I loved working in Archaeology, but when i couldn't find work, like you i ended up in the book side of things! I now supervise book shops! I miss digging sometimes though, especially when i'm dealing with crabby customers! like Ozeed i sometimes wish they were dead too! i still love watching programmes on tv about archaeology. its my nostalgia!

but I thought you were in airports?! Yes but the no job thing is why my mum said I wasnt going and if I did she wouldnt pay the school fees as I would be 'wasting my time and money'

Hey Niamh:

An archeologist was slowly digging his way into a recently discovered tomb in the Valley of the Kings. As the digging was producing results, he grew excited, and worked long into the night by torchlight. Finally the batteries on his torch ran out, just as he found the entrance to the tomb. Spotting an old wooden torch by moonlight, he dug through his pockets for a match. Suddenly a hand appeared and lit the torch for him. “Gee, thank you, buddy. I couldn’t see anything in here!” “No problem.” The Mummy said. “You woke me up with your confounded digging anyway!”

I am in the airport. I now supervise 5 bookshops in the Airport in dublin. I took the job because i needed money badly! was unemployed for three months by that point. Here almost two years now. It's not wasting time though. In Britain the archaeology structure is different to here. Over here your contract ends with a company if they have no work for you and you end up unemployed until you find another company to hire you. In britain most of the time they'll keep you on but sub hire you to another company until they get more work of you.

Pendragon thats a funny joke. never heard that one before. here another archaeology joke (a very lame one though!)

there were two archaeology features on a site. one turned to the other and cried ' Here comes an Archaeolgist! Act natural!'

I have always wanted to work in a bookshop! It is certainly the best place to get discounts

[Niamh]

I get a 30% discount. Bye bye wages!

30% is great! But I can imagine how one's wallet could be drained by the other 70% if a bibliophile

[Niamh]

Well i've certainly up'd my personal library at home since i started working there! I even have some books that i bought that i havent read yet!

Puh-lease, Drama, don't take my name in vain!

I do the same, I do the same! It's very naughty really but probably my greatest guilty pleasure

haha sorry about that Pen!

This is also one of my vices. I'm addicted to buying books, even though I know I won't have time to read them. There is only so much that one can read, but a good book makes one salivate and desire it.

[Koa]

I have PILES of books that I bought to read 'one day'...I'm starting to prevent myself from buying them though.

[Niamh]

I always end up picking up the books i've already read instead of the ones i bought hadnt read yet. I think its a sickness!

[mir]

No, I do the same thing, niamh!

[Niamh]

Maybe i should make it my new years resolution: Read the books i spent well earned money on and never read!

[Schokokeks]

I wish I had your problems (or all your unread books ). I'm almost always so short of money that I depend on the books library has to offer (read: none published after WWII) .
