    I currently am the Assistant store manager of a VERY busy Burger King.

    In the next week and a half, I'm transitioning from working 50 hours a week to being a part time receptionist in a skilled nursing home.

    The opportunity presented itself and it had the perfect hours to allow me to stay at home with my girls and no longer have to pay daycare! Of course I jumped at it!

    I'm a stay-at-home mom but untl we moved last summer, I was a mortician's assistant/admin. assistant at a funeral home. Best. Job. Ever. I miss it so much. Love seeing other funeral service workers on here. :)

    How do you become a mortician's assistant? Were you the secretary, or a part-time worker? I've never heard of a mortician's assistant. We were told in school we are not allowed to have assistants because it's illegal for anyone unlicensed to be in the Embalming room. Every job I've had would not allow me to bring anyone back there..Sometimes I really needed it and wished I could have one tho....I'm confused.

    It's a long story how I got the job - but there were definitely restrictions! Every state is different. :) I basically emailed my former boss out of the blue and said I was interested in funeral service and asked if I could come in when he wasn't busy and ask him some questions about what he does, and got my job from there, about 6 months later. I was not allowed to do *anything* with embalming other than watch- mixing chemicals, obviously not digging around to raise an artery, no stitching, nothing like that, haha. It was just observation in the prep room. I am a cosmetologist so I was able to lend a hand to cosmetically prep them. I would also help dress them, casket, transport, set up for services and -of course- working calling hours and organizing stacks of paper work. When people asked me what I really did, I said hauled caskets, fussed with flowers and set up chairs, lol. I loved my job and very greatly miss it. The family that I worked for is wonderful.

    Actually every state is not different. The regulations apply to the whole U.S.A.....www.nfda.org...but anyhoo, no matter what friend or not it is illegal for *anyone* who is unlicensed to watch an embalming. That is what mortuary school is for. We got that big long lecture many times titled "Embalming is NOT a spectator sport." Hairdressers and Cosmetologists are not preferred, but if it is necessary (because of time restraints, etc) they are only allowed to view the head of the deceased, unless they are dressed. Dressing and casketing if you are not licensed is also illegal. In all 50 states. You may want to look it up. DEFINITELY mixing chemicals is illegal if you are not licensed. The family has to sign a waiver even for mortuary students to assist in the embalming, and even just for them to be in the room. Its a privacy issue, and since the new Hippa laws, they are very strict. Your friend may have been doing you a favor since you are interested in the trade, but if there would have been an inspection while you were there, he would have made SURE you were not in that prep room.....trust me on that :)

    My husband and I own a cabinet finishing business. I sand, glaze, spray, you name it! I usually log my work as exercise...because it is MANUAL labor, that is very hard, and I work up a HUGE sweat while I'm working.

    We also flip (remodel) houses on the side. That's a workout in itself!!

    We also own a Hot Shot Service...but I don't do it with him, because I don't have a CDL and can't drive the truck. So I stay at home when he goes on his hot shot runs...and I take care of things around home..as well as look up stuff for him when he calls.

    I work in IT doing Program Management, which is basically like Project Management, but instead of managing one project, we manage several related projects. Some days it's boring as hell, which gives me plenty of time to be on here. Other days, I'm so busy I never even see my desk.
