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

That's a tight range! 4% separated everyone? From the worst to the best?

That's a tight range! 4% separated everyone? From the worst to the best?

No,  4% separated all my courses.   Remember,  I took several different courses in the class.

Ah, okay. 78% seems pretty average. I thought you were top of the class? Or you said you were at one point.

And yeah, I know your weight has exploded, but it's not like I'm surprised. I've always said you shouldn't worry about your weight anymore. Just eat what you want and be happy.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Merry Christmas, Bushie!

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

He has suggested her parents are to be future in-laws recently...

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

I don't either, honestly. They don't strike me as people who can afford all of these extra spending endeavors. They have to be in debt somewhere. They might be and just not telling Bushie so he won't feel guilty.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

I forgot Bushie's parents took out a second mortgage, but it makes sense since he doesn't consider living off a loan as "debt," which is funny and always fascinated me about him, like when he says "we have ample money to pay for my expenses" and doesn't mention it is financed by increasing their debt. I wouldn't be surprised if things were dire for them right now, given the expense Bushie represents in their lives.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

We are only questioning your doctor because in the past, he/she said you were healthy outside of your weight, which isn't the case at all, unless they link all your troubles to you weight.

When you're 32 and have the problems you have, you aren't healthy. At least not by my definition.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Bushie! You need to lose 20-30lbs just to get back to where you were a few months ago! You need to lose far more than that and you are just ballooning back up! Don't worry about losing weight. You aren't going to, we all know it.

What did you buy to eat at Wal Mart?

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Bushie is known for buying canned things. It's his go to move!

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Memphis is correct, which is why I don't see Bushie breaking his habit anytime soon. He's been having cheat days constantly while gaining 30 pounds rather than losing any weight.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Uh oh, are your parents threatening to cut off your support? Or is your loan money running out?

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Yeah, it's just dangerous. When do you have to start making payments towards your loan? I don't know how student loans work.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Are there no other jobs in Oklahoma but call centers? I just don't understand why you keep going back to them and getting fired each and every time.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

So you're going to make the call center your career if you get one before a CADD job? What on earth happened with CADD? I have a strange feeling there is tons more to the story than we have been led to believe, like he needed an 80 to actually pass and he didn't pass the course.

And can a call center even be a career? How do you advance? To supervisor?

How about this? Just take the next job you can get and stop telling people you're only looking at them as a temp job until something better comes along. Stop this nonsense about "how you were raised" because right now, it's not working. If you get a non-CADD job, just work at it until a CADD job comes along. There's nothing illegal about looking elsewhere as long as your current employer doesn't know about it.

In Bushie's defense, it was mid-July before I got my diploma from undergrad and I still haven't received my law school degree and I graduated May 11.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

In Bushie's defense, it was mid-July before I got my diploma from undergrad and I still haven't received my law school degree and I graduated May 11.

But did those schools tell you that you would get your stuff weeks/months before you actually did?  Bushie may very well have graduated, but his hesitancy to ask is suspicious.  It would literally take less than 5 minutes to contact the school, and yet he's claiming he doesn't have time to do that because it would eat into his job search time.  That's just not accurate.

It was pretty common knowledge that we'd get our actual diplomas mid-summer. I never asked, but I could see online that I met the credits needed and GPA to graduate. I'm not sure why Bushie is so hesitant to call and ask, which is why I am starting to suspect that he didn't graduate, especially in light of his comments that he's going to make a call center a career.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Woohoo! Way to go!

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Interviewing for an unknown company isn't uncommon. My sister did that when she went through a recruiter. She found out who they were shortly afterwards which company it was.

I hope he gets it, but I always worry because he often gets excited and then gets turned down.

What happened to that company he interviewed with that he claimed loved god and discussed church services regularly?

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

They have no website or anything? This sounds bad. Oh boy.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

I can feel those hot leads from here! Ouchies! That's hot

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

I can feel those hot leads from here! Ouchies! That's hot

Just take a brief relaxation, bro.

The stress i'm under even makes those less enjoyable than they once were, even when I'm not alone.

I know, I'm in such a bad place right now.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

RIP

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

What have you eaten this weekend?

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Anyway, onto a different topic.  I am having dinner with my girlfriend's father tomorrow evening.  That can only mean one thing.  I am going to ask her father for his daughter's hand in marriage.  I am plotting my question to her, as well.

Oh my!

I thought you were only gonna do that if you had a job though? Feel like those hot leads are good enough for now?

Ohhhhhhhhhhh do you think papa allison is going to suggest it? Or did Bushie set up this dinner? Are we looking at a 4th of July proposal?

Sounds like Bushie just can't wait!

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

I'm only 11 1/2 months from the wedding and I have to have a job before I can ask her Dad and propose to her.  Even a low-paying job will show that I am at least trying.

EDIT: Note that this was said less than a week ago.

Sometimes when things are hot, plans change
