First of all, I'm all moved into my new apartment. With that minor headache behind me I can move onward more easily with other issues.
Things have progressed considerably faster than I ever would have suspected just a couple of months ago. I've already passed along that I won't be doing the ShovelBum thing afterall since I've been offered a full-time position on the IPFW Archaeological Survey staff.
Though relatively temporary, that position was to have lasted me until well into winter.
Well, not any more ...
My first weekend in Strawtown saw another twist thrown into the mix. The latest development is as follows ...
Starting Monday I will be back down in Greenwood working with the IPFW-AS crew on the Mt Auburn cemetery project. Not sure how long that is going to last at this point. Current speculation has it at 3 weeks but that is quite subject to change. INDOT still has issues to resolve and questions to answer before the final determination can be made.
But, once that project is complete, the IPFW-AS staff is cutting me loose to pursue other prospects. Prospects that they, themselves, have put into place for me.
My new home, immediately following completion of the cemetery project will be with Gray and Pape Cultural Resource Consultants. This is a regional CRM (Cultural Resource Management) firm that does a lot of work in Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky. I will be working out of their Bloomington, Indiana Office for the time being.
The first project I will be working on with them is a major water pipeline project that will have me staying in the vicinity of Santa Claus, Indiana for the rest of the year; maybe longer. After that, I'm told, there will be a couple of smaller projects that I can take part in as well.
Beyond that, it is far too early to say. I may be able to continue on with G & P; maybe not. If not, there will be other, similar firms with whom I will have established contact with by that time.
Even with all these rapid-fire changes going on, all is right with the world. :D
