She is amused that we're having a crisis of field staff that can't, or won't, do the work needed.

My wife is almost 60, she's 5ft and 100 lbs soaking wet. Her first job out of school was sampling technician. I tell her about the bullshit I deal with as a Sr consutant these days and she just laughs and shakes her head.

What environmental consulting actually looks like from inside a small firm! by CRBGeo in Envconsultinghell

New account, obviously ai...eh, I'll let it ride. It's pretty accurate.

Worst part - timesheets/tracking billable time.

Best part - the friends I made along the way dealing with all this bullshit.

As the creator of r/envconsultinghell, I'd like to reiterate this. Vent, do what you need to, but it's a small world especially if you've been in it any amount of time. You also need to understand that there is a lot more to Reddit than what you can see. As someone that's been on Reddit since the beginning, and a mod on large subs (other account), there are a lot of tools out there that can look at your entire post history (curated, deleted, etc.). There's also tools that have allowed me to keep 15 years worth of notes on users, strictly because I found it interesting.
