    Interview at CN

    So I had an interview at CN railroad this past Wednesday. I think it went really well. I will get phone call if I get the job and an e-mail if I am outright not hired or placed in an candidate pool. Of course I am hoping for a phone call. We shall see. This will double what I am getting paid right now. It is a union job. But I am not to worried about that. I already work a crazy schedule. OH and the Position applied for is Carman. I will be working on the railcars themselves. So again we shall see what happens. I will follow up on here when I know something.

    Well folks I did get the job after all! I will have been there a month on the 27th. Which is when I get my first check. This job has more than doubled what I was making. So hopefully I can get my financial situation straightened out now. I will continue scrapping, it is still fun to do and extra money is always a good thing. Turns out there are some folks who also scrap. I asked one of the guys if he ever sees computers, He said he does and normally leaves them there. So i told him I would pay him for the ones he finds if he brings them to me. He acted surprised aswell as interested that there is money in recycling computers. We shall see what happens. Anyways I am very grateful and lucky to have landed this job.
