I am SO FRUSTRATED right now I am near tears. I have really been enjoying my job so far and I actually look forward to logging core. The problem is that the man who hired me and the man who is the head geologist on site are polar opposites and it makes it VERY hard for me to do my job. The head geologist is a PhD and has an extremely... academic approach to logging core to the point where I am measuring changes in quartz vein intrusion level down to the inch.
I was originally trained how to log the core by Arnie, the guy who hired me and he has a very pragmatic approach to logging core. Basically, if it won't help to find gold, I didn't need to put it in the log. In school I was trained to log to a detail somewhere between these two extremes. This rant may be a little obscure to non-geologists, but what it boils down to is that I have to re-do 576 feet of core which took me two days to log in the first place and has already been logged once before, simply because I didn't write down where between the 2.5ft intervals the quartz increased or decreased. That 2.5 ft of leeway will not make a difference! I just have to do it because The head geo thinks that more information is always better. Is that really the case if I have to spend another 2 days doing it? ARRRRRRGHHH!!!!!!!
