Keep an eye out for words like “mapping driver

 Today is my last day as a gainfully employed person. This is, of course, a lie, but it works if you assume that having a full time JOB as opposed to merely working is taken into account.  I am on holiday from that one so I am not expecting a phone call to demand I do a tight sixty minutes on the implications of the Liberal Health Reforms of the later Edwardian era but from now on, work may be regarded as not the only thing in my life.  What if  I get bored?  Maybe I need to get out of the house.  Are Streetview taking on?  Well I looked it up.


According to Tech Careers I need:

  • A clean driving record is a must. No company wants to hand over the keys to their high-tech vehicles to someone with a history of fender-benders or speeding tickets.

  • Familiarity with technology is also key, considering you’ll be operating some specialized gear to capture those 360-degree street views.

  • You don’t need to be Lewis Hamilton, but effective navigation skills are crucial. You’ll need to be comfortable finding your way around unfamiliar territories without breaking a sweat.

  • In some cases, a professional driving license might be required, so check if you need any extra qualifications for the heavier vehicles.

Furthermore I should:

  1. Online Job Boards : Platforms like Indeed, Glassdoor, or Monster can serve as treasure maps to these exclusive roles. Keep an eye out for words like “mapping driver” or “geographical data collection.”

  2. Contracting Company Career Pages : A direct approach is sometimes the best route. Seek out the websites of companies like the aforementioned Adecco Group or others like Navajo Express that might contract with Google.

  3. Industry-specific forums or employment websites : Diving into niche communities, like GIS Lounge which caters to the geographic information system community, can unearth some specialized opportunities.




We are having a day of enjoying the small lanes and estate lined thoroughfares.  The mystery of the cobbles - real or fake - is solved when we get as far as a ropey bit of tarmac put over them.  We pass one place worthy of review - Huertos las Parras, a fruit wholesaler.  https://huertolasparras.com/  Five stars, three reviews, entire content ‘Very Professional.’





















And so, tomorrow, we embrace September.

Much a do about something

  In North Lincolnshire there is an OS square which is all but empty,  In a single corner stretches a few metres of power cables to spoil the virgin whiteness.  Today’s walk is not so blessed with flat calm.  We will see trees.  We will see ups.  Views are compulsory.  Houses aren’t.  Let's talk about Asturias in the years from 718 to 757. In 711 the full force of the Islamic tide swept from North Africa into Visigothic Spain. At the Battle of Guadalete King Roderic and much of the nobility were killed and the Iberian Peninsula collapsed before the all conquering crescent.  The thing is, Asturias is a long way from the main body of Spain. It is a bit wet and more to the point lacking the plunder which was the way of paying the Army of the Conquest.  The Caliphate’s hold on Asturias was tenuous to say the least.  Enter  Pelagius. Pelagius has many myths swirling around him and a very butch Victorian statue in Gijon.  Accord...

In which a Roman Bridge and a Funeral Parlour are reviewed.

  We are rising again. We are rising 20 of your earth metres today. We will be 818m above the level sea. We are about at the highest point in the Cheviot Hills. We cross the Rio Porma and into Villarente and Puente Villarente. Both these twin settlements, lurking along the roadside, have generally grown in size since 2000.   https://www.turismocastillayleon.com/en/art-culture-heritage/great-routes/way-saint-james/puente-villarente First we must cross the Roman Bridge. Coyotuco is back with a five star review: A beautiful BRIDGE with a lot of history but it is not PEDESTRIAN. For pedestrians they have made a PEDESTRIAN WALKWAY right next to it. We are passing by the Artesanias Luyma so let us gaze at their ceramic goodness. Let us wonder  https://www.artesaniasluyma.com/categorias/pereruela/ While we are here and we are passing the Tanatorio Camino de Santiago let us visit this 39 reviewed funeral home. It gets an average of 4.9 stars.  https://www.antamontalvo.es/esq...

Mini Pieces of Supposed tuna

  Pina de Ebro has something for everyone who enjoys the architecture of Spanish pueblos.  It has the tiny lanes, on which houses have been rebuilt for generations without a care for the needs of the modern motorist.  We have the pathways which have been tiled over but once were dirt tracks.  We have the modern suburban developments of low rise houses and 80s hopefully aspiring shacks.  First all, however, we have a park. One thing we noticed, especially with a small boy in tow, was the number of parks with interesting play equipment.  This is because, in Spain, people seem to like children.  This does make them a semi-public property and people feel free to indulge them with sweetmeats and pass comments. ‘I think sucking thumbs makes children look ugly’ said one elderly woman.’ My Spanish for ‘well desiccated prune face, no one asked you’ deserted me.  The play equipment is in the Plaza Pilarin Artigas.  Honestly I’ve looked and was giving u...
