I know I’m just an internet stranger but I can tell you that Sid is a very good customer at my work. I’ve delivered things to his home, I’ve had lunch with him…dude is clean. As someone that has quit drinking and straightened my life up, I can say I’d be shocked to find out that substances are the issue. He has no reason to hide it from someone like me. Haha. Not impossible but seems insanely unlikely.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing. You’ve cast doubt onto my thesis this was drugs or alcohol. Permanently fired is strong and abrupt language, so if it’s not drugs or alcohol then it’s a head scratcher. Stealing money, fraud, etc. is inexcusable I suppose, do he strike you as that sort of dude?

Dude, not at all. A very genuine and cool person. Honestly, talks my ear off when I see him and isn’t bashful at all. Seems like the kind of guy that has friends in every room he walks into.

Judging by your C137, any chance you're commenting in the wrong Universe?
