She is again doing the check-in at the front door of the shelter.
This time, I hadn't even gotten through the front door before she was loudly coughing as if she wanted to expel her intestines.
Paul, who is at the counter, said "Look at the time," which was 10 minutes after 3:00 p.m. The front door is locked from 3:15 p.m. to 4:15 p.m. every afternoon; people who are not at the shelter before 3:15 are not able to add their names to the bed lottery. He was probably hoping that Lily would say that I was too late to add my name to the lottery. She didn't say that; she looked at the clock and said, unhappily, "Five more minutes."
I HAVE NEVER DONE ANYTHING TO THESE PEOPLE EXCEPT DOCUMENT THEIR UNPROVOKED, UNPROFESSIONAL ABUSE OF ME!
Several guests of the shelter have already coughed at me this afternoon, in the past few minutes.
