Conductor on the old P&LE RR for 6 years. Then Resort management for 14 years. Then owned a Mobile Home Dealership in Dubois for 7 years. Car Business for three years and one year Conductor for the Norfolk Southern RR. My last job was Vice Pres for a national warranty company. Became sick about one year ago and now it's Disability. Kind of a strange work history. But I did my own thing and I enjoyed all of my jobs. I never stayed in a business very long if I didn't like it. I moved on.

you didn't like workin for the Nazi Southern?... lol... i don't blame ya... the pay is great, and the job isn't bad at all, but the feeling that they own you with the phone ringing constantly and having to answer it or face the repercussions flat out sucks... in the summertime i start to forget what my family looks like, pretty bad when your kids start to give you the hairy eyeball cuz you are only averaging 30 hours per week at home and almost all of it is spent sleeping.
