Well I am now over the hill. I turned 40 a few days ago, and some days it feels like it. My wife and I did not do much of anything for this big day, which was fine, I got to spend my time with her, and my kids, and also had a good lunch with my best friend. That is all that matters, family and friends.
I know that we could have done a lot more, but with the passing of my wife's mother, it makes things hard on her, and everyone around here. Also with her having Mono, and phenomena you just can't plan anything during these hard times.
Secondly, with my birthday being so close to Christmas it is hard for me to get any time off at work, since most of the vacation time is selected by seniority, and I don't have enough to be able to bid on it. And usually the kids are still in school that week, so we can not plan on going out of town.
Things are slowing down at work. I don't envy anyone who has hired out for the railroad in the past 3 to 5 years, because it looks like you are going to be cut off, or will be chasing work with your seniority. All I can say is that it is part of the job, and hang in there, we were all "new hires" at one time, and we had to go through it also.
