2. Newblog2011: 10/25/11 Work
I tried to go to the day labor place up the street from the Pine Street Inn the other day; you go, and you work for the day, and you get paid that night or the next day.
I was hoping to be able to get some work from them, but the guy behind the counter wouldn't listen to anything. It's not as if he didn't know who I was; it's not the nicest place anyway, but there was no reason why I shouldn't have gotten some work. Then I could have put some money in my pocket, but no.
I was trying to tell him that I was qualified to do the work, but he wouldn't hear of it; "No, no, no."
Some people are bigots, and some are afraid. Granted, that was the last time I tried, but it was very discouraging, and it's difficult to do anything when you don't have ANY money.
I got upset; anyone would have.
