A Real Geologist

tulisan di baju kuliah lapangan kami angkatan 93
lucu-lucuan aja koq jangan ada yang tersinggung yach
walaupun ada dosen kami dulu yang sangat nggak setuju
dengan isi tulisan ini
baju ini sampai sekarang masih saya pakai
terutama kalau kerja ke lapangan
walaupun sekarang sudah mulai lusuh

DON’T NEED ROCK HAMMER

They break samples with their bare hands

DON’T SIT IN THE OFFICES

Being indoors made them crazy. They’d become geophysicist

DON’T GO TO THE MEETINGS

… Except to point at a map, and say ‘Drill Here’! and leave

DON’T LIKE MANAGER

Manager are necessary evil (ooops sorry), for dealing with bozos from human resources, been counters from accounting and other mental defectives

DON’T MAKE EXPLORATION BUDGET

Nervous managers make exploration budget. Real geologist ignore it !

DON’T USE COMPASSES

Real geologist always know exactly where they are and the direction of the nearest where the beer is available

DON’T MAKE MAPS

Maps are for novices, the forgetful, manager & pansies who like to play with colored pencils

DON’T WRITE REPORTS

Bureaucrats write reports, & look what they are like

DON’T HAVE JOINT VENTURE PARTNERS

Partners are for wimpy bedwetters who are unable to think big

DON’T USE COMPUTERS

Computers are for geophysicist, other nerd, and limp-wrested quiche-eaters who can’t think for themselves
