Why This Must Be Read: Author's summary: The joys of being an archaeologist on the government payroll.

This gentle fic could be described as kind of an 'ups and downs of daily life' type of story. As we accompany him through a couple of days, both on and off-world, we see those things about Daniel's job and his life that frustrate him, others that are rewarding, plus those things he wishes were different and those he wouldn't change for the world (this world or any other). This is a calm, almost melodiously-written character story -- a joy to read.


He was still feeling crabby, for reasons he could not really identify. It was just that his working life was so....frustrating. He was never going to have the satisfaction of wiping that condescending smile off the face of the academic community.
