Oh lovely.. I am glad you and your team are useful, and the museums that are closing are useful, and the collapse of companies were useful, and the CBA admitting they will have funding cuts, and the 32% cut to EH ....need I go on.... I did not say we were useless, I merely point out - as Carver does, that we must make a concerted effort to make ourselves useful.. invaluable etc... to more than just ourselves. as he said... with his quote about the embalmers guild. Nobody owes us a job... what is our purpose. And it is already happening... I could probably replace you and your job from here... without leaving my room, - would it be as good as you? well of course not... would it meet minimum requirements... I am afraid, as it stands... yes it would. Unless we.. and that is us all, stop acting like a bunch of petulant children, more concerned with point scoring and picking at 'the others' If I was in government just now, and saw your comments, I would have little sympathy - so far you can complain but can't articulate one good thing about what you do. Sit down, take a deep breath, and work out... why am I needed? What makes us needed.. and this has to go beyond, because its law ... as that ends with the words AT THE MOMENT --- IF academe and commercial and public and Council and NAtional groups could actually present a united front... well, who knows... we may not be in the mess we are now.
Blame everyone but ourselves. Classic! :face-approve:
ps your comment about
A more positive way of looking at it, is to say... yes thats true, and we also have to look at wys to improve some university work as well. But by working in cooperation.

ps your comment about
Quote:poor quality mitigation excavations implies that the excavations undertaken outside this context (university excavations etc) are uniformly excellentmisses the point so much I am stunned... You are the one that creates that implication. and in doing so, somehow justify poor mitigation excavation. Or perhaps that is perfect already?
