This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I know someone that did this in Fort William just last year, and Edinburgh this. I'm not saying it is easy, and this is just annecdata. But it does still work. Requires a cheery disposition I will add too, and less ageism

Historic Environment Scotland is doing hiring rounds right now for Edinburgh based positions. Heard through a friend's brother. I'll see if I can find the link.

Found the link, but looks like the "not much skill required" jobs have been filled.
Know HES gets a pretty bad wrap with all the (warranted) negative press, but I know a few folk who work there and it sounds like a reasonably decent employer, and bottom grade pays better than minimum wage. 🤷
