Told boss I was ok with being put in the deep end when I got back . Felt like I have been thrown out of a plane in the middle of the pacific ocean without a fucking shute . First project is a boundary survey that was last surveyed in 1899 . Yeah 117 years ago . Awesome , even fun , when you ' re in the swing of things . Not great as your first project on a hot day , fronting onto Mt Lindesay Hwy with heavy traffic been in the bush for 6 . 5 months so traffic noise is maddening and the flies out today in cattle country are insane . Job was meant to be a simple lease , now it stretches over 2 parcels almost double the work Fences are up to shit . Fences that are there are solid metal making the pin finder for the iron pins underground survey reference mark useless . Internal settings on total stations have been changed and screwed up and despite being at work 4 days I was only told about it while in WAS ALREADY IN THE FIELD AN HOUR AWAY FROM THE OFFICE today . Apparently they ' ve been having some ' issues ' with a few machines for 2 months now and thought they would just put up with it until I got back and fixed them . So now I have to go through all 4 with a fine tooth comb and find out just how fucked they are . FUCK FRIDAYS . Sorry . Needed to rant . Need to go camping already . Breathe Oh and the PPE I have to wear . Heavy as fuck steel caps and long pantssleves with heavy ' safe ' clothing . After wearing comfortable light awesome hiking clothes for 7 months I ' m suffocating in these clothes .
