Folks,
I do not normally like to use ShovelBums for non-jobs announcements, but this particular issue really struck a chord with me and I think it will with you too. And heck its Sunday and you are checking your mail so its not like you have anything pressing right now anyway. :-)
Below is a link to Kristina Wyckoff's petition to support Spike TV not airing the show "American Diggers": a show which will glamorize, encourage and facilitate the looting of artifacts purely for commercial gain. This show is effectively a three step guide for private landowners to become pothunters: Dig, Appraise, Sell. To the average landowner, that is going to sound like a promising way to make some cash in these lean times. Part of our obligation is to educate society on the benefit of responsibly protecting its cultural resources. Stopping this show is not a step forward in this education, but it will prevent so much of the positive work we have all done from taking a massive step back.
Kristina's petition is currently at 4,627 of 5,000 requested signatures (up from 800 yesterday AM). Please take a moment to sign the petition and distribute/share this link widely by e-mail or social media sites. It will take less time then it takes to have two big swigs of beer. So set your mug down and lets help Kristina to exceed her goal!

The most important aspect of this list is that it is for one purpose only.: announcing jobs/non paying volunteer postings in the international CRM field at all levels; Field Tech, Professors, SHPO�s, etc... Caveat Emptor though my friends. Not all jobs pay the same, nor is their treatment of employees the same - as the companies are checking your references, you should also check them out - make sure they pay fair wages, treat their employees professionally, and do quality work. If you have at least a BA you deserve fair remuneration, so ask for it, and in turn you provide your employer with excellent service. You ARE a trained professional, NOT a "shovelbum" - the name is in jest - act professional, expect to be treated like one.
