big mouth. If I only knew then what I do now..... <br />Two years ago I applied, tested, & interviewed for the position out of Hutchinson,KS. Evrything went great until during the interview the asked what my hobbies & what I liked to do in my off time were. Well friends, let me tell you that it was at that exact moment (unbeknownst to me of course) I blew it!!! I started spouting off about how I like to watch trains, photograph trains, model trains BLAH,BLAH,BLAH!!! <br />Nedless to say, I DIDN'T make the cut. Of course it wasn't till sometime later that I learn that railroads don't really care for FOAMERS. <br />Oh well, if the oppertunity ever arises again I'll know to keep a TIGHT lid on my railfan habbits. <br />Now, with that said, I'd like to wish you the best of luck with your new job Eric. Have fun & be safe. <br /> Matt
