The Mid-Project Lull

We're just a little past the half-way point and the interviews finally slowed down.  Before today we never had anything less than 5 or 6 interviews in a day.  Today we had a whopping 1 interview after lunch.  Even our volunteer work seemed to be in a lull.  We were supposed to make a bunch of copies of handbooks and distribute them, I believe.  After copying the first set of 50 the copier got a paper jam and we had to try to figure out the whole inner workings of the huge copier-printer-scanner-fax machine.  Finally we got one of the case managers, Will, to help out.  He seemed to know what he was doing and was pulling out a bunch of crumpled pieces of paper so we assumed he was doing the right thing.  Then he said he was done and when he closed everything back up the machine beeped angrily and the message on the display said "machine failure."  We restarted the thing and it said the same thing so we had another staff member, Xavier, call it in.  All in all, we ended up standing around for a while, watching the two of them try to figure out the contraption.  Then we went to help with lunch, but it was all pre-prepared so we watched "Judge Joe Brown" on TV.  We then ate and headed to our single interview.  It was even a short one, but no one else was prepared to come be interviewed today.  We proceeded to leave a little early because there was nothing left for us to today.  Ed says since tomorrow is our last day at North Point we will go out with a bang and a lot of interviews.  I'm excited for tomorrow!
