Quoted from tomson Yes you read right, for two weeks one summer in Sweden I was Pia the corpse washer. Worst job I ever had!

Sounds like a shocker. The worst job I had was working in an abattoir. The best was working in a night club; free booze and I "met" a lot of women.

I don't have a job. Right now I'm focusing on writing and filming.

Interpreter for the deaf at San Francisco court house.

-ONEY

I just quit my job.

I'm going to buy a horse, and a fancy gypsy wagon. I plan to travel around the U.S. with my moose dog, go places I've never been, and live off the land.




I can dream, right?

I'm a Local 80, Motion Picture Studio Grip in Los Angeles.  I pay my rent by working on sets, but it's definitely not enough.  I want to direct a film that I've written, and until then, I am empty.  

I spent a ton of money on film school, and it was great, but I didn't learn dick compared to what I've learned in the harsh, real world of films, commercials, and music videos.  Oh yeah, and maybe a porn.

Hollywood is a monster...  Be careful of what you wish for.  

Quoted from tomson ...for two weeks one summer in Sweden I was Pia the corpse washer.

Damn...does this broad have some history or what...?

I think a thread like this already exists, but what the hell -- any thread with a "corpse washer" in it should be allowed to live.

Guess I should contribute while I'm here.

I am a biochemistry grad student (hopefully, it'll be Dr. bert before too long), which is why my "fun" writing here has been next to nothing lately.

You can see some of my "real world" writing here.  I am on a book chapter, too.

But for some reason, none of this has helped me to secure an agent.  Go figure....  

I'm unemployed. quit my sh**y job working at a grocery store to write. Worked there for a year and a half and it sucked. All I wanna do is get paid to write and direct my own movies. What could be better than that? Well...Maybe washing corpses.

Quoted from Breanne Mattson Well, your name certainly stands out.

You mean from all the Chinese names?  Yeah -- it's the nature of the business, but not without its benefits.  I've visited our collaborators in Beijing -- walked along the Great Wall and Tiananmen Square.  The Forbidden City, too.

Quoted from Simple Sally Why didn't you just say:  A gross oversimplification?

Silly Breanne.  You'll just have to trust that I know what I'm doing.

Now you have to put your job out there so people can tease you, too  

I don't work at all! I hate to work! Work makes me vomite! Work is just for fools. Who works die soon! Work is the opium of the capitalists! death to the work!

By the way, Brea, why are you photographed in the shadows (avatar)?

Quoted from bert Acting on a broad spectrum of extracellular, intracellular, and membrane-associated substrates, the matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are critical to the biological processes of organisms; when aberrantly expressed, many pathological conditions may be born or exacerbated.

That's a kick-ass logline. When can we expect to see the script?

Quoted from Martin That's a kick-ass logline. When can we expect to see the script?

Good catch, Martin. And since "many pathological conditions may be born or exacerbated", the concept has sequel potential as well  

Hmm....I'm starting to second-guess my decision to put those articles out there...


C'mon -- we have a corpse washer on here, guys -- a corpse washer! -- and I'm the guy getting hit with pot-shots?

I know this has all come up before, but what they heck, right?

I work for U.S. Cellular and posses the overkill job tite of Customer Service Fact Queue Specialist...which in simpler terms is the Customer Service Help Desk. This means I take calls from peope in Customer SErvice who have questions they need answered or accounts they need oversized credits applied to, and when the ustomer gets snippy and immature, I also take escalated calls.

I push papers around and a group of very talented people come up with stuff like this:
