Carl-Johan, I think the replies before yours were a bit tongue-in-cheek. 99% of my encounters with people are positive. Our work really is appreciated. Misunderstood, or at least viewed as mystical and nebulous at times, but mostly appreciated all the same. I can not even count the number of clients that have thanked me for what I was able to accomplish for them. The proof is in the pudding!
This is so true, at least on every site in the last two weeks I had someone wondering if I was a "private surveyor" or a "government" one? "Oh, I thought maybe you were gonna widen the road or something" seems to be the reply when I tell them I'm private.
Funny how the mere presence of a Land Surveyor invokes the imagination of something that is usually so far from the truth that it seems like a threat or a bad dream gone wrong, like is the railroad really going here?

Very true, very true. But from time to time, there are actually people that are happy to see you aswell :)
