Hi everybody

ive been on this site for a month and a half now and just realized i haven't said hi. Ive been too busy researching/obbessing over what asperger's syndrome really is.

My name is Dallas. I live in Fort St. John, BC. Im 26 years old. My current hobbies/interests include pyschology, tv, music, soul searching and working as a survey assistant.

Its nice to meet all of you.

I help the Party chief( who is trained to perform the fieldwork aspect of a land survey, im trained as well, i have my diploma in Geomatics engineering technology). im happier being an assistant it is less stressful, i have a hard time communicating what i want other people to do.
The company i work for surveys wellsites and pipelines. It basically a math science. We use the latest equpiment in GPS, total stations etc. There is a lot of trig invovled, as well as triganluation networks calcs, control networks calcs, least squares adjustments, stats.
Other areas of surveying include construction surveys, such as laying out roads, subway tunnels etc.
municipal surveys that deal with laying out subdivisions and doing real property reports or mortage certs when somebody decides to sell or buy a home.
Oilfield surveys which i mentioned above.

Wow! I'm glad I asked. That's way more fascinating than what I would have imagined.

Sounds like a very good use of your skills!

Welcome to WP!

I am very familiar with the GPS system myself. I use it at work.
