The Usual

[jpegghost]

I got my mortuary law (blah), restorative art (yay!), and funeral management (blah) books. School is beginning, but ... Most of the course work is sort of interesting to me: Restorative Arts, Forensic Pathology, Embalming II... And Mortuary Law and Funeral Merchandising, which I'm not as interested in. 
But PATHOLOGY!
I got to study all about ballistics injuries and burns yesterday. I hate the teacher (she was my microbiology teacher last semester), but I love the subject so I guess we will find out?! Embalming labs will be in September in which I am genuinely very excited about.

Work was boring today, I did errands and stood in Office Depot for 20 minutes trying to find the right pen refills. Have you been in an Office Depot lately? It's barren. It's like the end days of the Roman Empire. I think there was one (1) employee there and he was on a computer. Not that I mind, I don't like talking to associates because I've lost the ability to speak to living people. Despite the pandemic, we had a day of no deaths so we just sort of did whatever at work. One of my coworkers watched the History channel lol.
My lovely upstairs neighbor is an EMT -- He's been telling me how bad it is in our hospitals, so I'm anticipating harsher weeks to come. I'm happy that the GOP convention was at least cancelled here, we can curb the tsunami my area is currently facing. I just spoke with a funeral buddy working in Beaumont, which is about a hour and a half away from us, and she's had 23 calls in 3 days.

In happier news, Alex and I are starting to more seriously look into homes. I'm very excited because we can have a place of our own to do whatever we want in! I already have my own apartment but it's pretty small and I'm tired of fighting people for visitor parking spots, and not having enough space for my rapidly expanding plant collection. Wow, our own little place! Just for us! 2020 is a nightmare year but it feels really nice that me and my boyfriend can rent a home together.

Alex and I ALSO unearthed some ancient artifact from the year 2005, which was a "Seme or Uke" quiz, in regards to yaoi manga I guess? Of course we wanted to know what we were and OF COURSE I ended up being the uke aka the twink...  This is mental duress.

Nothing really interesting has happened lately but I'm also exhausted and running at 40% most of the time. AGH.

Forensic pathology would be fascinating! Is it only one semester, or are there more levels of the class?

[jpegghost]

It's only one semester sadly!

It sounds like you'll be taking some really interesting classes this semester. Restorative Art and Forensic Pathology would be fascinating.

Also, yay for moving forward on looking for a house!

Restorative Art so far is interesting, and Forensic Pathology is fun. It's too bad it's all online, but oh well ;_; Thanks!

Be glad for the boring days at work, it sounds as if you aren't going to get many. Good luck with your new classes!

It's been pretty nice, yesterday we didn't have any deaths either (except direct cremations and ship outs) so a funeral director watched youtube all day and I spun around in my chair a lot and tried to organize my desk. It won't always be like this! I must enjoy it!
