I am at a dry spot in work right now. I've done everything that has come up as deadlines and I've been doing field work with Vivian. I guess now it's back to the old project list. And everything I was working on, I don't much look forward to going back to ( Read more... )

Just applied to a couple of jobs. I'm really expanding my geographic area. One is Temp part-time Geographer position in Seattle, WA with the USGS. I'm really sort of overqualified for it, but here's hoping my resume says that. I also applied to one with the SAIC (which stands for Science Applications International Corporation) in Chantilly, VA with ( Read more... )

Not much to report. I am still waiting on someone to tell me if there's anything special I'll need to do with the SCA. I was going to remind Paul about it today but he was in meetings all afternoon. I'll have to remember to get him to do something about it this week though, because he'll be gone all next week ( Read more... )

I am still finding it hard to be "awake". Yesterday wasn't so bad. Monday was okay. Maybe it was because I broke down and had some caffeine? I haven't had any today and I feel like I'm going to fall asleep in my desk chair. But when I woke up this morning, even before my alarm clock went off, I didn't feel that sleepy. I got up alot easier than I ( Read more... )

Well, apparently for the Choctawhatchee project I need to include the Pea subbasin, so I have to go back and reclip everything to a new extent. Grr. That's what I've been doing all day so far, other than read a mail file and my email.

Tomorrow Beth starts so we'll see how that goes. It probably means it will be difficult to concentrate up front ( Read more... )

The perdido key project for Lorna was messed up because of the new parcel dataset for Escambia county, so I've just spent pretty much the entire day fixing it. At least it shouldn't happen again for quite a while. The next thing I need to do is go through and export all of those parcels into a new shapefile but there are some from 07 and most are ( Read more... )

Lots of staff changes going on around here.

Apparently we are getting a new SCA intern within weeks - someone named Beth who I believe is going to be working with fish and mussels. She'll be sitting in my old seat apparently. I don't know when her start date is though, I think she's waiting on the background check to go through. I think she'll be ( Read more... )

I have just been waiting for about 4 hours for a process to finish on a computer in the GIS lab so that I could continue to work on my own computer. I just walk back there, and ArcMap is closed. Isn't that wonderful? Someone decided that it needed to be closed. :(

I was trying to resolve this stupid dissolve issue I'm having with the buffers for the ( Read more... )

One of the projected paths of Hurricane Gustav is right smack at us. Woo-hoo ( Read more... )

I talked to both my insurance company and the podiatrist's office - they're going to wind up sending me some money back, but that should at least resolve the stupid deductible issue. I was also reading on my insurance info that my out of pocket maximum per year is $1000. I'll meet at least half that ( Read more... )
