Union Pacific not a scrooge

John, if Jerry is anything like the person his posts here suggest, he'll be well accustomed to being spat on.

Obviously, you think one should not support their employer. How you stay employed is beyond me. I think it was you that I stated should have been fired a long time ago. I will restate that opinion

Jerry

Supporting one's employer does not mean "ass licking" as you put it.

The only people who spat on me were the hippies on dope. I figured it was the fact their brain was fried. Of course, back then I was very pro military. Now, while I am pro USA, I hate to see us involved in any conflict. War is hell. People die. Peace or none involvement is a better recourse. I have no problem with going after OBL for he attacked us. 60 Minutes was interesting last night. Seems, 10 days after Bush takes office, he is asking his National Security Advisors to find a way to go to war with Iraq. This from a member of his cabinet. Now, this was almost 9 months before 9-11. It just about says it all. To keep this train related, Dubya doesn't support Amtrak from what I can see. Anyone think Amtrak will be cut to ribbons before he leaves office. Jerry

Obviously you are unable to comprehend simple English sentences.

'Arse-licking' is how I put it. And I was not referring to supporting one's employer. I was referring to your specific area of expertise.

So they're better judges of character than I reckoned.

As in COld BOLlocks?

58F here yesterday.

There is your problem. *8->

And you call call me a troll. You are following me around like a dog in heat. Can't you contain your sniffing to the fish you have at home Jerry

You would associate with such I imagine. I wouldn't be surprised at the business you are self employed at either. Jerry

What sort of property? I lifted a few railroad ties as a lad, but hey, I was 8 and figured they were throw-aways. Good thing Metra didn't catch me stuffing that F40PH in my trunk!

Seriously, Jerry, what stuff? A coupler knuckle weighs, what, 200 lbs.? It'd take a couple of guys to carry one of those off. I'm aware of people stealing stuff out of RR museums.

Nope. Common Obsolete Business Oriented Language.

36 here yesterday. The East Coast had it worse. The cheddarheads and we transplanted FIBs (F***ing Illinois Bastards, oops...Friendly Illinois Brethren) can take it...and worse.

I used to snowmobile when it was 20 below. Gawd, was I stupid at 16. Now it'd have to be at least zero.

What? Knowing a language the young punks coming out of college don't know anymore? But will probably still be around when I die? I call it employment security. It is rather verbose, but readable even to neophytes.

Snowmobiling at any age is stupid. :-)

"anymore"????? Lots of current CompSci grads can barely remember it was mentioned in their studies.

So will reel-to-reel 9 track tape.

"verbose" ... YEAH!!!!!

I wrote my last Cobol code in 1974 (and it hasn't been long enough). I did an RPG to Cobol translator written in Fortran and Compass (CDC

6000 assembler).

Looks fine when I format it at home. Load it on the server and it goes kablooey. Go figure. I'm still trying to figure it out.

I had a guy in Florida contact me last week about a client that wants to translate SAS to COBOL. I can't for the life of me figure out why. SAS costs $10,000 a year per network server, maybe more, but you can develop about 20 times faster than COBOL.

I thought you guys in the GWN drove those instead of cars.
