Oh, you know I have everything Patricia Cornwell ever wrote! And never mind getting a job at the Body Farm, we have an excellent facility right here at the Cook County morgue. The connections for research and body studies come from the medical departments right there at U of I Chicago. If the Body Farm intrigues you, you should read "Stiff" by Mary Roach.
We used to have a Teepee. The boys made and decorated it for the Y-Indian Guides and when we had a parade, all the Y-Indians sat around and in it on the float. It was fun.... until we learned why there are clearance rules on some streets. I dunno what happened to it.... it used to be stored at our place, but we've moved since then.
And I know this has nothing to do with body farms. Which I refuse to contemplate.
I need a new camera. Seriously. The pictures alone would have been worth it. If nothing else everyone can laugh at the look of udder disappointment on my face when I got inside.
BUT HOW DO I GET A JOB THERE? I am pretty sure I can't just show up and be like "I like dead people hee hee hee" because I am pretty sure they will just send me on down to Cook County Correctional just as a precaution.
My alma mater has one of those body farms for the forensics students to study rotting corpses.
There were flyers up in the building urging people to consider donating their expired bods to the farm, touting it as a "green" option for dealing with your corpse.
I don't think you can just "get a job" there - you have to be on the department faculty. Or, you could die and have someone dump you there. That would kind-of be a job.
