OT: I am now a valuable member of the workforce! |
I am now an employee.
There is this farm about two miles away from my house. My
grandparents know the people (they farm on their land, after all) and
got me a job. I have no idea what the hell they want me to do, though.
Probably pick... stuff. Oh, well. Gets me a little exercise, though.
P.S. I am aware of the crosspost. Act nice, boys and girls.

Congrats, man! Now don't go and spend all your new money on games! ;)
I'm searching for a job right now, and it really sucks being unemployed.
I've got a graduate degree in biotech, and I'm looking for pharmaceutical
jobs, but it's a tough market right now in my region. But you know what,
I've discovered a whole bunch of bargain bin games that have blown me away
(Beyond Good & Evil, Freedom Fighters, Metal Arms, etc.), and I never would
have played them if I'd had the money for other new titles that are on my
wishlist. So, it's not totally a bad thing. ;)

Congrats. Yes, the sweet smell of a barnyard. Picking stuff can be hard
work. But messing around with udders can be dangerous.
Um. I should check to see if there are any birds called udders. When
ever there are mammary glands discussed we seem to get unsolicited
images of birds.

Welcome to the workforce!
I remember my first job.. I was a gravedigger. The backhoe did the
rough work, the we went in and shaped the hole. Hard, back-breaking
work. After a few months, I was judged ready to be put on a funeral
crew, actually lowering caskets into the ground.
After a year of that, I hit basic training able to do nearly 100
push-ups.

Welcome to the workforce!
I remember my first job..
I was a ***** shoveler/horse washer at a horse-drawn carriage company
downtown. I was 100 pounds and leading around 2000 pound Belgian
horses. I loved that job! When I turned 18 I even got to drive the
carriages!
Congrats Daniel!

I dug holes, you shovel horse carp, and you're the one saying "eeww"?
It's not like I had to wrestel the bodies into the holes!
Though I did have a corpse sit up on me one night....

I dug holes, you shoveled horse crap, and you're the one saying "eeww"?
It's not like I had to wrestle the bodies into the holes!

Yikes! Details! :)
If a body is unembalmed, or incorrectly embalmed, muscles can contract
as decomposition sets in. This can result in sudden movements by a
dead body. This almost never happens, since embalming is done by
professionals. But...
The body was of a fifty-ish year old man who had died in a car
accident. He wasn't wearing a seat belt, and went through the
windshield. Ick. What's worse, the family insisted on an open casket
funeral. Our chief funeral technician was trying to rebuild the guy's
face. He had been embalmed at the funeral home before being sent to us
(they ran out of space, and wanted us to finish the job. Pretty
common.)
Well, along with digging holes, I also did grunt work. Mopping,
vacuuming, the like. My boss was a veteran, and knew I was enlisting.
(He threw me a great going away party, BTW) So I'm mopping the prep
room, where we keep the bodies we're either prepping for burial or for
cremation. The techs are taking their break, so it's only me.. and a
shredded body. By this time, bodies didn't freak me.
Then I hear a creaking noise. I turn around.. and see the body
sitting up! The farking thing is SITTING UP AND LOOKING AT ME!!!!
(with the one eye it has...)
Know those cartoons where a character goes through a wall and leaves a
perfect outline hole? That was me. I screamed like a girl (I swear,
my voice changed back to pre-puberty levels) and I flew out of that
room. Evidently I was white as a sheet. Once I managed to breathe, I
told the techs what had happened,, and they started laughing. That's
when I learned about improper embalming.
Oh, we finally convinced the family to go with a closed casket
ceremony.. by bringing in the eldest son and showing him what dad
looked like.
We also had a body explode in the crematorium oven. Died of alcohol
poisoning, y'see...

Not really. Once it was explained, and we went back into the prep
(the body had toppled off the table) it became just another body.

Not common, since it did a hell of a lot of damage. Not a really big
mess, but we couldn't use one of the ovens for weeks.

They had to cut the abdominal muscles, but yeah.
Eeeeeewwwww!
Sorry :) I love horror movies, but the "real" stuff kinda gets to me.
We also had a body explode in the crematorium oven. Died of alcohol
poisoning, y'see...
ACK! Is that common? And was it a big..............mess? Oh my ;p
Not common, since it did a hell of a lot of damage. Not a really big
mess, but we couldn't use one of the ovens for weeks.
I'll be sure to keep in mind not to go on a bender before I shuffle off my
mortal coil as cremation is the way I want to go ;)

Great Lord Robibnikoff <nospam@newsranger.com>, braving the raging
storm, scaled the mighty crag called alt.atheism on Wed, 16 Jun 2004
18:36:46 GMT and screamed this to the uncaring Gods.
Then I hear a creaking noise. I turn around.. and see the body
sitting up! The farking thing is SITTING UP AND LOOKING AT ME!!!!
(with the one eye it has...)
Holy crap!! I would have had SUCH a cow!
Pretty good description of the event, yes...
Know those cartoons where a character goes through a wall and leaves a
perfect outline hole? That was me. I screamed like a girl (I swear,
my voice changed back to pre-puberty levels) and I flew out of that
room. Evidently I was white as a sheet. Once I managed to breathe, I
told the techs what had happened,, and they started laughing. That's
when I learned about improper embalming.
Wow. Did you end up having nightmares about this afterwards?
Not really. Once it was explained, and we went back into the prep
(the body had toppled off the table) it became just another body.
Whew, good. I'm sure that image probably stuck in your head for a while
anyway.
Oh, we finally convinced the family to go with a closed casket
ceremony.. by bringing in the eldest son and showing him what dad
looked like.
Oh barf. I'm assuming you'd gotten the old guy to lay back down on the
table at
this point ;)

One day in alt.atheism, Also Sprach Daniel Kolle:
I am now an employee.
There is this farm about two miles away from my house. My
grandparents know the people (they farm on their land, after all) and
got me a job. I have no idea what the hell they want me to do, though.
Probably pick... stuff. Oh, well. Gets me a little exercise, though.
There's nothing wrong with a little honest work. Way to go!
