Welcome to my blog. I am going to start with a basic boring entry so everyone out there knows just who I am and why I'm writing this blog. So with that said, here goes nothing.
I'm an employee of a non-profit in Washington, DC that works very closely with the homeless population. More specifically I am a Program Manager at a day program that assists homeless adults in finding employment and affordable housing. This is important because I will be blogging about the things I see and hear around my place of employment as well as the city.
The contents of this blog are not meant to make fun of what I hear but to share some of the unbelievable things I hear with everyone else. I find myself hearing and seeing things most of my friends who don't work with me would never believe. I can't think of a day in the last two years that something funny, outrageous, vulgar, or shameless (or some combination of those) hasn't happened at work.
Now that all of that has been said and we are clear about what is being blogged about here, my reason for doing so. I have got to share these stories as they happen with my friends who I don't see everyday and anyone else who stumbles around and wants to know what it is really like at work. I'll probably be making entries that are very short, sometimes with just the key phrases heard or very short descriptions of what took place. I can't tell you names, ages, race, or anything identifying the person I'm talking about. I do hope that everyone who reads this will add their comments, questions, concerns, or criticisms. Don't be shy about it, you'll find out my client's aren't shy about what they say!
By the way, the title for this post is a quote heard in the office this week. Don't worry, that client has given much more than that gem and you'll see more of their ramblings later I'm sure.
