the Archaeologist's adventures

looking over, the Archaeologist saw that some of her fellow diggers had found 'it'. there they were, looking ecstatically at their 1x1 plot, smiling. they'd dug, and they'd found. the Archaeologist looked down at her plot. still empty. yet she'd been digging with so much care. some of the others, she knew, were not really being precise about it. to her it seemed like they were just children playing with trowels for fun. like Archaeology wasn't serious. it seemed so unfair that she, who had studied hard to become what she was, should be denied her 'holy grail', when these amateurs had found their happiness. was she simply on the wrong plot?
