I don't know who he is, but I think he might have a gambling problem.
I used to work with a chick who played the ponies at Remington Park on her lunch hour. Every. Single. Day. Then would try to borrow money from co-workers for rent, utilities, lunch, etc. I was a single mom with 3 kids and 2 jobs. You can imagine the ass-chewing she got when she hit me up for money to keep her electricity on. Some people's kids ...
I don't get the draw ... but then I have my own short-comings so I'll not get too down on someone ... long as the bills are paid and the kids have food to eat and shoes to wear to school.
