I have lost count of the number of times we have been given training and most of the people involved have whinged about having to attend this training because it was not the training they wanted or was not glamorous enough. It's almost as if a lot of people just do not want to be happy!
Tell me about it. It was the first "official" training I'd had in 3 years in the business, and was really useful - (I'd never seen neolithic or bronze age pottery before that point). It might not have been the most "exciting" training in world , but damn useful and full marks to the unit for looking to provide training for their site staff.
Hell, I've just completed 2 weeks processing samples in the environmental warehouse. Glamarous? No. Most peeps I know would see it as a punishment. BUT, I have had a lot of fun and have taken the opportunity to learn more about enviro archaeology and how the process works. Hoping my on-site sample sheets now improve as a result.:face-approve:
