Homeless But In Work

[poliphilo]

 There was a guy sleeping in the bus shelter. I gave him a couple of coins and he said that was just what he needed to get to work. I've read about people who hold down jobs in spite of being homeless but this was the first one I'd knowingly met.

I'd class seeing the 'Issue' or busking as work although many wouldn't.

Yeah, those things are work,

But a very specific kind of work- with the workplace being the street- and the worker being self-employed. From the way this guy spoke I figured he was going to an office or a restaurant or a garage or something along those lines- where he would have an employer and some sort of regular wage.
