I about forgot to tell you that the very next day after you posted this I heard my wife say, "Hey, come and look at this on Facebook. It's a T-shirt for surveyors' wives."
My wife wants one.
Her comment, "obviously a world wide problem".
Many years ago when Leica was Wild, we bought some Wild gear and they gave out free T shirts.
Nice white ones with a logo in large letters.
"I'm a Wild man"
She inserted Wo in front of man and proudly wore it for years.
Guess it caused a few raised eyebrows.
My husband needs one of those! They need to make it "Surveyor's Spouse"
That would cover male or female surveyors' spouse.

My wife ordered one for herself, she got the confirmation that it shipped and will be here Tuesday. Ill post pics if I can get her to model.
I just checked it and the site said they are taking reservations for another printing, just need 7 more! Looked like a great present for the upcoming anniversary, and since nothing is to good for my, eh, better half, I reserved one.
just need 7more!
I reserved one yesterday and before I did it said 7 more. Doesn't sound like their counting system means much.
Hopefully they're not taking people for a ride! Me included.
Is that site legitimate?
Interesting; as I am moving home after 3 years of working 160 miles from my house. I'm going to flipping burgers on nite shift or being a janitor or anyplace that will hire a 59 yr old almost deaf guy with heart disease and diabetic with a very specialized skill set. The good pay is not worth the stress of being away from home. This may be my last post here, it's been fun
re: "No, I don't know when he'll be home".
My dad was a surveyor. Back in the day when he would go out, my mom would ask him when he would be home, instead of saying "I don't have a clue" he would say something like "6:13" or some precise time.
Fast forward many years later I had to check out of our office to go to a meeting. The office I worked at, at the time, had a big sign-out board with our names, a place for where we were going and a place to put our estimated time back. And of course, having inherited dear old dad's sense of humor, I put down something like "3:16" for my return time. I didn't even think about it after that, and when I walked back in to the office, Jim saw me and said "Hey Francis Tom's back". I looked at him with a face that said what's that all about. Well it seems as though Francis (who was not a big fan of Tom the surveyor) made a big deal of me putting down an exact time. (like " What an idiot, how can he know exactly what time he will get back in to the office" type of things). Apparently I walked in right at that 3:16 time I had randomly written down. Funny how a non-plan comes together sometimes.
