If you're an engineer and driving the head car of a subway train for the first time, a babe in the woods in uncharted waters, and find yourself asleep at the switch, sooner or later your sins will find you out. You may crash. It will be the last straw: you will lose your job and may kill people and destroy property. Even if the control panel has all the bells and whistles, the job of a driver is alertness. Moreover, every trip is a first time, a baptism of fire. You have to stick to your guns and not fall asleep at the wheel, dreaming of owning the whole metro system, not look at the world through rose-colored glasses, because a subway car driver's job is not a bed of roses. You have to be sharp as a tack in a dog eat dog world.
After the inevitable crash, they will clean your clock. At the drop of a dime, the tables will be turned. Instead of respect, you will be indicted, prosecuted. Your employers will not bury the hatchet. No use complaining about your personal circumstances, that you had too many irons in the fire; "words fail me" and other old hat excuses won't be worth a dime. Looking for forgiveness from your employers? It's like finding a needle in a haystack. Once the drunk has fallen off the wagon, he realizes the cake's not with the candle, but then it's the eleventh hour--too late. They'll sharpen your pencil, because when the lawyers and the cops get through with you, box and dice, the jig will be up, the crap will have hit the fan, your goose will be cooked, and you'll find it's CURTAINS.
