I'm a recent geology/paleontology grad,
That said, of all things, the Blood Gutter stuck out to me. It's a cool mental image, but impractical in real life. In the osteology lab, we had raised metal dissection tables with a drain at one end, which was connected to a bucket. That way, you don't get blood and stuff slopping onto the floor, and you can dispose of it easily. Then again, we're only responsible for feeding a dermestid colony, and not an eldritch horror. It could be a little easier, if much less hygienic, for the monks to just let blood splash onto the floor.
I may be applying for government work in the future, depending on what opens up and whether or not I can find something local. I'm a recent geology/paleontology grad, so I'm trying to find something that actually makes use of my education without taking a swan dive into the Dark Side (oil & gas/mining).
It makes finding Federal job openings and applying for them LOT easier (you can even set up searches and have matching jobs emailed to you when they open). There are several agencies that have positions where a geologist could use their education, and a few more where a paleontologist can as well (so long as you're willing to work in a museum kind of environment). Granted - applying for government employment has its own frustrations (as does actually working it) but it is another avenue to hopefully find a good job that's a good fit
