I got the final word today. I start on Monday!!!

YYYYEEEESSSS!!!!

I was supposed to have training on Thursday and Friday, with train travel and hotel paid for, in Groton Conn. However I got an update phone call saying they will be having another training class on Mon. & Tues of next week at 30th. St. Station in Philly. ;=3

So after all this waiting, it is official, I'm now employed by Amtrak. :=3

I have to go in on Wed. to fill out some final paperwork, but that is a technicality. I am officially HIRED!!! :=3

From when I first heard about the job to getting it ~3 months. Not bad considering it is a quasi-federal agency. :=3

New York City will never be the same. :=3

Hey, are you coming to FC? And if not, can I borrow your puppet? *evil wringing of hands* Not that I want to do the stone table scene where the witch can't kill him. Oh, no...

Hmmm... okie... I can move the from "cautiously optimistic" to "mostly optimistic."

Congrats! I am very pleased... sorry I missed your call, the cell phone batteries died just on the third ring! )=P

now find your way out here to FC and I'll show you all my shoes...along with the Santa Clara train station! I have a feeling that riding Caltrain with you would be an adventure...(grin)...

Umm, I don't know what you mean Cam, but here goes:

Silver, rest assured that Camstone and I are very close friends.

He and I have had our "differences" in the past, but we remain the closest of friends.

He works for the U.S. government and he knows the "peculiarities" that the government can have in hiring.

Silver, see my reply to Cam under this thread.

Tis nice to meet you Camstone. I tend to be rather old fashion when it comes to being introduced to others so I hope you do not take offense.

Tony,

I'll be on the NEC, but not as an engineer. I'll be a commuter.

I'm doing 2-way radio work out of Penn Station NYC. :=3

Let us know if you are Pittsburgh bound. If the train doesn't get in at 1 AM maybe we can hook up.

Next time I'll be Pittsburgh bound will be for AC, and then I'll probably drive.

More flexibility than taking the train. :=/

Just like a train Don, just like a train...might take awhile to get up to speed but once it's rolling not much is gonna stop it. I know it's been a long upswing over the last year or so, but you deserve every minute of pleasure from it. Enjoy it man and Congratulations!
