all the live long day? driving them spikes? deforesting patagonia for sleeper logs? forging km long rails? conductor? do they still call them conductors? cargo yard?
Shit man I dunno, I'd consider working in a yard or on the rail line if it means I get to stay in the Phoenix area. Conductor would be cool but I don't think Phoenix is a large junction, it's just sort of a stop between LA, San Diego and El Paso
I hate calling my extended family and having to explain to them for the nth fucking time what a fiscal year is and how long I'm going to be gone and that I won't be in korea four years and what being a reservist means
I imagine that wouldn't be very fun, but I'd be kinda sad too if a family member went into the military and I wouldn't see them often. My brother works in Houston and I haven't seen him in like 3 years, I miss him even if he is a huge douche.
I know it's just that every time it's the same conversation every single time I call. I know it makes her day when I call since it's once a week but it's just hard when it's the same thing every call.
I can understand it, as frustrating as it is. Family is like that, and grandmas especially, holy shit they're overprotective. I still get irritated when I call mine and she goes on and on about basically nothing, but the things we do for love.
I know man, mine worries herself to fucking death. And she's almost 80 so I know she doesn't remember but she should know what being a reservist and a deployment is, my fucking dad did it forever.
That's getting up there in age. Mine just turned 75, and she's not exactly the brightest or most memorable anymore. I still feel kinda bad leaving her to live by herself but eh, it had to be done. As long as you love her and she knows it, none of that really matters.
