Engineer: Jim, do you have elevations for those borings you staked on Project X back in October?
Surveyor: Forwards email from Engineer's PM (that engineer is copied on) where PM writes "we don't need elevations"
?ÿ
Always good to have such things in writing, and recoverable. Nice work.?ÿ?ÿ
But the Surveyor being wise and having done this a time or two in the past knew elevations could be important at some later date so carried them anyway and now gets to be the hero of the hour, for a nominal fee of course! ??ÿ
Surveyor is in an untenable position where he is staring up survey operations for firm and is hamstrung by lack of equipment that was promised to soon be acquired almost a year ago. Client is, of course, in house.?ÿ Surveyor is fed up.?ÿ
Well...that's not the happy ending I expected...

Man, you change jobs like I change shirts!?ÿ But -- as my wife often points out -- I'm an incorrigible creature of habit, which probably accounts for the fact that I'm about to start my 27th year of self-employment.
Some days I try on two or three shirts until I hit the one that just feels comfy?ÿ

I've been surveying for 29 years. I recently tallied up all the positions I've held and it came to 13. That includes 2 situations of 7 years each. So I've had quite a few that lasted just a year or so. Some of that was me, most of it was them. I think that I am a better surveyor and manager for having been exposed to so many different styles. Sometimes all I learned was how not to do it. But I always learned something.?ÿ ?ÿ

On a totally unrelated thread hi-jack, how old is your oldest shirt?
how old is your oldest shirt?
I can't provide a definitive answer, but I can say that I have a couple that are about 27 years old, because I got them to go with the suit I bought to call on potential clients when I first set up shop.?ÿ I wore that suit during the first 2 weeks; since then it's only gotten worn for weddings and funerals.

this is California, it's perfectly acceptable to wear cut-off jeans and a t-shirt to a funeral.
