WTF does a Surveyor do ?

I wish you the best, and have no good advice. My feelings about dealing with "city hall" (any gobt)

Whether you are in criminal court, dealing with the assessors office, or stuff like this here, you have this gigantic funnel sitting on top of your head, and in that funnel is the local police, prosecutor's office, the entire court system, the state police and lab and related, the entire state court, and the federal gobt departments, courts and prosecutors. The entire U.S. gobt weight is on top of your head, all channeled down that tiny nozzle, concentrated on YOUR head.
I started with the County at 18 yrs 10 mos old, top 3 on written did well in interview as had experience plus they knew Dad who was in the biz. Dad died 5 Mos later.
I lasted 5 yrs 10 mos as couldn't envision working there for 48 years after Reagan jacked the full retirement age to 67 for SS.

Patience and kissing *** goes a long way with these screws so you have to plan mentally for that.

I understand why Alan Winterborne killed 4 including a policeman regarding an unemployment claim Oxnard Ca. In '93. I had spent a few trips and long waits plus watching these clowns working if that is what you call it in that very office. I believe the cop was shot with a 30-06 at less than 200' northbound Victoria Ave short of intersection Olivas Dr.
Sad but having been in that office I get it..

It was different then as I'd work when we had work, 6 others laid off completely and then have to go to EDD reopen claim etc. After the killings they revamped system.
