Embalmer? I'm not insecure about what I do or what other people assume of me when I tell them. I'm also not going to lie about it if someone asks me about my profession or passion. It just seems that a lot of people are uncomfortable about it. More often, they think I'm joking. Yeah, I've had a lot of potential relationships crash because of this.
Would you be...
Would you be...
But, hmm, an embalmer. Are you really? I mean really really?
I'm all excited now! We have an embalmer on IIN! :D
I doubt that would have any influence over my affection for a person. It would certainly be a talking point and I imagine my morbid curiosity would overtake my sense of conversational etiquette and you'd have an incessant torrent of questions culminating in my request to visit your place of work and see a dead person fo' real!
OP, what made you want to become an embalmer?
I'm sort of glad about that. There's something a bit disturbing to me about the way they dress them up, put make-up on them and wheel them out. I think it's better to just remember them how they were when they were alive, not in a taxidermic clown state. Not to detract from what you do, obviously many families want open casket funerals and you clearly get some satisfaction out of it :)
It's just something I find strange and undignified. But that's probably because it's not so much a part of my culture. I wouldn't find any comfort in seeing the dead body of a loved one.
Your career doesn't say much about you as a person, in your case I'd render it as smart as I've read a study where 7/100 people would be in a funeral-embalming-or medical examining career, which means their in need, which means they pay.
That Bleached white hair and black wardrobe was irresistible:D
