Today was Stressful. Met with local disaster mitigation agency then was left to do vs30 all day in a situation that was like herding cats.
vs30 is Measuring ground stuff. It involves lots of expensive equipment that has to be laid out in a certain way over a large area and then hammer strikes that also have to be done in a certain way
Frustrating because there was a combination of students and locals.
Half didn’t speak English and we only had one person who knew both because the other wanted to go to the beach
Everyone else knew little to nothing about how to do it properly but it’s really hard to order people 250ft away around while also running the computer program etc
It worked out in the end but idk how it’ll go tomorrow
I barely know how to use the stuff myself. It was like the blind leading the blind
This work is not for my thesis. We’ll see how it goes today.
