My crews problems today.
GPS is acting up, corners that were said to be set by another surveyor, turns up nothing, GPS is acting up more, get out Robot, can not boot up surveying software (wtf). Metal locator is acting up, truck starts acting up, stops acting up and starts again. almost no cell phone coverage (they have to hike to the top of a hill for each call). Land owner pissed because of all of our problems.
My office problems today.
Can't put much time into a getting a hot hot deadline plat done due to crew problems.
Office phone decides to quit recording messages, clients still waiting on hot hot deadline plat. Dog finally catches squirrel after 4 years of trying, gets bit and probably needs a shot from the vet. I call clients and tell them that there is no way they are getting their survey today. Will be ready in the morning.
Screw it, time to lock it up for the day.
Damage control tomorrow.

If it wasn't for bad luck, you had no luck at all.
I think there must have been some alien influence going on around there today. Magnetic pulse action maybe? 🙂
Some days it just doesn't pay to get out of bed.

Sounds pretty standard for around here. 🙂

Can't be that "hot hot of a deadline" if you're spending time posting on Beerleg IMHO.
Ever say f-it clearcut?
I did and I meant it.
Randy
:good:
You ever notice how if you have a great day someone else thinks it ain't all that great, and if you have a horrible day and tell people about it there's always someone who says it can't be that bad, or they had a much worse day than you?
I hope things look better tomorrow.

sounds like you made the right call. sometimes we hit our head against the wall until we step back and walk through the door... or something like that.
better day tomorrow
Thanks Tom and Shawn,
My guess is that you guys have been there done that as i have many times and it always gets you when you least expect it.

When I have a bad day ...
I like to grab a machete and go cut brush. You can get rid of a lot of frustrations that way.
Yea! Tom.
It's the old saying "first liar never has a chance!";-)
Some days are just like that. Tomorrow will be better. At least that's what I tell myself. Putting things in perspective, nobody got killed or maimed.
I hear ya- sometimes, it seems like the most productive thing I can do is stop answering the phone and mop the floor.
A great saying from my Dad relative to days like yours today: There'll be days like that, then there'll be days that are worse.
Truer words were never spoken by a farmer.
The more equipment you rely on, the more opportunity for it to not work.....correctly. The more people you rely on, the more opportunity to be let down. The day you absolutely, positively must have great weather, it won't happen. Then you get that phone call: So and so died/is in the hospital/had a stroke/fell again/tried to kill herself/called from Mexico and wants to come home.
When I have a bad day ...
I like a kaiser blade....I cleaned off a quarter mile of fence one day, and it felt great!
Anger management...B-)
I lost my billfold with all my credit cards and over $1000 cash.
I have to keep praying for mercy. I will include you also, Randy.
When I have a bad day ...
"some folks call it a Slingblade....." 🙂
Sounds like my crews day yesterday also, except they had no cell coverage....yet somehow found a very sketchy Wi-Fi signal that made troubleshooting more difficult than it should of been. Last msg to crew 'pack it up we'll fix it for tomorrow'
Today....so far no communication so I am assuming things are working as intended. i.e. points falling the right spot, elevations not off 100+ feet, gps working properly, etc....
