that's really cool, how come you jacked in the archaelogy, all puns aside?
I guess it's not as much like being Indiana Jones as one would like to think. Although you probably do have a whip.

I couldn't be a lecturer, I like my work to involve as few other people as possible. My CV says "works well in a team", just one of the many lies.

There really were limited options in archaeology.
I was working on rescue excavations all round the country. No sick pay, no holiday pay, no union. To get job security you needed to specialise so I decided to specialise in computers.

I love archaeology. My research still includes it but I don't get to dig much any more and I miss that.

I am actually astonished at how my happiness now depends on someone's bowel movements.
Not quite at scat level yet though.

You've been on mumsnet haven't you.
Have you been unreasonable by having sex while the baby is in the room?

Good lord, I don't have to have sex for at least another two months!

I'm sure Catface is glad to know you keep a close eye on his movements.
How is the little fuzzy one? And how is the baby?

Worryingly, I have become really fucking hormonally pathetic since giving birth.
I do not like this weak, placid state. I watch the news and it's horrible and people are mean or dying or both and I feel an overwhelming urge to protect my child from the awful world. I want my cynicism back.

Alternatively, I would like a news channel devoted entirely to penguins. Happy news. Headlines like "today, a penguin was rescued by a puppy" - and then there'd be a montage of penguins and puppies and Jon Snow smiling happily at the camera. I could raise a child in that world.
