Where's troll? - muddyandcold - 24th March 2006
What on earth has occurred to troll?? After his numerous appearances on this site he has all but disappeared! Is it in someway connected to his appointment as a curator??

He has been taken from here to a place of curation... there to be sat behind a desk until unable to move through bun ingestion...
but... seriously... I was thinking that same thought this very morn....
Another day another WSI?

Good morning all.Apologies for absence lately.Truth is, I hit my wall I`m afraid.The average (apparently) is around four years before an archaeologist finally throws in the towel.For me, eight years.A couple of weeks ago I finally made the decision to go out and find a real job and e-mailed Mr Hosty to that effect. I suppose that I can no longer stand by and watch the un-policed incompetence ubiquitous on the commercial circuit.Particularly in light of an entirely un-regulated industry and a back-peddling "professional" Institute.I will of course continue (with your permission) to contribute here but, as a member of the public.Love and cream cakes to all!

Greetings and salutations to all.Much soul-searching lately and have had to think seriously about how I move next.Have had a good look around at some of the civvie jobs available out there in the real world and have been convincing myself that I could spend the rest of my working life getting out of my sack to go and do them.Failed miserably.I have a cunning plan-I`m going to take a leap of faith and apply for a masters as so many of my younger colleagues have done in the hope that I can move sideways rather than out of archaeology.As I will be almost entirely reliant upon funding, I`ve thrown meself back into the mud to bank some overtime.So, positive things are happening-the archaeology is turning out to be sexy too.Was a close shave.Have no idea where the Curator rumour came from guys, no truth in it I`m afraid-would be a planning commitee`s worst nightmare and my host county would quickly become filled to the brim with chocolate shops and bookshops full of fart jokes.
