Seriously DCPU - are you a private investigator in your day job or something mate. If there is something to be found - you dig it up - nothing gets past you.

Just filling my time quietly until they give me my manual to read.

In a past life, I spent some time doing photographic interpretation, just trying to stop some of those skills/learnings going too rusty.

So in other words, you worked for Mi6 interpreting field agents photos?
Sorry, hope I haven’t broken an official secrets act.

Definitely not ~ I mostly counted trees.

I am sure that’s what a real spy would say - particularly to their friends and family.

Wow, you worked for the city of Berlin and counted the trees in Tiergarten? I knew that someone had to put all those numbers on those 100000 trunks. Good work!

 

[DCPU]

That sounds very Teutonic.

you´l bet! They have a "Baumschutzverordnung" (tree protection ordinance)

"...Berlin's tree protection ordinance states that all deciduous trees, Scots pine, and the fruit tree species walnut and Turkish hazel are worthy of protection, provided they have a trunk circumference of at least 80 centimeters at a height of 130 centimeters, or 50 centimeters for multi-stemmed trees. So hands off if you want to cut one of these. Damage to such a tree is also prohibited..."

So they need a "tree register" and someone who counts/localises and marks the trees.

And this is where you come in

My older brother came home aged 10 or so with a new best friend. Mum said what does his dad do?
"He counts boats"
Actually he worked in the electoral office , counting votes...

Here in Queensland, the government employs persons who interpret satellite photos to determine unauthorised land clearing....
There are 1.73million sq km to cover so there's plenty of work to keep them busy!

So it's better to be a tree in Berlin than a firefighter, citizen or a police officer.

Sooner or later they will all loose their jobs. Rather sooner than later.

You might be better protected. And if someone does you some harm he will be prosecuted without any mercy!

Anything new with IA choosing service facilities across the world?;
BMW dealerships, Bosch service centers, independent European service centers, etc?

Is IA choosing these on their own, and/or are they accepting community input?

I know for a fact here in OZ, Ineos had a lot of car dealers and workshops contact them to show interest in becoming a service centre or to represent them as an agent...the selection process was to find compatible thinking people that would understand us the owners and our needs and aspirations...they seemed to have done that[so far so good]...USA is another kettle of fish with totally different arrangements as far as I can see in this regard due to the dealership networks.
