Good morning, Ms. Snippy!

I have a co-worker who retired as a Mortuary Affairs Specialist, he worked out of Hawaii for several years. Even though he's a full-timer here, he still works with two local mortuaries.

His job is to go to homes...man, this is tough to describe...I don't know how he does it...he is part of the team that picks up loved ones after they've died...part of his job is to comfort grieving family members as he prepares to take the deceased to the mortuary.

It takes a lot of compassion and sensitivity...

Morning HiJinx.

I could never do that job, I'd always feel so helpless in that situation.
