abstinence is the idea of this man alexander able to cough is the director of the still such plan and likes to extend his influence as far as possible a man of big ideas the very epitome of micromanagement for the past fifteen years he's been preaching to his employees how to make good sausages and how to live a good life. while he is a must it's the quality of the product they gave you this job in the first place and it's the quality that determines whether you'll keep it after firing dozens of workers for showing up drunk at work or xander started lateran his employees on the harms of all the whole three times a day during with breaks is the holy roman emperor charlemagne said the drunk for the first time should be beaten with a stick those court for the second time should be beaten in public. time should be hanged as a former boxer he's not shy about exercising his rule with an r in face and has
