Victor went to get his paycheck for October on the first this month and when he got back home he told me about what happened at the office. His one coworker announced that their boss had been in a terrible car accident the night before and was in hospital…

That following Saturday Victor had taken me to the bank to get a new debit card and then do our grocery shopping for November. After I was done at the bank he told me that his pay check had not cleared yet as the bank was not able to get a hold of his boss for authorization.

His boss is stupid. He pays all of his employees with personal salary checks instead of normal paychecks because it “saves him money” to do it his way, or some bullshit.

Victor told me that the bank will take up to ten days to clear the check if they are not able to get the account holder’s authorization. So we couldn’t go to the supermarket and buy any groceries because we didn’t have any money to do so. But I bought some bread, meats and fruit with the money I had and have been doing so with whatever money I get and that Victor’s father sends us for the time being.

Since a few days after had Victor’s father been trying to get a hold of Victor’s boss but when he found out that he was in a certain hospital and was “unresponsive”, Victor’s father relaxed a little. But when he called the same hospital the following day, the hospital had “no record” of that man, Victor’s boss being admitted to that hospital. Some of the other employees also couldn’t get a hold of their boss; they too wanted the money that they had worked for…

Then that one coworker disappeared; the one that announced that their boss was admitted to hospital. No one could get a hold of her or anything. So obviously the situation became suspicious and Victor and a few of his coworkers filed a case at the police station against their boss and will be suing him not only if their pay checks don’t clear, but for the inconvenience and whatever else.

Victor has not been going to work because the police have closed down the workplace and have a couple of guards on the property to “catch” the boss or whoever tries to enter and collect anything from the boss’s house as the workplace is on the boss’s residential property.

Drama, drama, drama!

So Victor has been searching for a new job because he had been working at this DVD company as a sales rep, was working long hours, loads of hours of overtime and did not like it.

Until now because Victor just got home from a job interview… He got the job! He studied accounting and now he gets to do just that; he’s so happy. I’m happy for him too.

Things seem to be getting better!
