you getting out of the landscape business ?

[barend]

considering it. Applying does not mean getting the job though, so we'll see! Benefits and retirement package are tempting.

[Uturn]

I worked for them 5 years in Greenville, SC and decided to move on...Damn decisions when you're young. I look back and say oh well !! Back then it was only "Southern". I am still a member with the credit union, branch here in Virginia Beach.

 

Everyone I know that work here (clerks, trainmen, switchmen etc) are satisfied with company.

Gandy dancer is a slang term used for early railroad workers, especially those in the Southern United States, who maintained railroad tracks in the years before the work was done by machines. No one knows the origin of the term for certain, but it is generally thought that it was a combination of gandy, from the Chicago-based Gandy Manufacturing Company, maker of railroad tools, and the "dancing" movements of the workers using a 5 foot rod ("gandy") as a lever to keep the tracks in alignment

 

 

The Gany Dancers Ball

 

 

The Gandy Dancer is a railroad man

And his work is never done

With his pick and his shovel and his willing hands

He makes the railroad run

There's Macanaw Mack and Toledo Jack

And the boys from Idaho

And the Frisco kid and Saginaw Sid

And good old Cotton-eyed Joe

 

Oh they danced on the ceiling

And they danced on the wall

At the Gandy Dancer's ball

Hey! Swing around, Swing around,

Swing around the Jimmy John

Swing around, Swing around

The Jimmy, Jimmy John

Swing around, Swing around

Swing around the Jimmy John

Swing the pretty girl round

The Jimmy, Jimmy John

they have both a conductor and dispatcher opening locally, meaning I would not have to move (? immediately:scratchchin:). We'll see, I put in my resume.

[massey130]

good luck and prayer sent.

I should send my resume in, got the experience. I'd move back to G'ville or commute from my Mom's in Anderson. Danged good idea you got there. Take advantage of the previous monies I paid into RR Retirement vice SS.
