Given that you were an assistant field surveyor on an airfield run away project. You collected the following data in the field with your supervisor and he has requested you to present final results to the client on Wednesday 4^th December 2019 at exactly 07:00am complete with a topographical survey report.

Note the following:

1.     The field work was carried out in the early morning and your supervisor was definitely still drunk from the “party after party” evening he had yesterday.

2.    When you applied for the job you explicitly implied that you were practically a magician with GNSS equipment, CAD software and excellent at report writing. (Perhaps that’s why your boss isn’t worried at all)

3.    You obtained a GNSS rover - connected to EAGLECORS from Ms. Joy at Nathaniel Consult – Nakasero Office that you used for field data collection.

4.    Your boss promised to draw the site sketches during fieldwork, and also note the descriptions used in data capture as well as download the data from the controller BUT that was a terrible miscalculation on your part – you should have done it all personally because he was still too high to do anything.

5.    Luckily you know Ms. Joy from Nathaniel Consult and decide to ask her to send you the data from the controller which she does:
