Gambling? No more!
I was pretty surprised when I heard from Silvano that Malicija invited our worker and his fat girlfriend over to their place wanting to know them better. She learned the truth about what I told her earlier: love has many faces and is not submitted to our definitions of it. Silvano told us that she dropped prejudices about fat people. Besides that, he also told us that she is turning into a neat person, cleaning their apartment and keeping it neat. She still needs to learn a lot, but I am glad she is progressing.
My dad got sick (the flu) and he and my mom stayed home. She is nursing him. Our children miss them very much and they cry whenever they talk to them over dad Boss’s or mom Zdenka’s phone since they are babysitting them now. My mom told me that my dad held his tears when talking to them, but he blasted in crying after it. That is strange and uncommon for him. It can mean only one thing: he loves them very much and he misses them too. He was never attached to anyone as he is attached to them, except for my Prince’s uncle. We miss them too especially during our family morning coffee time.
We are ready for the 8th of March, International women’s day. We set the budget for that event and organized a small snack party with proper gifts for our female workers. Besides that, every female worker and guest will get chocolate candy, a flower, and a 50% of discount in our restaurant, bar, gym, and other facilities.
I do not know if you remember the worker with a gambling problem I told you about a while ago whom we helped to cover his gambling debts asking him to promise he will not gamble anymore since he is the only one who has a job in his family. Well, he didn’t gamble for some time, until recently. He lost a certain amount of money and he asked us for help so he can pay the bills. My Prince agreed to help him since he got the money for such situations from Mister “XXX”, but he had some conditions. He invited him to my office and confronted him saying:
- You know how much I hate people who are destroying their families by spending hard-earned money on drinking, gambling, drugs, and similar shit …. Listen to me very carefully now: I will help you cover your debt if you register at a rehabilitation center today and start working on your addiction! You will gamble no more! If you reject my proposal and you spend a single cent on gambling, I swear, I will hurt you very badly and put you in hospital for a long time for I will not let you destroy the lives of your family who has an idiot for a husband and a father! If you want to take a walk on that road, be my guest, but I promise you a lot of longtime pain … As for your family, do not worry, unlike you, we will take a care of them until they financially recover.
The man knew my Prince was serious and that he always keeps his promise. He started to sweat and stutter promising he’ll not gamble ever again. So, we, e.b. agreed to help his family if he refuses to go under the rehab program. He signed an internal written agreement that he will attend a rehabilitation center and stop gambling. He’ll also accept all consequences if he breaks it. After that, he called the rehab center and arranged the first meeting. We kept our part of the deal. We covered his debt. I am deeply convinced he will keep his part of the agreement for he knows my Prince was very serious about all he said. Now, maybe some of you might say my Prince had no right to interfere in his private life. Wrong. The guy asked us for help. Since we treat our workers as our family, rough methods are necessary sometimes.
