I haven’t blogged in a few days because not too much is really happening. My brother and I finished up that Census project we were on, and so far have only got one back to be resubmitted after correcting a few things We’ve been working outside for the past 3 days GPSing the [...]

After we get off work at 5pm, me and Chase are heading down to Temple, GA, about 1.5 hrs away, to get started on a job for our oldest brother. We’ve got these security installs down pretty good. It used to take 10-12 hours for us to completely do the wire runs and mount all of [...]

Maybe it’s just me, but I’ve always viewed parking and parking spots as a first come first serve type deal, excluding Handicap parking of course. We have an upper lot and lower lot here at work, which is seriously no more than 100ft max difference between parking in the lower as opposed to the upper.

Things have been so hectic this week at work. Thank goodness that today is friday. Apparently before my brother and I go out in the field to do our work, we have to go around to everyone and ask if they need us to make any maps or files for them before we go. Which [...]

Whew…just when I thought that I’d be back in the office for the next few months something comes up We were asked to collect ~150 more railroad crossings in 3 other counties. These are quite a distance away, so there’s going to be some added travel time in there which will give us 2 [...]

Unfortunately I’m back in the office now Field work just doesn’t seem to last long enough. We managed to GPS close to 200 different track intersections over the last few days. The only one that we needed to get that we didn’t, was on the interestate at a point that has a narrow shoulder [...]

In our house, upstairs we have a 2nd bathroom. Which actually has always been more of a bathroom-to-be. It’s always been unfinished for as long as I can remember, just an empty room, no sheetrock or anything. It would have been nice to have been complete when we were younger, but due to other things [...]

I so forgot how much more I enjoy work when I’m doing field work rather than office. All week this week we have been outside driving to each railroad crossing in particular counties and GPSing them. The week goes by so much faster not sitting in the office all day. Monday and Tuesday were pretty [...]

Finally I’m going to get to work out of the office again. I’m excited to get some days that I won’t have to stare at this screen all day long. I’ll be out GPSing RailRoad Crossings in three of our neighboring counties. There’s roughly 180 crossings that need to be mapped out so it should [...]

I’ve been pretty stressed out lately with work. See, I’m working on this project that I was allocated ~450hrs to complete, and it’s something that no one here has done before the way it’s being done. So saying that you should be complete in X amount of hours really isn’t the right way to approach it. But I [...]
