Finally I've succeeded in it!

I begin to think that this country is maybe damned for nothing will work at once here. Neither in work nor otherwise.
I've been waiting for the key for my mailbox for 3 weeks for instance. Zoltán could tell more stories about the inconsistent bureaucrats at the police, where foreigners have to apply for work permission. Today the the instrument by which he was working happened to loose the data he recorded so far. The complete file vanished, so he had to start again from the beginning, however he had nearly finished it.

Yesterday we were in trouble like on Friday. Although we could do the job I have prepared the dates, but it would be better to see the side on the weekend. Because after around an hour searching we figured out that the whole area had changed so much that only one fix point remained of the many I collected. So we couldn't do anything else but use GPS. But it was only after lunch. I had on my mind the setting out job that left from Friday. The guy had called me also and enquired about when we go there. Hardly had we go out after lunch it begun to rain. I wouldn't be problem at all, but since I had to go into a meter tall weed my legs got wet immediately from feet til thighs. :) Well done. We finished by 5 pm.
Meanwhile Zoltán was tinkering with the preparation query and transformation for the LIDL steak out job. If it would be so easy... At the end I got the idea that it was meaningless to transform all the detail points always. Much more simple to transform just the 3-4 fix points into the those system therefore there is no need to transform later at all. So we did. When we arrived to the site at around 6 pm free station won't work since we mistyped a coordinate. At the end by 8 pm we finished. I was happy despite my smacky wet shoes because of the overtime and because I thought that only the levelling left.

This morning Stian assistant colleague of mine was out with somebody else. I thought we would do the levelling in the afternoon and could finish in time. Than the guy from LIDL called me for the job we did yesterday was wrong, because the plan had changed and so we had to do it again. We didn't know about this changing. He sent the drawing at 11 am. I was a bit grumbling to go back there third time again but I calmed down soon since it wasn't our fault.
And since that time finally everything succeeded without trouble. The querying, transferring into instrument, and on the site the free station as well. Nothing was on the way we could set out everything from only one station. So I can't find words! The only little problem was that we brought a stativ which wasn't good enough for levelling therefore we had to go back to the Office and change it. We had to have a competition with the time; we had to close the lap before sunset and darkness. And we won, by 10 minutes! "Yess! Motivasjon!"-as we heard it in Bergen on the company meeting two week ago. I have already sent the results to the costumer at the evening as my boss told me.
