It was really busy over the weekend too. Weird. I guess that is a good enough excuse to repost that late “post” that I made by editing an old cause Kinja’d.

Yeah, I thought about making a post, but didn’t.

Sorry. We had 5 (of 18) let go here on Friday, including my boss and a good friend, and I’m still in shock a bit...
Wondering what the future holds, and what moves I should be making (already was making a few before Friday).

Not good. Why sort of work is it?

That’s rough. I remember all the layoffs that were happening late 2015/early 2016; it was not a fun time to be in the business.

Nope. I’m software/mapping support for a group of geologists and engineers at a small oil & gas company.

Yup. Not fun at all. Wondering if this is what the
‘80s felt like.

I would assume so.

Interesting. When I first graduated from college, I wanted to study cartography. However, my grades sucked and I didn’t get into the two schools I applied to. Ended up doing music instead. Which has kind of worked out.

I know we’ve discussed it before.
I think I encouraged you to download a free version of ArcMap. =)

Sorry, I never remember who I’ve blathered to. The app looks interesting, but I’m not sure what I’d map.

No problem, I’m the same.
It’s fun to get the census data and play around with it. Can’t wait for this year’s data to be released (eventually).

Now accurate do you think it will be? It’s no secret that the GOP is trying to skew the numbers.

This year’s census? I feel like the people who actually conduct it will do everything they can to make it as accurate as possible. The citizenship question was already taken off, wasn’t it? Not sure what else the administration can do to mess with the results.
Recent article, a little hard to parse...

I have read about a lack of funding, and a general lack of desire on getting an accurate count.

That sucks - I hope the Census Bureau pushes on and manages to get a great result despite of their obstruction.

Didn’t consider that the Russians would also meddle in the census, but makes sense.
