Recently had a visit and dinner with friends I hadn't seen in a long time. Retired professionals, married couple, travel a lot, lovely home...super classy people and pleasant to be with. They are what I'd describe as 'well off', and they're active in church and several civic organizations. I'll call them Ruby and Joe.
Periodically they've helped people get back on their feet - job referrals, transitional housing, etc. About a week ago Ruby mentioned that a woman was staying at their home for awhile because of family problems. They connected with her via someone at church. From what I understand the woman - "Jenny" - (late 40s) is trying to locate and connect with some of her long lost relatives. She works part-time a few days a week as a housekeeper in a hotel. No car so Ruby or Joe drive her to a bus stop.
So.......we're sitting down eating dinner. I said a few things which Jenny apparently found hilarious, and she laughed/howled really loud .....like 3 hyenas. Okay, I like a good audience. :shrug: But Jenny said a few things which kinda made me go "hmmmm".
For example:
She said she heard a person can make really good money as a phone sex operator/actress. Jenny said her blind grandmother did it for years and made a bundle. I managed to just nod and kept a straight face.
Then she said that she knows of 2 vacant office buildings that she can get into anytime she wants.
Huh?
Under what circumstances would someone need to get into a vacant office building? What am I missing?
