- Thank you so much for the brilliant work today, when the signaling system was down. At least on your station everything went so smoothly that I couldn't believe my eyes. There were announcements on every second: "Express-Train 23 is leaving from track three, at 5.10PM" and immediately after that: "Passenger-Train is leaving from track three, at 5.10PM". There were announcements all the time, excellent!
- There seems to be trains going all the time. As a matter of fact, there is trains going on every second of the day? Even the foreign inter-rail passengers were amazed and saying that in their home country there isn't trains going this often. Well, nobody really didn't see those trains, but at least the announcer claimed so and that is what matters. Not the fact that stupid citizens don't understand to take their eye to their hand and look the coming train. It makes me wonder that why in Gods name newspapers are writing about people run over by train? How the hell are you going to dodge invisible trains, ghost trains? At least those type of trains were constantly going on at your station, that's what I call a paranormal incident indeed.
- And I almost forgot. I want to thank so much the announcer who kept his coffee break at the right moment. Yes I know, those computer controlled boards that tell you the departure time can handle the job, you don't need a human to watch a computer. I agree, those days are gone when someone was needed to watch that computer can handle it's job. At least on this particular day computers did handle the job. At one point there seemed to be three trains at the same platform, at the same time. I was just too afraid to go into one of these trains, because I wasn't quite sure where the door was?
- Well, in any case who even would have liked to go home? There's nothing to do in home. Besides, many people have died in home, so it's better to stay out of there. And do you really need to take your dog out everyday? And who needs to go to the supermarket to buy some food for the next work day? At least I don't need to do any of these things at all. I will live my life as your wise railroad company sees fit. I will not take my dog out and I will not eat anything if you think so. And it suits me fine. Anyways, eating itself is a waste of time, isn't it? It will come out in any case.
- Thank you so much again! I think I will tomorrow come to your station again and bring roses to each and everyone of you and perhaps I will even give you a kiss, you never know. Keep up the good work! That's what they are paying you to do.
