I have the most fascinating job where I get to do the coolest things all day long. Send people packets about adoption, put thing onto our website, plan agency parties, wake up the homeless man sleeping in our back storage room ....
Yes, you read that right. Wake up the homeless man sleeping in our back storage room. Well, not me personally, but another girl that I work with. Here's the story:
Yesterday at about 5:15 my fellow employee Carla went into the storage room to get some folders. Right before she walked in she heard this strange noise that sounded like snoring. Well, open the door look around the corner and ah ha - mystery solved. I guess the snoring would be coming from the homeless man curled up under the shelves taking a nap! A relatively sound one at that because he slept right through Carla screaming, running into the nearest office, and slamming the door shut. She then called the only man who works at the agency - our accountant, Mike. He came back, woke the man up, and told him he needed to leave. The guy simply asked Mike what time it was and then shuffled out the door. Carla then called the police, who showed up a few minutes later and promptly arrested a man they saw lingering in the back parking lot. Too bad it was the wrong guy. Poor feller was probably so confused. And that's that. Just another boring day at work.
Moral of the story is this: Homeless men, if you're looking to stay warm, my office is certainly not your best bet. We were out of heat for the last two weeks of December and I swear it was as cold outside as it was in. Next time you're looking for a warm spot to get some shut eye, try Betos. Or maybe the McDonalds on 8th East. At least there you run the chance of wearing them down and getting some free food. Thanks.

It's stories like this that warms a mother's heart....
As it should.
Don't worry - the VOA is moving next month so hopefully those folks will take off with it.
