What a Relief

by Shane Holden on February 28, 2008

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 weeks worth of field work.  I was asked if I wanted to do them or if we should just pass on it, and my response was that I WANTED to do them, lol.  So obviously I have grown a bit tired of the desk work over the years and have very much enjoyed the time outside and want more of it! ;)

So great to be out of the office
