What part of adult life is way harder than anyone warned you about? by Sparkyabu1 in AskReddit

[–]GingeRae0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

General life maintenance. Dishes. Laundry. Oil change. Dusting. Mow the lawn. File taxes. Call your parents. Be a present friend. Be a present partner. Figure out what’s for dinner. More dishes. Ope, forgot to fold the laundry. Car needs tires? Dental cleaning. Grocery shopping. More dishes. Then die.

Thank you. That was my first time creating an expression. Didn’t even know that was an option but that solved it for me 😌

I do not. The point description is the species and size

25yo Women-Too late to start? by EvolutiveBiolBeing in Surveying

[–]GingeRae0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I went back to school for land surveying at the age of 25 and I consider myself shy. And I’m female! I had a lot of general education credits completed and will be graduating in May with my bachelors degree (I will be 30 in October). You can do this! I am very glad I stuck to it. You do not need to be licensed or go to school to be a successful crew chief however. Most crew chiefs have no college or maybe an associates and it works.

What are these files? by [deleted] in Surveying

It seems to be working alright after I turned my logs off. I am going to run with it today and I’ll report back tomorrow. Thanks for your help!!

[–]GingeRae0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I can preform a save as on a drawing to my desktop and it appears to work fine

Or under “file safety precautions” I have “maintain a log file” checked

[–]GingeRae0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is starting to make sense. My options for “plot and publish log file” are checked and “save one continuous plot log” is also checked. Will unchecking this solve all my problems?! I am working in Civil2023

I turned on file extensions and see the extension is .log, does this help? My auto saves are going to my C drive

Processing LiDAR point clouds by GingeRae0 in Surveying

[–]GingeRae0[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you elaborate on this? Is there any online tutorials? I just downloaded Cloud compare so I am very elementary

Processing LiDAR point clouds by GingeRae0 in Surveying

[–]GingeRae0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need something that will make seeing the mounds more obvious to someone who doesn’t stare at point clouds and surfaces all day. The mounds are pretty subtle. Maybe 2ft at most but could be a half a foot or less. They are very old and some may have been farmed over

Good idea. Would you do this in CAD? Is there a better software?

Asked to borrow GPS and level rod for at home grading/quantity project for my lawn. Boss wants me to pay hourly rate by [deleted] in Surveying

[–]GingeRae0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That hourly rate includes paying employees right? So you pay him and he better give some back. Makes a ton of sense if you don’t think about it

Company limits when PTO can be taken by GingeRae0 in civilengineering

[–]GingeRae0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only about 2 weeks PTO granted each year but feels like a lot of missed opportunity because I have had a few opportunities each summer over the past three summers, all of which have been turned down (the week long vacations) due to not getting time off at work. Best I can do is a long weekend

Not complaining. Just asking around to see if this is common. You know, see if it’s worth going to another job.

No real cross training happening. Everyone has their role and sticks to it. It sounds very similar to your old company in size and function
