I work in North Sydney. The homeless people here are nicer than in the city.

@Helen – that is beyond awful. Did they take photos?

Good story chick, although less Ramero-esque than I might have expected. A mate of mine used to work as an undertaker in Coffs Harbour, and he reckons once some obese loner carked it, and no-one noticed for days (asssuming time in Coffs Harbour moves at a comparable pace to the rest of the world, which is unlikely). Anyway, he and a co-worker went to pick up the body, and they had to yell to hear over the buzz of flies. The guy was so enormous that with one bloke hefting the shoulders, and my friend heaving the legs, they still couldn’t carry him. So Mick went, ‘bugger this for a game of darts,’ and dropped the leg. POP! SPLASH! Skin split open, blood and congealed bodily-whatever all over the place, including on his face.

Before you scream ‘that’s all so irrelevant!’ – he filled out paperwork afterwards. Ha! xo

@Manda – hehe I think you might be right!

@Tip – actually I lied. I’ve been back once to do a photoshop course, and once more for a client meeting. Those are the only times though.

@Zac – yeah it’s pretty much the worst place to work in Sydney.

Lucky you not having returned to North Sydney. How do you manage that?

I currently work in North Sydney, but I used to work at Glebe Morgue.

You + Me = BFF. I am not letting go of this dream!
