Is "Protective services" the new name for Firefighters & Police? At number 3 is very sad/bad!

the pattern i see is based on jobs that have you sitting on your arse, or behind the wheel, more than you should be. trucker, police, fire, etc

It looks to me like we were just grouped in with architects and engineers. If they pulled out strictly "surveyors" as a subset, I doubt we would have made the list.

I'm not so sure.

The last time I went to the Pennsylvania conference I thought I went in the wrong room and was in a fashion show for XXL flannel shirts. 😀

This reminds me of a comment my wife made, although it has nothing to do with size.

She said it's usually easy to spot me in a crowd but at the Surveyors Historical Society conference she felt lost looking for me among so many gray haired guys with plaid shirts.

Bald or Balding Connect might be more accurate

There is something about all that steam power our brains generate to crank out all of the answers surveyors must create. It must stunt the hair root growth, eventually killing them off entirely.

Was at a funeral visitation last evening when a fellow about 68 years old turned to me and asked if I could identify a specific 67 year-old fellow somewhere in the room. I saw him immediately and started to point in his direction when the first fellow deflected my hand. It seems his 66 year-old wife couldn't identify a boy friend from their high school days. I assured her that the old boy friend most definitely was present, re-inforcing the same thing her husband had been telling her. Although being much younger than those guys, I remembered the old boy friend from when he used to hang around our house while he was dating my sister after he had stopped dating this other gal.

Finally, we relented and told her to look for the one absolutely bare head in the room. She saw him and proceeded to insist that we were both fibbing to her. About that time he came walking over and started chatting with us. I wasn't about to be the one to tell her, but, she doesn't look like she did 50 years ago either.
