not this ifa course
My moral dilemma is that I am cheaper by miles ? Should I charge more or even as much as the others so that it would make it somehow fair...... get out of that without moving...
hosty your subsidy from some other income source sounds vmc but why question it, your model sounds fantastic, ?pension included.... your diggers must be living five star?..good for you- I cant afford diggers, all mine have to be partners who hold on to their copyright and it all gets so complicated... nobody understands whats going on
Congrats on the two income streams you lucky devil archaeology- mines ice cold freshly squeezed lemonade- see you at Glastonbury for the mud folks-the jet stream is still down around Spain
You interested in going on this course, are you recommending it, wish that it had been around in your day, nudge nudge, do you, want to see a picture of your..
Wrong answer
I think what went on at this ppg invoked tender process is that the government sado had to get three quotes (based on some pension grabbers wet dream of the eu tendering/council process but already had a preferred archaeologist (the same archaeological consultant who had reminded them that they needed three quotes for best gov. practise).
I should have worked the situation out(anything to do with council, uni, enviro agency etc...gov -when I picked up the phone asked to be paid expenses to quote (this is a lesson to all you budding archaeologist that the ifa should back up) (expenses =holiday in Barbados whats the recomended ifa rate?).
Then just to make it interesting (sorry preferred archaeologist) I should have bid beyond cheap, to get my foot on the plot, around a model where I did ?all- the digging- because there is still a simple gamble that there is nothing there). In an evaluation where, with anybody worth their salt (that?s a very old Roman saying), all the gamble is obviously exposed when/after the trenches are opened up (so why dig anymore)- I suspect that the others still went with a second team. I should have structured an un-digging one-day rate (me) until the trenches were open. If you trusted the digger driver (3oo mil top soil strip) (you will love this) you can turn up the next day and peep over the side and start the waffle (especially if turns out that the top soil was 400mil deep) and if you?re my dream person you are the digger driver.
Yes I have copyright in spades, It worth billio until it matters (don?t tell the clients or those idiots in the town hall)??.
By the way, I did not win the contract and as I understand it from my spies there was nothing there but the client who is my real enemy-thinks that they will get away with other areas of the site-we will see
an adequate report on the assemblage
your right sod them and their family

if you think you are just there to make up numbers... don't tender..
