Ain't shit here I want or need. Except a nice discount if one of my parents - or both - die. Or I do.

Pretty much. It's a combination of I actually have nothing to do, and what I do have to do is boring and takes me about five minutes.

I have actually cried here, from sheer frustration and boredom.

If work blocks Netflix (watch it now!) I will be totally screwed.

G'morning Gang!!

Well today is the first day back to a "normal" routine..hahhaa

Ya, I gotta WORK...four letter word!

This week is the first week of getting some hours for the Halloween store. I still dont know why after 7 yrs of working for this dude, he wont listen to me and Velvetina and do a small scale store yr round...Burners love that place!
I know I do!~

Ok...ya, not exactly work, more like play with large empty spaces of boredom.

This weekend we worked on the green house...I swear some projects refuse to be done...what is it with this green house???? Every time we go out there and do stuff ...it wants more! ok...maybe because we're not working 12 hr shift to get r done...hahahaaaaa

Did put the outdoor thermometer in the green house yesterday...80 degrees outside and 92 inside! woah!


CHEESE DOODLES for Da Mule...Oh and frick...Da Mule it was in the camper the whole time damnit!!!!

Negative. But, back when I was considering it as a career for myself, I had all sorts of plans to market to the drag community. Yes, "Putting the fun in funeral" was going to be one of my business card lines.

OMG, back when I went to cosmetology college, one of the direction I thought about going was the "funeral parlor Make up dept."
But then I went ....ewwwwww

Ended up working for commercesteins instead.

Best thing he ever did.

He does tableaus of people from their real life.

"We had a gangster tagging a dumpster.
It was so good, they came back and shot him again."

"I get sued a lot."

"Funeral Director: [disappointed] A Box, you want a box. You want the Number Three Package, with the Blue suit, the Hillview Plot, Pachelbel's Canon in D on Organ, with the Stargazer Lillies, and a card with the Twenty-Third psalm on it."


The best thing about that particular show may actually be the exploration of internet friendship.

It's a freaking good racket. Talk about job security...even just working part-time.

If they actually went to Burning Man, I would have loved to be on that greeters shift.

How about a celebratory cake, then?
