First, N explained how I really should care more about beneficiaries and will refinements, because what if I wasn’t happy with what E did with money when I kicked it? I said E would go buy another musical instrument, and that was fine. I know my sweety. She said I wasn’t thinking hard enough, and needed to plan to haunt him and my dad so I could influence the ‘replacement me’ for the band.

Now it’s moved on to discussing burial practices (US funerals/burials often come to $10,000! We bury people in caskets of steel. WTF.) I was totally a fan of natural burial anyway (if you can’t do that, burn me, but seriously? Meat is made to decompose), but this cements it. So I looked it all up (my search history due to work conversations is WEIRD) and it turns out cardboard and wicker are popular for natural burials, and now I care.

BURY ME IN CARDBOARD, JUST LIKE I’VE BURIED THE WEEDS IN MY YARD. MULCH ME GOOD.

If only I’d kept the lawnmower box, I’d already have cardboard I know I can fit in!

We’re very well adjusted at work.

That’s my plan for death, so long as they get and finish it. Just in case I’m not useful enough during my life, I damn well will be afterwards. ;)
