I think a troll but if not, go for the mortuary job, trust me I know they are the best most interesting jobs going, gives you an odd slant on the world, but truthfully a great job, you tend to fear death less as you see it in it's quiet best and it's horrific worst, and can see it doesn't hurt, I loved going to the mortuary in my hospital years 18+ (official odd now arn't I?)
Death has to be dignified and in my years of having the key to drop in unannounced, I never saw anything but respect for the personal body.
On the other hand prepare yourself for off colour jokes, it is a coping mechanism. I am a nurse, but never would I say I was offended, both my Mum and Dad spent time in hospital mortuaries, but I felt they where safe, even thougH I knew they where just in a fridge, mortuary techs in my estimation are amazing people, I found them on unexpected visits still talking to the person, which come naturally when you are a nurse dealing with a patient you knew, but it takes a leap to do it to a body. No I think on the whole it is a great job.
and on the plus side no customer complaints.....that is the least off colour joke you will get.

You're so right.

I think I'm so unique and mysterious and God's gift to the world but that's me. In reality I'm so obvious and ordinary to all.

You have indeed missed something - don't worry. Sleep the sleep of the winner. It really wasn't much to miss.

If you're interested.

Us types aren't like lucky you types - No offence implied. It's just a fact of life.

Some of us just can't get it right no matter how hard we try. i honestly think it's a gene thing because all my sisters (3) are just as bad - despite them being so clever and more accomplished and having a better lifestyle than me.

Me being the eldest, everyone looks up to me and i just get so tired of it sometimes to the extent i can't do it any more.

I pray that you continue being a winner.

petunia 'Rhonda-always call yourself that when abroad-all the middle class welssschee wankers up there in Cardiff.'

Oh do fuck off you rambling idiot.

If you want to talk nonsense start your own thread instead of talking utter bollocks on other peoples.

Petunia12 · 17/03/2012 03:59

I don't know how to knock all the nonsense i posted off. Anyone know how you can delete rubbish before it gets published and you make thousands of people angry?

mumatron · 17/03/2012 04:06

The easy way is to think before you post.

If not report your own post and ask for it to be removed.

Mosschops that's quite a poker your H has up his ass. He sounds like a human hurricane coming home.

What has been going on in his life for the last month or so? Something is amiss.

mumatron · 17/03/2012 04:26

That actually made me laugh petunia, good one.

I'm sorry, I must have missed all your positive advice on this thread Hmm

mathanxiety · 17/03/2012 04:27

Petunia -- this is the bit you apparently misread:

'It wasn't done in a Poor Little Me way at all, I don't do Poor Little Me.
I do Don't Fucking Mess With Me quite well though'

MrsTerryPratchett · 17/03/2012 04:29

Is everyone on this thread actually OK? I don't want to report but I'm a bit worried. Specifically Petunia are you OK? Absolutely not being a bitch but do you need some RL support?

sheepgomeep · 17/03/2012 04:45

I have reported, something clearly wrong with petunia12. Troll or not, comments very unpleasant

MrsTerryPratchett · 17/03/2012 04:57

Cheers sheepgomeep. This thread went badly wrong somehow. I hope everyone is OK.

ohbugrit · 17/03/2012 05:08

Well this went a bit awry Confused

WMDinthekitchen · 17/03/2012 05:14

Hello Moss, I hope you get the job! In case not and in case you do consider the job in the mortuary, you might be interested in this - before you watch it, there are apparently some upsetting scenes www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01dd1gx

Perhaps you and DD could do something yourselves today while your H is surfing. Tell him you would like to do something for Mother's Day even if he does not believe in giving you anything can't be bothered because he is too busy surfing Restaurants are likely to be full for lunch but how about going out for breakfast, then doing something together, even if it's a walk in the rain? Good luck with the job hunting. Change the things you can (and that may not include your H).

mynewpassion · 17/03/2012 06:59

To be honest, if my partner said he wanted to work in a mortuary, I would've said 'Are your crazy? Keep applying for other jobs.'

Its much more tactful and nicer than your DH's response.

mosschops30 · 17/03/2012 10:05

Ha ha this thread has gone even more bonkers than me overnight Grin

just to clarify i am deffo not a troll and have been on MN with the same name since 2004.
Secondly all those comments didnt happen one after another, they were over the space of an hour.
Thirdly no dh us not usually a wanker, like most normal husbands he goes through spells of wankeryness, just like i go through spells of bitchyness.

Lastly the mortuary job isnt totally random, i already work in an area that deals with death every day (often more than one), i have also observed a PM. So its not like i work in an office and just said ooh i fancy working in a mortuary.
Anyway its not doo able as you have to have an additional qualification.

petunia i have no idea what to say to any of your posts! Hmm
