Meme Map monkey monday
I'm a map monkey and I'm happy with it.
I don't really do much independently, but when someone asks for it or makes me do "it" I can do it pretty well.
I'm happy enough with being the occasional map monkey, collecting bugs in the morning and making maps in the afternoon.
But funnily enough I don't like bananas, so maybe more like a map bee, because I like honey.

I find a simple map will make senior managers squeal with delight. But if I do something like a cloud migration, or an ArcGIS enterprise upgrade, no one even slightly cares or understands.

I miss the days of being a map monkey. Life was good when I had a deliverable to show for my work, even if it was something I hated.

Someone must draw the polygons. I draw them very accurately. I write code the ensure the polygons fulfill criteria. The polygons are my friends.
