Been working at a homeless shelter in Salt Lake City for 5 years now as a social worker. It's tough, that's for sure, but not so much rewarding. Sometimes yes, but not too often. You have to appreciate the small things sometimes, otherwise you'd go crazy and would wanna run down every homeless person you see on the street. I'm good at parties though as I have a lotta good stories about my clients. My favorite is how I actually had to tell a client to stop letting her kids pee in pots and pans in her room. The bathrooms were too far away for her I guess so she let them do their business in pots and pans. I actually had to have a conversation with a grown adult about why this wasn't OK. Seriously! I went to grad school and am $50,000 in debt due to student loans for this shit?!?!? It can get a little disenchanting.
My heart goes out to her, so I found this little video that might cheer her up.
This homeless guy shows off his pimped ride!
