I know it is not something for everyone. I have to say, nothing really bothers me. After working in an emergency room, I've pretty much seen it all. (yes, things put in places they should not be)
That said, I am reminded of the time that one of Michael's hamsters died. I was trying to put it in an empty check box. I was having a difficult time when Sean came in and asked what I was doing:
- Sean: "What are you doing?"
- Me: "I'm trying to get Buster in this check box."
- Sean: "Ok, well just pick him up."
- Me: "I can't pick him up, he's dead!"
- Sean: (looking at me like I'm strange~yes, this happens a lot)
- Me: "What? I can't touch him, he's dead."
- Sean: (again with the strange look) "I understand he's dead, just pick him up."
- Me: "I can't, I can't do it. You pick him up."
- Sean: "You have cleaned up how many bodies of dead people, bagged them up and taken them to the morgue and you can't touch the hamster?"
- Me: "I know, I know. A person is different, this is an animal."
- Sean: "Ok, I'll do it. You are a bit strange you know."
I don't know why there is a difference, but there is. I bet if I worked in a funeral home, I couldn't put a person in a box either.
