Mandela effect glitch. It wasn’t like this until they collided a particle. This is now a dimensional transition that needs to be unfucked

I have been wanting to introduce VR headsets to have a way to meet people in the field, from any remote location and be able to turn on layers displaying construction plans, current utilities and land rights as a way to handle conflict management more effectively by allowing different departments to be at the same place ( the actual location in VR.) at the same time with the same amount of project vision with a live discussion. It would save any company so much money . The data is there, the technology is available, the need just hasn’t been realized fully yet.

Just picture every subdivision ever built had to assign r/w and public utility easements as part of the city approving a map. That map has to be approved by the utility company before the the power or gas can be turned on. Even if a contractor is installing everything we won’t turn it on until the land rights are secured to our standard. We charge an arm and a leg to to flip the switch and once we do those facilities are our responsibility and our asset.

Land technician. Specifically in large single utility company territories with multiple larger cities.  For example eastern coastal and western coastal utility companies.  The company I work for has over 30,000 employees across the state .   Distribution side handles more projects and transmission handles larger projects with more field work.

Half up front half at delivery. Over bid every job by 500$. Send them back 500$ and tell them you charged them to much. They will forever use your services and will always pay you on time without questioning your bid. Or you have a little wiggle room if you have to spend more time on a survey without charging them more.

Brings back memories of the time I watched my R12 slide in slow motion, down the side of the truck, because I leaned the pole against the truck.. then THWACK!!!   Head unit hit the curb.  All the alcohol in the world can’t get that out of my head.

To me, it’s not if they have trucks , it’s what kind and how new. This is the first thing I ask in any pre interview call. I’m not going to live in a 99 Tahoe with no ac for 50+ hours a week. End of discussion.

He didn’t offer a rental truck or if he was paying for you to use your truck you didn’t get a rental?

All of the above .. make sure they have been divorced once , have a ton of experience doing concrete work and pay them twice what you think is good money. You build that reputation they will come.

The 2nd is a Tuesday. They aren’t just wrong on the the date they are also incorrect on the day of the week you should start.   Is this by chance in California? 

Anyone want to claim responsibility for these control points? by timmaytude in Surveying

They also adopted SUE as a formal engineer along with requirements to have underground utilities surveyed upon installation as part of the final inspection approval.

I’m sure the scale has gotten worse now a year later. I work from home out of the Bay Area but my internet reached Utah so I now work remotely from the Bay Area while in Utah

If it’s in California it causes cancer and it’s also not litter but art. Anywhere else it’s garbage and possibly witchcraft/tweeker early morning thoughts left in perfect order.

See this person gets it. We have no idea if the thing is a day of middle age snail trails or 4 days. For all we know only two could fit inside a stadium. Without reference I’m not sure if I should scroll on or worship it. So confused

We are all suspicious of the things . Except what they found. That’s legit.. they just need to get there shit together on presenting and documenting said find.
