The days madness
July 30, 2021•196 words
This was supposed to be just another field day. Turns out it was another day where the crew drove to a site then was unable to survey due to weather. The precipitation, while much needed, just wasn't going to break long enough to do any work in the field. When you are a field going crew, office days or down days are brutal. My other team mates were more antsy than I was but we are all frustrated on not being able to do the work we are supposed to be doing. Drive for several hours just to arrive in time for the rain to show up and build to the point that you can't work so you have to drive the several hours back without doing anything. We got back to the office and it seemed more like we were just slap happy. Hopefully we don't hear about our antics down the road but we just couldn't be productive mentally in the office today. It's been a week since we were able to do our actual work.
This field season has been oddly exhausting in ways I'm not sure I fully understand.
