Ode De Toilet...
Finally the weather is getting warmer, one of my favorite things about the change in warmer weater is the first whiff you catch of an outdoor B-B-Q in the Spring. Or the first fresh smell of new grass in the spring, if your sense of smell is dead then I can relate it to a childhood cereal that you may have enjoyed (Cookie Crisp) and after years and years of not having it you finally sit down again for a bowl. Pretty sweet.
Very much unlike yesterday, where the weather finally felt like spring, and it was actually enjoyable to spend time outside, that a homeless man was brought by my office for an arraignment. The man was the smell of pure urine, I felt bad that I had a detective and an officer transport him over in a squad car. The man sat in our lobby until a judge was available to process the order, the cops stood in the doorway as every office employee held their breath. My luck I get a temp secretary at the judges office who informs me he's in a conference at the moment. I told the secretary that he was to be informed immediatley when we were ready here, relay the message as best you can. twenty min pass and the lobby is smelling to high heaven of Peeeeeeeee. I get on the phone and get the temp again, I ask what in the world is the hold up, I have a detective waiting around, and a man smelling up the hall and no judge processing this commitment order? "Oh, um . okay" she says, "let me see if i can get him then". A Judge comes on the phone and is like "yeah whats up?" me; "uuuhhh, whats up? I have a homeless man sitting outside my office for the past 20min stinking up the place, thats whats up."
"20 min? I had no idea you guys were set, you should have told me"
GAH, I waited around after hours, with the door open to air out the place. left an apology on the Detectives machine, and got blamed by fellow employees for having a stinky man in the building. sigh... why cant homeless people roll in BBQ sauce instead of there own fecies.
