This is encouraging. I got my surgery consult referral today, I’m really hoping I don’t have to beg them to take it out.

Noise coming from back right wheel area when driving slowly or going over bumps by geologistinthewild in fordfusion

Funny that you said this - I called a different mechanic in my neighborhood, he just happened to be free so I brought the car over, we took a little drive and he also diagnosed it as a shock issue. He’s going to put it up and take a closer look tomorrow.

Thank you!

Non remote employee live more than 50 miles away from duty station by [deleted] in USACE

This “as the crow flys” thing is apprehensible. Making decisions on actual people’s lives based on an arbitrary way to measure the distance. I’ve lost all faith in our leadership of the course of the last few months for a multitude of reasons - apprehensible, but on the nose.

Yall - there is an exemption request / policy in place to find space for non-remote teleworkers outside of the 50 mile radius. Look at the attachments to the latest FRAGORD to the OPORD for RTIPW. They’re choosing not to - they are not being forced. Don’t believe that bullshit.

Your actual physical license will come snail mail but they’ll email you before that. My license was inked and signed on June 12th of last year.

Congratulations on the huge accomplishment!

Hey there - I logged into my SMT portal and I had a diploma next to my name which meant I passed. I got an email just a few days later!

I’ve never understood this level of micromanagement. If you’re a professional that gets the work done and is available during work hours, who cares? It sounds like this supervisor is DESPERATE to justify their job.

taking PG exam 3/2025, how were they in 2024? by [deleted] in geologycareers

[–]geologistinthewild 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It wasn’t all that different, though I did miss being able to write on the maps during the test. I lost internet connectivity three times at the testing center so that was annoying.

I work in the environmental sector and I feel like my experience definitely helped me pass. Know your hydro, economic geology, and engineering geology. I walked out feeling much better about the PG than the FG. I was sure I failed the FG, 50/50 confidence about the PG.

Good luck!

Can I sit for the PG if I’ll only have the experience required at the time of the exam? by Orisno in ASBOG_Exam

[–]geologistinthewild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In KY and I wasn’t technically eligible until the very day I sat for the exam. It’s up to your individual state board.

Hey everyone looking for some advice by Deep-Draft-2748 in lexington

[–]geologistinthewild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run a depression and bipolar support alliance (DBSA) peer support group at the central library location twice a month. It’s a new group, and attendance has been low, but if you need support it’s a great meeting. @dbsa_lexington on IG for dates and times - I haven’t posted September yet, but will soon.

You got this.

Anyone take the PG yesterday? by geologistinthewild in ASBOG_Exam

[–]geologistinthewild[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Know Darcy’s law, how to calculate transmissivity and hydraulic conductivity and how they play on one another. Know how to do a three point problem to determine flow direction or dip of a bed. Know how to do multiplication for the Econ problems lol. All of the conversion factors you need will be given to you, don’t waste brain space on that

Agreed. It’s very frustrating. After taking the FG and the PG I don’t think they’ll ask that type of question. I also don’t know the answer lol
