That's all.

We're tools in the toolbox.
I have seen very competent surveyors sent off to the hospital on leave from the stress.
Of course the projects which caused the stress landed somewhere else. My desk, for example.
That said, I think that this board has provided a release valve in many cases, as it provides a fairly safe place to discuss the points and issues in a well mediated environment.
"I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy."
Amen to that.
Those are marvelous
I love information put forth in that manner.

The mental stress of surveying is significant. That statement was made by PT Sloan, or Mena Ar. and is from a recent telephone conversation.

I was complaining about work related stress to my father (a nuclear engineer who worked at the Air Force Weapons Lab & the Defense Nuclear Agency) a few years before he passed away.
His response: "Until you've been on a dolly, on your back, making last minute instrumentation adjustments, a mile below the Nevada desert, and the device is five feet from you and armed; don't talk to me about stress" 😉
At least nobody is out to kill me. Ummm, wait, let me think about that some more.
:good:
Sometimes things get a lot less stressful when you take them in appropriate perspective.
