Cemetery Days

I work at a cemetery this summer, and I love it! I know that its kind of a weird place to work and it kind of catches people off guard when I tell them where I work, but I think its a great job. I mostly just trim around the gravestones, but we do have to pull up sod and dig graves too. Oh, and the common misconception is that we dig the graves by hand, you wouldnt believe the number of people that think that, but we dont. We use a backhoe. It makes things much easier and quicker.
I also like the people I work with too, thats what makes the job fun. Steve is the head sexton there at the cemetery, and hes hilarious. Hes a great boss too, hes a pretty relaxed guy so hes not always on our case to rush around and get things done, but its not like there is much to do anyways. But it makes it easier to follow his orders when he does really need something done. George is the assistant sexton. Hes a character, I dont think I have gone a single day without telling someone somthing about him. Hes a different guy, kind of a nerd, and he tells some pretty crazy stories. Russell, hes probably my favorite. Hes the old guy, I think hes 74 or 75 years old. Just the things hes says sometimes, just have to make me laugh. He always guesses the weather wrong, every single day. He refused to buy a Ford truck, only ever owned Chevys. Hes fun to tease because Ill say something to him or about him and he wont even hear me, or Ill blame things on him and he'll put up a strong defense. And he loves to smoke and drink Mt. Dew. Hes just a typical, confused old guy. And then theres Troy, my fellow trimmer. The other three guys mow, and me and Troy trim. Hes a couple years younger than me and worked there last summer so hes been showing me how to do things.

Ive already had some experiences there, some hauntings, some funny stories, and just random stuff. Heres my day usually goes: We work from 7am-4pm, Mon.-Fri, unless its raining, then we dont have to go in. From 7-9, we usually dont do much, sit around and drink coffee, I usually catch a little nap in there, or sometimes we will dig a grave or trim a little if we're behind. From 9-9:30 is our first break. Me and Troy usually go to Burger King or Mrs. Ts Bakery to grab some brunch, but recently got into the Pancake House. Then from 9:30-10 we will sit around a little longer, or get right to work. Then we work all the way to lunch, noon. We get a one hour lunch break, thats when I go home and watch Full House and enjoy my turkey sandwich. Lunch ends at 1, and we will usually catch up on some more trimming or grave digging/filling that needs to be done. Then our second break is from 2:30-3. Then from 3-4 we will sit around some more and reminise on the day. Great job eh? Next Ill have to tell of some of my haunting experiences. So long.
