Oh yeah, and I forgot to mention he was enrolled in counselling, and refused to go.

And enrolled in Gambler's Anonymous... and refused to go to that, too.

Footsies... yeah, I know he can't be forced to clean himself up. It's a choice he'll have to make on his own. We have tried to encourage the cleanup effort. It's interesting seeing it all unfolding before your very eyes... and even being able to predict it all before it happens. I gave him a bit of a lesson on "how to avoid getting fired", and I told him not to bring his personal life to work... because that's why he got let go previously. What did he do? Go right back to begging for raises, waving his pitty-flag... putting his financial desperation right in his bosses face. And he got let go again. As I predicted.

Anyway... it's like the never-ending wreck. All you can do is watch, and have a little chuckle.
