#jumping between moving train carriages with nothing to break your fall in a rainy storm is… an experience
Text
Y’all…the day I just had at work
So, at our halfway point on our train journey, our train breaks down in the middle of the fucking rainforest, meaning we’re hours away from civilisation, with no phone reception or wifi
Now, naturally, being the overachiever I am, I was the guard today, meaning I am fully responsible for every passenger on board and am in charge of my two coworkers on with me today
Shit
So, it’s fucking storming outside and raining down, and our back carriage is empty and I need to get into it to go to the balcony to radio ahead to our driver three carriages behind me that the coast is all clear every 30 seconds for 15 minutes (we had to slide down the mountain backwards to get back to a safe platform)
Now, since the back carriage is only half attached, in the middle of a storm, I have to do some Indiana Jones stunt double shit leaping across moving carriages with nothing to walk on except the coupling chains, and not to mention the carriage I need to get into is locked
Nonetheless, we get back to town finally 12 hours later, and it’s dark and I’m hungry and tired
I did get a $100 tip though from a passenger for making sure they didn’t, you know, die
So feeling a little like this now, getting home at 6pm when I started work today at 6am
