thats what i get

so there was a bum that wondered in to our fine end-of-life care establishment today. that is pretty normal. there is a bus stop in front of our office, and from time to time people will come in and nose around, obviously not meaning to be here. one of the office gals came to my office, nervous, and asked me to help out this man who said he had questions about cremation. i could tell that she couldn't deal with him. so i invited him into my office and gave him some brochures and tried to be nice. he looked homeless and smelled peculiar, but harmless. he had something going on with his eyes, one eye was lazy and would be looking to the side, while the other was on me, then all of a sudden his lazy eye would switch to become the good eye and the good eye would become the drifter (it made me wonder if this was more confusing for him, or the people he talked to, and made me seriously happy that i don't have this good eye changing problem). anyway i told him how much things cost and he said that the prices seemed reasonable, even though i couldn't help but think that there was no way this was legit. he said he would come back with the down payment amount, so i made a fake follow up appointment with him for 1pm (even writting his name down on a piece of paper to show him how serious i was about my intentions). he then left and caught a bus to nowhere for all i thought.
so 1:45 rolls around, and sure enough he comes in, counts out $500.00, we fill out the paperwork, and i am left with but shame.
