🎉 A Surveyor's List of New Year's Resolutions -
1. "I will finally figure out how to fold up my measuring tape without it turning into a tangled mess. This is the year, I swear!"
2. "I resolve to convince my friends and family that surveying is way more exciting than they think. Who wouldn't want to hear about the exhilarating world of land measurement and boundary marking?"
3. "I will try to resist the urge to correct every crooked picture frame, uneven tile, or misaligned piece of furniture I come across. It's not easy, but I'll try."
4. "I promise not to get too sidetracked by the beauty of a perfectly drawn map. Okay, maybe just a little sidetracked." #mustlovemaps
5. "This year, I will continue to find the perfect spot for the most epic selfie with a theodolite and spam social media and family and friend whatsapp groups #Surveyorlife #geeklife
6. "I will remember to wear sunscreen and bring plenty of water on those long, sunny days of outdoor fieldwork. Nothing ruins a surveying expedition like a sunburn and dehydration." #beersareforafterwork
7. "I will resist the temptation to quote geometric principles in everyday conversations. It's not my fault if parallel lines and right angles are just so darn fascinating!"
8. "I vow to find a way to make my GPS and total station stop arguing with each other. Can't we all just get along and help me map out this site without the drama?"
9. "This year, I will master the art of dodging low-hanging branches, prickly bushes, and curious wildlife while trekking through the great outdoors. It's all part of the surveyor's graceful dance with nature."
10. “And lastly, I pledge to resist the urge to roll my eyes when met with the classic confusion between public opinion surveys or counting items as a living and the intriguing world of actual surveying. Embracing the mystery, I'll sprinkle a hint of enigma into every explanation of my noble profession.” #no_iamnotaquantitysurveyor
So here's to a year of precision, perseverance, and perhaps just a dash of surveying-related silliness. Happy New Year, surveyors! 🌟
