Dear DR,
You paint a grim picture of the world of consultancy. I get the distinct impresion you dislike your job with great gusto.
I put it to you Sir that if the situation arose and the opertunity presented itself which offered the same pay/conditions as you get at present but was based in the relm of excavation and in the front line of archaeology would you, Sir, swap.
I am street works qualified and work for a local authority. The company I am moving to has expertise in Planning inclusive of Party Wall matters.
I known my PPg`s, Pan`s, bbc`s and B&Q`s and MFI`s. I indeed laugh in the face of DBA`s as anyone who can write and stand is capable of compiling one if he or she knows where the SMR/Records office is.
My main concern is what the company expects, nothing less, than blood sweat and tears I suspect.
As for cakes lot of fat feild archaeologists out there, which is surprising considering the arobic nature of digging. Perhaps I will bring rice cakes instead.
As for bringing some good to the proffesion from my role, I found your remark most patronising, what I ment was that when I would be on site and with the usual clean Hi-Vi brigade I would listen to what the archaeologist had to say rarther than the ill informed ivor tower brigade. So there Doc put that in yer pipe and smoke it...
