Bob Loves Movies

One of the things that I forgot to mention about Bob is what he spends his can money on. Bob lives in a group home paid by his disability check. I'm pretty sure that he has a payee that takes care of his funds so any extra he gets collecting aluminum is his alone and used for lottery money.

Today, Bob walks into the agency on his weekly round of collecting cans. He knows which people are nice enough to save them for him and if it's a good day, you get to hear what he's up to. You can tell it's a good day by his hygiene and well, his report of his mood. He will tell you if hes, "above average", "mid-average", "mid to below average" and "below average." Today he reported that he was above average. He was so excited to tell us the tale of how he matched 3 of the 5 numbers in one of our state lottery games. It's not one of the big ones, just some add on that's a bit easier to win. Bob states, "I was so excited, and it couldn't of happened to a better person! I won ten dollars and because of this I was able to rent 5, 6, seven movies!" Then, just like that, in Bob fashion, he walks away before I could really respond.
