At the warm shelter today did not see Zig, but two people from a church who were doing the meal. Their church brought soup and my job was to serve the four different kinds, which were Beef and Barley, Corn Chowder, Chicken noodle and White bean. The people that came in were not all of the same, there was the man with the long black beard and black hair who wore two jackets was there, but people that I had not seen before were there. There was also a man who was wearing the same thing as I saw him wearing before. A gray sweatshirt and a gray shirt and on his face he had a big gray beard. One of the people who I served with told me that at the beginning of the month some people get a paycheck so they do not have to go to the warm shelter. Dan the Overseer of the men who live at the warm shelter said that people get their food stamps a week before Christmas and so at they have to live on those food stamps for five weeks. This will make the warm shelter busier towards the end of the month because people will have run out of food stamps. Some of the People who come in to get food were friendly, talked to you, and actually told you what they wanted to eat. While others just pointed at what they wanted, like as if they didn't want to say anything to you. While I was there, I felt like some of the people did not belong. One of the people had a jacket on that was from Viking Marina. That is a good job and he probably is paid well, yet he was in the soup kitchen. As I said in my first essay, it does not matter who you are it is just what happened to you and your choices in life.
