Posted by Eric B on Mon Jul 9 20:26:28 2007, in response to Re: Layups and Putins at Flatbush, posted by Railman718 on Mon Jul 9 19:01:06 2007. You're right. I did already put in to come back. Not because of the handles, of course, though the 160 handles will be a relief.I just wanted to try it out, to see something different. It was so interesting, meeting the class in an all new place everyday just like in the beginning, and now getting to see all these other lines I had never worked. I've even been having dreams about working the A. Div. for a couple of years. I pick in the south anyway, because I don't like the weekend jobs over here in the north (4×J; 3×C, any A, OPTO M, etc), so the traveling is not all that different between the A Div. jobs I have, and B South, but obviously, the B is more where I belong. The ideal jobs would be the M out of Met on weekdays, and 2×C's out of Euclid on weekends. Bt there are not to many of those. Perhaps if they do the lower Manhattan project soon, and have the E to Euclid (which would never be more than two trips). If I could get that all five days, that would be fine. I was thinking about staying here the winter pick and going back next summer as well, but I'm not sure what the pickings would be like in the winter. There might be less RDO reliefs, since less people pick VR in the winter, and I don't want to take the chance with VR, since I know nothing about what that is like over there, and especially after getting socked with late PM's almost this whole last winter pick. Considering the A Div. being smaller; I can't afford to take that chance with such faraway places like 241, 242 and Dyre. 207 at 1:30AM clearing was bad enough. So what's left of this pick is just enough to get a feel of what it is like. Then I can say I did the whole system. (though on the east side and the 7, it will only have been posting. I wish I could get jobs on those lines this Wed. and Thurs. when I most likely go extra list on my RDO's from still having Sat. and Sun off this week. Also, they never did qualify me on the Grand Central Shuttle. I guess that's only if you pick on it). I would probably like to come back down the line, especially when I have a better chance of picking better jobs, especially on the east side. the change will kep me from getting tire of one division. I wonder how long you go in one division before you have to be requalified int he other division. I think some in the class had been away for 3 years, and they had to be requalified. I don't want to have to go through all that again, so maybe I might have to go back and forth more frequently that that. I also wonder if they allow people who are qualified in both to work overtime in the other division from the one they are in that particular time. That would also be a way to see something different for a change every now and then, andkeep myself refreshed in that division. |
