PSA: If you bring a (new, unused) wig to the mortuary for your loved one to wear for their funeral, we WILL all be trying it on behind the scenes.
this could not be more true. although around here it usually doesn’t matter if it’s new and unused, but it helps.
thanks! i don’t ever post full pictures of my actual job area (other than maybe an essentially unidentifiable flash of brick wall, carpet, or floor tile since it’s a public place) out of respect for the families we service and other people i work with, and i remain pretty anonymous on here, but here’s a photo from my apartment above the funeral home where funeralsauce gets made:
much more fun stuff gets made at that working area than my real working area where i mostly spend my day filling out paperwork. nobody wants to see that!
Body found in hotel water tank
Los Angeles (CNN) — Tourists staying at a Los Angeles hotel bathed, brushed teeth and drank water from a tank in which a young woman’s body was likely decomposing for more than two weeks, police said.
Elisa Lam’s corpse was found in the Cecil Hotel’s rooftop water tank by a maintenance worker who was trying to figure out why the water pressure was low Tuesday.
Lam’s parents reported her missing in early February. The last sighting of her was in the hotel on January 31, Los Angeles Police said.
Detectives are now investigating the 21-year-old Canadian’s suspicious death, police Sgt. Rudy Lopez said.
It was not clear whether the water presented any health risks to those who consumed it. Results on tests on the water done Wednesday by the Los Angeles Public Health Department were expected later in the day.
The hotel management has not responded to CNN requests for comment. Video appears to show four cisterns on the hotel roof.
People who stayed at the Cecil since Lam’s disappearance expressed shock about developments.
“The water did have a funny taste,” Sabrina Baugh told CNN on Wednesday. She and her husband used the water for eight days. “We never thought anything of it,” the British woman said.
“We thought it was just the way it was here.”
What she described was not normal.
“The shower was awful,” she said. “When you turned the tap on, the water was coming black first for two seconds and then it was going back to normal.”
The hotel remained open after the discovery, but guests checking in Tuesday were told not to drink it, according to Qui Nguyen, who decided to find a new hotel Wednesday.
Nguyen said he learned about the body from a CNN reporter, not the hotel staff.
ahhhhhhh can you imagine. i was watching a video on another site (and there’s some videos at the source link that i didn’t watch, so they may show it there) where she was security camera footage of her in and out of the elevators right before she died, poking her head out like she was looking for someone following her. really eerie stuff.
thanks!
here’s a few things I love that make me happy:
the smell of copier toner after you make a bunch of copies
that picture of mariska hargitay feeding her child a corn cob
fried eggs on burgers and pizzas
when old people say “davenport” instead of “couch”
…and all of yooooooou!!!!
sitting here at the doctor’s office waiting for a death certificate to get signed, and I looked down and realized I’ve been talking to people with dried snot all over my coat all morning.
see, I was sitting in the car earlier in a parking lot and sneezed three times and didn’t have a tissue, then someone pulled up next to me, and they didn’t get out of their car FOREVER, and I didn’t want them to see me going at my face with my bare hands, so after a while I eventually just forgot about it and drove away and wiped it after it dried, then sanitized my hands.
HOWEVER, I forgot to get it off my coat, as I sneezed into the crook of my arm as recommended by the CDC, so my coat was pretty much covered.
in other monday morning work news, why am I even posting about this?
EDIT: this post is really just for the FS shoe and sneeze fetish community. I know you’re out there. I got your back.
i did a home removal today and this lady kept screaming in the house:
“WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO NOW??”
“WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO NOW??”

Happy Valentines Day…. by *jaded-ink
dug back into my gallery a bit for this one from last year. Happy Valentines Day to all of you.
too lazy and had too long of a day to make anything for you all for valentine’s day, so here’s something lovely that someone else made. I picked up a man today that was dead in his house for something like 10 months, so nobody should feel lonely today because none of us have anything on that guy.
whooooo wants to be my valentineee??
