thanks for the replies everyone!?ÿ?ÿ
Definitely lots of great advice posted. As a fellow PC, I??ll say this: take the time to train your helper, if you have one. Intelligence is a variable aspect. Pay attention to how they learn and what they get easily or if they are struggling with concepts. Be patient and treat them respectfully, even if your chiefs didn??t. A second set of well trained eyes can help catch mistakes and makes your job easier, more efficient, and less stressful. I have a few fellow chiefs who don??t spend a wink teaching and as our company gets busy it becomes difficult to promote from within if a helper hasn??t learned much in three years.?ÿ
Not talking to the public is good advise for construction, but a recipe for disaster in boundary work. Of course discretion is still important.
