Mortuary Groups Have A Surprising Amount of Drama

 There was some MORTUARY TEA today.

I'm in a FB group for young morticians which is usually mild with the occasional meme or debate. However, today someone bragged that they were blazed while performing a home removal.
For reference, that is when someone dies at home and you have to cart out Meemaw's body while the whole family watches. It's awkward, usually has stairs involved, and sometimes Meemaw poops or bleeds or vomits or tries to take a tumble if she's very heavy. Not really something to be high for.

I genuinely don't mind weed, smoke it if you got it, but going to work where you deal with fragile human remains while intoxicated? Recipe for disaster. I really can't believe she put that in a public forum like Facebook. Anyways once that received backlash she deleted and left. Aiiiiiye.

I bought a 401a Slant-O-Matic from Ebay that's in good (tested) working condition. It's from the late 50s and kind of ugly, but I'm honestly extremely excited for it to arrive. It should, on August 4th -- I can't wait to absolutely destroy the beautiful fabric I own.

Speaking of fabric, Alex's mom has three tubs of fabric that she used and she's letting me dig through! Yay! I can't wait to potentially ruin it!

I hope the family didn't notice either. It's so sad that some people don't think about how their actions affect others (in this case, the family and other young mortuary workers). As you said, it's already difficult for younger folks to get any sort of respect, and it sucks when someone like this makes it harder.
