A bit on the close side but hey you don't need the room to move around

Well its friday for me again (happy dance) thursday for the rest of you -- sorry
although it is a sad & happy thing
Why? you ask
Because the summer term starts next week and it is the last weekend that I won't be working a lot of extra hours
My class only meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays but it makes for really long days working
Guestbook stuff
Thanks to
The book girl for signing in and giving the feed back to my remarks -- you should check out Col. Chebert (movie) it is really good
Man yesterdays entry was a bit long sorry about that if you read all the way to the bottom.
Have you watched that new thing on HBO "six feet under"
Is that a cool show
I worked one summer in a funeral home -- it is kinda odd watching the show and seeing the things that they put in that actually happen in those places
one thing was sleeping in a coffin --
I did that --
In case you never get the opportunity to climb in one while you can still climb back out -- they are really plush - a bit on the close side but hey you don't need the room to move around
picking up -- man that is creepy the first few times
driving around with someone with you that isn't with you.
Especially if you hear the body shift -- you are just sure that the person is going to sit up and start talking to you or killing you or something like that from the horror movies
I never worked on the people -- you can't do it if you aren't qualified -- school and license -- I don't know if I could do that
the oddest thing I did there was one day we had just a burial no service -- the family lived away from the area I lived in and the family member who had passed wanted to be buried where she grew up -- so the service was elsewhere and then we picked up and then did a burial --
Well when we get to the site -- we dont have any tools to close the vault -- this one was a wooden vault which had to have the lid screwed down -- well after we lowered the coffin and then the lid -- I had to jump down in the grave and screw on the lid -- Im not sure why I got picked for that -- I think I was the only one willing to do it -- well I had to use dimes and pennies to screw on the lid because we forgot the tool box -- I dropped several of them something like 20 or 30 cent
Anyway that was probably the oddest thing that happened
The strangest job I had was pin setter in a bowling alley -- before they had the machines to do it -- well they had machines I just lived in BFE and they didn't have them yet --
so there were 5 to 8 kids in the back that sat up on this wall
mainly in the dark and waited for the ball to be thrown down the lane
then you jump down in the pit
lower the frame to grab the standing pins
raise the frame to pull any pins out of the way that had fallen but not into the pit lower the frame release the remaining pins and return the ball get back on the wall
then after the second ball jump down reset all the pins and return the ball
Of course there would always be some jag off that would roll another ball down the lane while you were down off the wall -- one kid got hit by the ball and it broke his arm -- I never got hurt but I did get a few balls rolled down at me
All in all that was a really fun job and how many people can say they were a pin setter
Ok here is the new game for the guest book -- what is the strangest job you have ever held.
Well I hope everyone has a great weekend -- I really should get online at home then I could do daily updates
