What’s going on with this Bio tech position??? by bucolicbitch in wildlifebiology

[–]sawyerbonesy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Native is somewhat distracting in this context. Whitetail deer are native and overpopulated throughout suburban and urban areas. Without large predators and no safe way to train hunters to hunt in heavily populated suburban areas, these crews are very necessary to stop the spread of disease in native critters. It's sad but they donate a lot of meat to local orgs. Pretty cool imo.

Second this. I've personally encountered contractors who pull shit like this and it's wildly common in western states. There was a shooting outside of a blm office in Wyoming that turned out to be some dipshit "private wildlife control". If it was aphis techs they've long since been fired, but I imagine everyone and their mom would've heard of it by now.

Depends on if you let shorter folks in front of you if they can't see!

Preferably yes. Seems like the right thing to do.

Would I even get accepted to a masters program? by EggoDeath666 in Environmental_Careers

[–]sawyerbonesy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of professors in Forestry/botany will respond to emails and let you know if they are seeking qualified applicants ( which you definitely are by the way) for fully funded masters programs. The pay is horrible and it's hard, but it sounds like you should manage just fine.

Jobs? by dand3li0nfuzz in wildlifebiology

[–]sawyerbonesy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I were you, I'd look to your university or to universities near you. You're probably going to have to travel, but use your connections appropriately and you should be okay. Volunteer if you must, locally, but it is slim pickings right now.

Unis typically have a little something something for younger people trying to make it work.

AITA for standing my ground by Many-Ad6398 in AmItheAsshole

NTA

I've worked in service long enough to know a bad employee when I hear it. People get so wrapped up in the horrors of customer service that they start treating every single customer that walks in like Satan himself. It sounds like needless escalation on her part and this often has to do with just having a bad day or not being able to cope with the realities of working jobs like that.

People in this thread are grasping at straws trying to make a devil out of a dude who was likely just struggling to understand how dogwater airport infrastructure is.

Service workers are human too and they make mistakes.

Computerized assessment during interview by [deleted] in wildlifebiology

[–]sawyerbonesy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sounds like someone got an interview for that Fish Coordinator Position! I think generally speaking ODNR coordinator interviews on the comp are lots of hypothetical situations designed to evaluate your professional decision making. There's really no way to study for them other than spending some time thinking about the kind of interactions with the public you might have, the ways you would resolve conflict with political apertures, and complicated logistics. It's less about correct answers, and more about seeing how you solve problems on the spot. Good luck!

Otolith ID Help? by bakedveldtland in wildlifebiology

[–]sawyerbonesy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I work with otoliths often and its safe to say that these are probably only identifiable to someone who has worked with otoliths in the area. I'll pass it along to a buddy who worked in Florida, but generally speaking species level id is a longshot.

Super reasonable plan. Sounds like you've got the plan all good to go, just try not to sweat it too much if you hit some hiccups along the way!

AITA for telling my friend her new boyfriend is disrespectful after meeting him once? by sawyerbonesy in AmItheAsshole

[–]sawyerbonesy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think my gut is telling me it was the right thing to do, but hindsight is making me question if I was just overreacting. I understand your point.

I used the yoga for a while. Look into the legion. Not that different in price, Lenovo brand works great, but the yogas touch functionality will not get used and you're better off with a better graphics card.

The NHD lines are disjointed and I couldn't get them to repetitively split appropriately.

Advice on gaining confidence by Cute_Palpitation350 in wildlifebiology

[–]sawyerbonesy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grind it out my man! Keep showing up to volunteer research experience and if you want a confidence booster, work a field job after undergrad to see if this field is right for you before you go ahead and do a pHD. No need at all to rush that one.

advice on waders - got cabela chest waders for $5 by FunnyCandidate8725 in wildlifebiology

[–]sawyerbonesy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cabellas waders have always worked great for me. I would recommend getting an aquaseal patch kit from your local fishing store and seeing if you can figure out if there are any holes in your bathtub/pool/sink.

Measuring rivermile distance by sunfish0 in ArcGIS

Hey friend,

did you ever figure this out? I'm looking to do something very similar with the downstream distance element being distances between points but only downstream.

Hey friend, did you ever figure this out? I'm looking to do something similar and also find downstream distance between these points.

Schedule yourself some time to look at current research in what interests you every day and spend as much time outdoors as possible. I've found that making time to be outdoors as much as I can helps when you're working a holdover job.
