Your Other Life-

lnen#1, what do the initials CSX stand for? My Mom's side of the family were all railroaders in western Canada - engineers, conductors, section hands.

RE: Your Other Life-
 

C is for the old Conrail we obtained in a merger, the S is Seaboard, not exactly sure what the X represents I think it stands for X-Convicts, the managers and upper level guys I have to work for.

I work Monday-Thursday and work 10 hours a day (so fridays are off) Usually isn'tstraight 40 hours but thats life. I work with and for my best freind (my dad) and we goof off when we can and work hard when we have to. Works out nice.

I took a morning off this past hunting seasonon a spurt of the moment thing.Basicaly I just went hunting instead of work. Killed my buck that morning. Dad left work to come helpme drag him out. It was much better with him and my grandfather there.

I used to work in satellite communications. I worked on the Iridium porject. I worked for Motorola and Boeing on the project. I controlled the spacecraft for them. But it was away from home and I wanted to get the family back here to Ohio. Glad I did even though the pay isn't the same... Other stuff far outways that.

Hey Canuck 2, cool. My dad was a dedicated rock hound all my life. We have lots of relatives in Canada. Every trip anywhere, but especially Canada was always interrupted at every rock outcropping, mine or hole in the ground to check for ROCKS. LOL
