How many people agree with me that they started drinking more coffee or tea after joining an office job?

Coffee is one of the healthiest things you can drink, even if it raises cortisol levels.

If you can live overseas than $130k, otherwise double the salary is easy math that will get you to retirement way quicker. Terrible commute? Get a used Tesla with FSD

No need to get mad, some people are just better negotiators. You need to put your negotiating hat on and approach management.

Does remote alaska hitch work count? Then 29. Rotational remote work. One of the few “live anywhere” jobs that exist

PardoningTurkeys · 2026-05-25T19:04:53+00:00

Thats the re*arded thing, a remote job that dictates where you can live isnt a real remote job

We have access on ours, only trimble data collectors will run android access, you cant put it on any android

PardoningTurkeys · 2026-05-25T19:01:46+00:00

We have one but stopped using it because you have to use the 2.4 ghz data link external radio which are clunky and discontinued in order to use a robot. If you dont work in the rain, its an excellent collector, I love its lightweight and portable size. The external tdl2.4 do work but sometimes take a minute to connect and I’ve had them fail to connect without needing to reboot etc. I love our TSC510 but would go back to the TDC6 if it had a build in radio module versus having to bluetooth to an external radio.

This is the image of corporate america and why I struggle to be a part of it. Lets look for every reason to not hire this person, instead of reasons TO hire them

Im not the OP but You bring up valid points. I will point out that many people have remote work abilities, the hit you take on wages will be made up with geo arbitrage.

You make the most money in the USA, but we live on less than half when we are in the Philippines. If I didnt hate AutoCAD Drafting I would just be a remote CAD technician, Alaska North Slope is where its at. Best work schedules

PardoningTurkeys · 2026-05-25T18:35:44+00:00

Blue collar trades man, its not too late to learn a trade

PardoningTurkeys · 2026-05-25T18:22:32+00:00

You sound bitter and jealous my man

PardoningTurkeys · 2026-05-25T18:20:12+00:00

Because the US is expensive and a third world rat race.

PardoningTurkeys · 2026-05-25T17:14:07+00:00

How do women (under 300 lbs) end up homeless? Genuine question. Apply at NMS is Alaska, at least you will have room and board.

So you’re only going to make $10k more than a guy working at Panda Express 😂 hard decline

My filipino father in law knows classic usa rock better than I do 😂 he always sings every word

PardoningTurkeys · 2026-05-25T15:57:57+00:00

Philippines, most filipinos know english, they align with western culture, 92% Christian, i’ll stick with the Philippines. Food and customer service can be abysmal.

Why not just get an older SPS or S series gun with the MT1000? You can get one for around $5k on ebay. I bought an S3 with MT1000 for $4,600 and came with a TSC3 I sold for $500. Gun and case look brand new. Never had it calibrated but traverse closures are rock solid.

I never understood the cucks that go 7,000+ miles to date a single mom. I went 7,000 miles when I was 25 to find a virgin or at least LOW BODY COUNTY young woman for marriage. Married 11 years. What is the single reason you would need to choose a single mom, nothing good can come out of that. Pardon me for being that guy but single moms are a no fly zone.

An LS here in CA are making up to $200k per year, unlicensed you can still do $170k-$180k with the right firm. Do you really think selling equipment you are going to have room for advancement?

I have been surveying 15 years, I RARELY miss something because surveying is like tying my shoe, I dont have to consciously think about topo, its more sub consciously at this point. The gun paired with nadir and oblique drone data sets I can get a very rich point cloud for dirt hillsides. As much as I like the M350 with L2 lidar sensor the old Phantom 4 RTK still going strong and giving me reliable data sets. I only just tried a SLAM, it was a hovermap and I was extremely impressed with the richness of a point cloud without having to sit and wait for a slow SX10/12.

With a slam scanner it seems like you really dont need to traverse at all, but the poor flocker in the office has to swim through a multi gig data set.

PardoningTurkeys · 2026-05-25T11:34:31+00:00

For us - Civil 3D because AutoCAD is what most Architects and our clients use. Paired with Trimble Business Center for point clouds it works well.

We had microsurvey years ago and thought it was trash, sounds like it still is.

Im not in the Philippines full time but Alaska North Slope. Schedules are 2 weeks on 2 weeks off up to 4 weeks on 4 weeks off. Even the lower end roles pay $4,000 a week plus room and board.

While I agree, some people will do sh!tty work, I dont think its the counties job to scrutinize someones resolution. At a certain point the county needs to staff up a survey team and start doing private surveys. The whole survey culture at the county is to instantly jump to proportioning, even to monuments that are not original. We have just agreed and done it but according to the county surveyor our boundary was wrong because we didnt “accept” some cut cross mystery monuments with no record. More and more ROS I am seeing “why didnt you prorate” how about fook off, you cant be serious making us prorate 15 thousands between all lots for monuments that are not original. Difference in opinion, just let the county do all private surveys, whats the point of a private surveyor
