And I Thought My Night Job Was Bad…



I was searching for a job for the hours of 8am-12pm so I could get a little extra money to pay for an apartment, gas, clothes, entertainment, you get the idea. I decided to take a look at a local job search site thinking perhaps one of the temporary agencies had something. Then I read it. The job to end all jobs:

Night Receptionist (all-night) eval/Hire
Working at funeral home nights; answering phones in professional manner, dispatch drivers for night-time pick-ups of the deceased. Must have good customer service attitude; sense of urgency. Will work weeknights and weekends as well. $8/hr.

I’m curious as to why the employee would need a sense of urgency. He and or she would be dispatching drivers to pick up dead people. Since when are dead people in such a hurry? What’s become of this world?

    I don’t think the dead people are in a hurry. I think the people sitting with the body might be.
    Thursday Thirteen has come to an end.
    I have enjoyed my visits here and consider us friends.
    Thank you for sharing your thirteens with me.

    You would probably want to hurry with them anyway. I bet they don’t smell too good.

    Valid points. I knew a guy who was a funeral director. Ick. The things he probably saw. I couldn’t do it.

    It’s all in what you are used to seeing on what gets you freaked out. I’ve seen enough now that not much bothers me. But I agree dead people a priority? Well it’s not like they are going anywhere per say.

    I had another comment, but luckily I waited and thought a minute before I posted it, and that was good because now you will be spared it LOL
