field work whining

I should stop complaining about being out in the field even when conditions are the direst I could possibly work in. What other profession pays you to go diving even as the snowbirds from Washington to Ontario shovel out money to be herded like sheep through the water? But after sitting for four hours in a car, it is quite annoying to find out your vision underwater extends only to your knees, forget about taking pictures from five feet away. And so, another four hours must be endured the following day to make up for a lost one. But then, on the third day, the winds calmed and the waters sparkled, and that made up for the nastiness of the days past.
