It amazes all of us House Managers that some of the residents just play hookie from work. Like it’s high school! The nice thing is, though, that since these jobs are arranged through a special program, we get a call from their bosses if they don’t show up. And believe me, we are a lot worse than the worst truant officer.

This little shit just turned 18 and he’s already gotten himself into heaps of trouble. It’s amazing to us how someone under 21 can be under the influence of the bottle, but I guess it just takes a few bad apples in your life to ruin it almost for good. We here at the House, however, believe in rehabilitation, even for those with severe emotional and psychological issues. After all, if we don’t help these young fuckers out, who will?
