I think I'm suffering Post Tramatic Stress Disorder from the last dig. What a fucker that was, I can't even bring myself to do a recap of it. Suffice to say I busted my ass over ridges and quicksand, on a site that looked like a bomb had hit it (only bulldozers, I know, but it was TOTALED. The ridges were COMPLETELY stripped of not only the top soil but the A horizon, which is where all the artifacts live, so...THANKS GUYS.) and, oh, I put a RUSTY NAIL THROUGH MY WORK BOOT.
LUCKILY, because the boss is in Brazil (and may he suffer an uncomfortable and embarrassing illness from some sort of insect or water-carried what not...nothing LIFE THREATENING, just so his life is as shitty as Bill and mine were while we were digging at WP3) and we can't get a backhoe for the Bronx site without him around to wheel and deal with the developer, I haven't had work this week! Woohoo! My garden is going to be SO AWESOME this year. My tomatoes and peas and zucchini are GERMINATED!! I can't wait to plant them! *GLOMPS HER SEEDLINGS!!*
You know what, though? That dig last week was such a pain and misery I'm just going to start telling people what I WISHED had happened up there; that I found some sort of unspeakably evil artifact in the quicksand (SERIOUSLY, there was QUICKSAND, and it's terrifying stuff), which nearly jump started the Zommunist Revolution. Luckily, I was able to destroy it before my good friend Ian (A.K.A. Agent Barbarossa) could gloat.
Yes, that's my story, and I'm sticking by it.
