Jack started this thread as it was quiet on here. Purely to instigate a bit of a discussion (it obviously succeeded) :face-approve:.
Is it the word professionalism that is the problem here? Sometimes, it is possible to recognise those archaeologists that started off their working lives in another career rather than doing the uni thing then onto the circuit. Work ethics seem to have escaped being taught at uni! I did the uni thing later on and whilst there, was somewhat amazed that some students thought it was their right to be able to submit wok late. In my previous, non-archaeological life, I always turned up for work on time, for example, if it snowed the night before then it meant getting up even earlier to assess the road conditions. A wee bit more effort is needed by some people me thinks!
Would have done a longer post lunch is over
