Hoy vuelvo a escribir despues de tanto tiempo...
Sabia desde hace mucho tiempo que mi profesion esta llamada como "diener" y para los que quisieran saber lo que significa proviene de la lengua alemana, asi encontre este escrito por ahi :


This individual (el individuo soy yo) is called a diener (DEE-nur), which is German for "servant" (sirviente o sea) . Most dieners do not realize the derivation of this word and would probably object to being called "diener" if they did. Dieners are not formally trained (o sea que son muy pocos los que se calientan en educarnos y los que pierden son ellos) , but many have some background of employment in the funeral industry. For some reason, in the southern U.S. anyway, about ninety per cent of dieners (my estimate) are African-American. I would estimate that less than ten per cent of dieners are female. Dieners tend to work at their job for decades (porque es muy bien pagado en mi caso) . I think this is because 1) management types don't know what goes on in the morgue, and would not care to mess around with its staffing come belt-tightening time, and 2) dieners are pretty much left alone by management and enjoy a much greater degree of autonomy than most workers at their pay grade and level of education. My own impression of the "diener personality" is that they are somewhat secretive and cliquish, and one gets the idea that they have a lot more going on in their lives than they tend to let on... For fiction writers, I think there is a lot of character development potential for dieners...." Ed Uthman, "The Routine Autopsy" (or here).

Eso es para que mas o menos se vayan dando una idea de que es lo que hago en mis horas utiles del dia....
