air hobos

so i know a lot about hobos, thanks to john hodgman. i even know exactly what i'm going to name my kid, thanks to john hodgman. unfortunately, i don't know why they insist on breaking all of our stuff where i work. or going through our bags of trash on trash day. or yelling things at us. either way, i was on the phone with my boss (she's in montreal), and there was some guy who came in to our office and started talking and talking and talking. it was really pissing me off because i was on the phone with my boss and i couldn't hear a freaking word she was saying...nor could i hear a freaking word he was saying. so i told my boss i had to go. no, no. she wanted me to ask everyone if they had anything they wanted to tell her. so i asked. response from amanda and meagan: no. response from guy: your air conditioner is broken. i told her no one had anything to say, thinking that he was sweating profusely because he was talking loudly, and my preacher used to do that (still does, but i don't go there anymore). he would be drenched in sweat by the end of the sermon, while my best friend would sit beside me and whisper "i wonder if he knows gluttony is a sin?" either way, i disconnected the call with raeanne and went to my office. then i realized that everyone had gone to the back of the building. i went back there, and holy crap. this is what i discovered:

in case you can't tell, they broke the wires and the lock. whoever did this knew what they were doing. fortunately, it's the air conditioning unit the back, where we don't work. unfortunately, however, it's where raeanne's negatives are. we haven't told her yet. i pick her up from the airport today. she's going to be pissed.

i'm sure i shouldn't blame it on the hobos, but it's someone who decided it would be a good idea to steal the copper out of the air conditioning unit and sell it. someone who probably doesn't have a lot of money or wants to make a quick buck.

by the way, did you know michael jordan recoops 70% of the profits from his air jordans?? and people wonder why there are hobos in the first place, right? why does paris hilton have money and kevin, the diabetic that raeanne "adopted" who lives in a park has nothing but a lot of puppies and no food? why is this acceptable?
