Slow Day

Today was our second to last day at Northpoint and was fairly uneventful. We arrived in the morning and were greeted by mounds of paper work to do. We handed out and post a bunch of flyers around the shelter. Then we were supposed make 50 copies of one packet, 25 copies of another, and 50 copies of one last one. We successfully made the first 50 copies and about half of the next set before we had printer problems. The printer let out its shrill beeping alert noise that notified us that there was a paper jam. Now both Andrew and I not being that printer savvy we had to call in some reinforcements to help us with the paper jam. Will helped us out with the paper jam and we thought all of our problems were fixed but unfortunately they were not. The beeping noise cam back and the alert this time read "printer failure" which we had absolutely no idea what that meant. So then Xavier came to help us out but the printer actually required servicing so there was no way that we could continue. We had successfully broken the printer after just 3 days of being at the place. Hopefully it will be fixed by tomorrow or else I will feel kind of bad for breaking their printer. We were then sent over to the kitchen to help with lunch at noon. Incidentally, there was nothing for us to do there either. We opened up some boxes of granola bars and put them in a bowl but then the guy in charge, David. Told us to just go relax and watch TV because he didn't have anything else for us to do. So we waited around until noon when lunch began, we had our lunch and then set ourselves up in the small room just outside the lunch room. To continue with the theme of the day we only did one interview today, which is the least we've ever done. And the interview was just six minutes long, we waited for the rest of lunch but nobody else came, which was disappointing. We talked to Ed afterwards who said there was nothing left for us to do today so he just told us to leave. Though he told us tomorrow he would get lots of people lined up for us so I'm excited for tomorrow!
