Update XV: Stuck Inside of Tulsa with the Oklahoma City Blues Again

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

An American meal if burgers ?

[WalterMitty]

bushie have you ever eaten at bahama breeze?

[King]

The statistics certainly matchup with our Dear Friend's diet:

[Joe Biden 2020]

Grumps, we certainly had grilled hamburgers this afternoon.  That's as American as Apple pie

[Joe Biden 2020]

Walter, no I haven't.  I don't know if they have one in either OKC or Tulsa.

[Starbucks Union Thug HokeyPuck]

The statistics certainly matchup with our Dear Friend's diet:

Oh dear god Jeffrey!  Don't go to Bahama Breeze!!!

And this Forum isn't helping my Northeastern chauvinism.  We are the creme de la creme of every American statistic it seems like.   

[Lief 🗽]

Did you have apple pie as well?

[King]

Did you have apple pie as well?

He picked out all the apples and just had the syrup and crust with whipped cream, like a good American.

[Joe Biden 2020]

Did you have apple pie as well?

I don't even like apple pie.

[Joe Biden 2020]

You want to know something?  Having a job to go home to sure makes a holiday weekend so much more enjoyable.  I'm not near as apprehensive or uncomfortable as I would have been had there been no job, yet!

[Eraserhead]

I still think that you better hurry up and propose while you have the job.

[Mr. Morden]

You guys are funny.  He just wants me to establish myself in a job before I propose.

Did you say that you wanted to establish yourself in a job before proposing and he agreed with you?  Or was he the one to bring that up?

He brought it up initially and I agreed with him.

[J-Mann]

You guys are funny.  He just wants me to establish myself in a job before I propose.  I don't blame him.  I start the job this Wednesday, so I'm thinking mid-August or so.

I had a good holiday.  I took her to Alva to see my alma mater and then had dinner at Applebee's with her family and watched fireworks in Stillwater.  I'm at my parents now enjoying the rest of the weekend with them.  I'll go back to Tulsa tomorrow evening.

You don't think that, by "establish," he's thinking longer than six weeks? What does Papa Alison do? That'll give me some idea of what he expects from a son-in-law.

And you still haven't gotten you CADD certificate yet!?

I actually think the Walmart idea that someone floated earlier isn't too bad. Think of it, Jeff ... you don't truly like call centers and have never succeeded at them, but you end up in them because the jobs are super-easy to land. But Walmart ... they have structure and training, they'd probably be somewhat impressed with your credentials, and it could turn into an actual career. Plus, you actually like Walmart!

Yup - that sounds like he wants you to get your act together... that is longer than six-weeks, before he'll sign over the papers, or however this stuff happens in Oklahoma.

[Joe Biden 2020]

J-Mann, he is a quality and safety control for a manufacturing plant in Tulsa.  I know he expects a lot, but I also know he is a realist.  6 weeks is not enough to get fully established, but it's enough to give an idea if it's a job that you'll stick with.  I'm not sold or dead set on mid-August, but definitely sometime before the end of September.  I've already got a date set with Allison that we'll make public once the engagement is official.  I want to do my best to keep that date in tact.  I have faith in my abilities with either this call center or the CAD job.  I've no reason to doubt anything right now including proposing around Labor Day give or take a couple weeks.

[Lief 🗽]

Did you have apple pie as well?

I don't even like apple pie.

[Lief 🗽]

Bushie are there any pies you like?

[Mr. Morden]

I guess apple pie is out because it's got fruit, which makes it too healthy?

[Lief 🗽]

Luckily, the South invented a special pie just for this dilemma.



Literally crust with a butter and sugar filling.

How come Bushie eats exclusively at chain restaurants? I feel like he's trying to name drop them all the time. Applebee's. Barnhill's. On the Border. Cracker Barrel. Denny's. IHOP. Don't they have non chains in Oklahoma?

Update is brought to you by the aforementioned chain restaurants.  That's why Bushie never actually works.  He's just paid to write Update by those sponsors, and that gives him just enough $ to survive.

When Bushie temporarily locks Update, it's because of a pay dispute with his sponsors.  He likes to go on strike from time to time, to keep them on their toes.

Maybe Bushie has made a deal. The name dropping may be Update's equivalent to commercial breaks.

Morden put a lot more thought into what was essentially the same answer so I'll quote it for this page.
