I guess the fella who had my computer is being charged with theft in the second degree, i.e. knowingly being in possession of stolen property and not reporting it. I waited around for a while at 9 AM before they called me in, but it's okay because I got to catch up on my Entertainment Weekly reading. Did you know there's a movie coming out with Jack Black and Michael Cerra as cavemen? I had no idea. Oh yeah, I also get five bucks for my time! WOO!
No, really, I can use that five bucks. Which brings us to my next exciting task for the day - applying for food stamps. It had never occurred to me before, but I've met a lot of people in Portland who do it and boy do I qualify. So if the government wants to give me 175 bucks a month for food, who am I to argue? Right?
The best part of these government offices is the waiting room. I secretly love waiting rooms, or anything of the like. Train stations, bus depots, airports, laundromats. They're all great. It's a good time to catch up on reading and great for people watching. You get to see people at their most basic state, because they're not constantly trying to busy themselves or work towards anything. They're just waiting. It's also a good time to do some sketching. Today's drawing isn't that exciting, but I'm thinking of going back tomorrow to draw more. Hey, it's not like I have a job I need to be at.
Also, my waiting number was B-52. I wonder if they ever applied for food stamps?
