Oddity Central: Although he’s been homeless for two years, this Sacramento man refuses to accept money from anyone. Instead, Frederick Callison gives people copies of his resume in crisp white envelopes outside Smart & Final store at Watt Avenue and Arden Way, asking them to help him find a job if they really want to help him.
Callison, a former line cook with years of experience at several restaurants, also carries a Food Handlers certificate and Social Security card, more
Hmmm And what about him is different from most of the “homeless” we see on the street. What can it be?
Admirable for his situation, but with his restaurant experience, why doesn’t he take his resume to the nearest fast food joint?

The Resume
“It’s the economy stupid”
The corner he stands on, and the corner after that, are a fastfood junkies dreamland. Couple blocks the other direction and the are a dozen or more restaurants. Get a job.
I wonder how he lost his right eye, and what the other guy (maybe a prior boss?) looks like.
What’s reported about this man makes it hard to understand why he hasn’t found work. There has to be more to the story.
Last I heard, he had found work. This was old news. I think he was probably holding out for line cooking somewhere, but he supposedly earned his keep by pushing carts at the store he was at. We’ll see where this story goes in a few months, I guess.
Tuff crowd. Since he’s taking no money I gotta back him on this. That’s like 20 minutes from me and believe me resteraunts are closing right and left. Nobodies got any disposable income anymore.
“It’s the economy stupid”
Brad – Dude lives right smack between us. I’ll send him your way next time I see him.
Gee Wally, I don’t understand.
He’s not “Job-Locked”, he’s Funemployed!
Nancy Pelosi sez he can sit around and paint, sculpt, dance, be a musician, play Øbamamatopoeia in the “fog of controversy” (in the key of E) or whatever on the streets of California… naked even! Whut’s the problem?
“taking no money” “rather have a job”
let me guess, either black or mexican, right?
