Well, it certainly has been awhile, hasn't it?

So much going on here.  Work has been keeping me so busy.  The SO is getting ready to come home next month on his R&R leave, and I have a new roommate.  V is a co-worker and fellow archy.  She's a seasonal but will be onboard until next March.  We are both similar in many ways as far as likes and ( Read more... )

Wow!  It's been over a month since I last checked in.  I've just been sooo busy with work; I am actually back in the field!!  Oh, but the days have been so long that I'm racking up quite a lot of credit hours.

Whew, so tired,  But it's a good tired, I'm happy to be back out in the woods; we're finding stuff and while M can test my patience every now ( Read more... )

Been away from LJ for awhile.

Haven't really had a lot on my mind that I wanted to write down.  Everything's so-so, so nothing all that exciting I guess...  Well, I did get to go to another district last week and work.  It was nice seeing that part of the forest, albeit only a small portion of it, due to the high amount of snow still lingering ( Read more... )

I am on board for another year here.  My boss told me this morning that she was working on my extension.  Well, well.

At least it keeps me stable here for at least for another year.   Oooh Rah.

And co-worker O got the term position on the district in Douglas!  I'm really happy for him, he deserves it; he's a really good guy, but I'll be sad to see ( Read more... )

This morning my boss came by my desk asking for information about an old townsite at the locale of one of our summer home groups.  I had no information to give her except for the cabins that are there now, and that two of them might be remnants of the old townsite (which existed for tie hackers who worked for the Union Pacific Railroad during the ( Read more... )

I got a very positive email from one of the district archs today.  This was in reference to the report on the Steamboat Front Project that I finished last week (the project that I went down to Steamboat Springs to help out on).  I sent him the 54 page draft of it for his review and comments.  While he made a few edits regarding two site's ( Read more... )

Today I was thinking about my job while perusing the archaeologyfieldwork.com website; no, I'm not thinking of changing jobs, I was just looking at what others were saying about our field.

One thread on the boards was about working for the Forest Service (which caught my eye of course), so I decided to check that out.  While it was filled with ( Read more... )

Well, it's done.  I'm finally considered a home owner.  Or rather, a home buyer.  We finally closed on the house today, and I had to sign for the SO since he's already enroute to Ft. Drum.  He stopped in PA for a pit stop and visit with his parents.

I have the whole house to myself and the kitties.  A house full of boxes to unpack.  Such fun!

Well, ( Read more... )

I just got the Best News evar!

HRC down in Albuquerque called and offered me the term position on the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forests!  They also administer the Thunder Basin National Grassland in eastern WY!

I AM SOOO EXCITED!!!

I was secretly hoping that I got this Forest because of where its at (I will be based at Laramie).  I never lived in ( Read more... )
