Update XX: A Darn Good Judge of My Financial Situation

[Joe Biden 2020]

Here's an idea: why doesn't Bushie volunteer at a Christian non-profit: it'll get him out of his apartment and hopefully up and moving, it'll be something he can put on his resume between jobs, and if he might even learn something. For example, if he volunteers at a soup kitchen, he might learn some basic cooking; if he volunteers to help build houses, he might learn how to use tools and do basic home repair, etc. It might also help him make connections with like-minded people that he might be able to leverage into a job later on.

This is a good idea.  Don't you think this is a very good use of your free time, Bushie?  If you want to, as you say, do "God's work on Earth", would this not be a decent idea?

I think that this is a good idea, Jeff. I enjoy doing work like this, and it is spiritually rewarding.

It is a very good idea.  I like doing this kind of stuff, too.  We don't have any soup kitchens, per se, although there are food banks.  Habitat for Humanity, I'm sure takes volunteers.  The only thing stopping me is wanting to devote all day long to the job search, phone calls, and interviews.

I have no idea what this means, but listen to your peers in religion, Jeff.  Who knows?  You might get a position with a non-profit... and at the very least make connections with people. 

Have you done bowling night recently?

We haven't gone bowling in a while.  I would really like to, though.

Thought he might have meant his fam that he spends an exorbitant amount of time with.

That sounds like a book I would enjoy reading.  I agree with the title and subtitle.  I may have to see if I can find it at the local Target here.

[Joe Biden 2020]

I know I said I would turn down the sales job from this morning, but I did not.  Here's why.  There is no end in sight to the CAD job search.  I need income.  I need a filler job until I find a CAD job.  What this is all about is selling credit card payment machines to mainly small and medium-size businesses here in the Tulsa metro.  It has a base salary of $30,000 a year plus commission with benefits.  I work 0815-1700 Monday through Friday.  I don't really want sales, but I need some money coming in to pay the bills.  I did not want to go into the second half of February or early March without a job.  I want to reiterate, I have no intention at making this job permanent unless I do really well, but it is at the very least money in the bank until I land a more permanent CAD job.  It would also get me out of the house and keep cabin fever from setting in.  The best part is the job is only a 2.5 mile drive from my house.  If push come to shove, I could walk there.  I may be a hot mess when I get there, but I could walk there if my car were to break down or whatever.  I start Thursday morning at 0900 and then starting Friday morning I go in at 0815.

I'm sure I'll get yelled at for this, but I did want to let you all know.

He had 2 positions to fill and had 30-40 interviews to conduct yesterday, today, and tomorrow.  He called me at 1700 this evening and said he chose me because I appear to bring wisdom and the maturity to be able to do what I need to do to do this job right and do this job well.  In short, he has faith in me.  I am going to do my best to prove to him he did not make a mistake in choosing me.

I agree with getting yourself an income until something better comes along, but why something you hate?  I don't get it.  Why not just go be an Uber driver or a pizza guy?  Is it really that important to put on a shirt and tie for you that you'll get into sales? 

Keep the job search going, Bushie, because this isn't lasting long.  You've been down this road and Einstein's head is about to explode.

I agree with this.  Whenever someone here suggests that you apply for something like a pizza delivery job, you say "CADD is my field, and so I'm going to stick with that."

Then you apply for and accept a job in sales (something you said you're not good at), because "I need income"?  I don't get it.

[Sprouts Farmers Market ✘]

I think you're making a wise decision. I would never be able to take a sales role, but I applaud you for doing so. It's the right thing to do even if you don't like it.

I'm sticking with "Uber is better for you." But this is solid progress.

[Starbucks Union Thug HokeyPuck]

Seriously, Bushie.  Is it about getting dressed up to go to work?  Is it pride?  Do you think you're above the service industry?

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Guys, just be glad he's finding full-time work. If anything, him not liking this job will motivate him as he continues to search for other jobs.

But you don't do that, Bushie. There's no possible way to seriously claim that you do that.

It has a base salary of $30,000 a year plus commission with benefits.

Bushie, are you aware that gullible is spelled incorrectly in the dictionary? You should go check it and see for yourself. Hilarious.

[Sprouts Farmers Market ✘]

I thought I remember reading something like this before, but it seems to have gained a lot of press today as a result of getting published. Two scientists have a different model that could send the Big Bang Theory into the history books. Obviously a long way to go, but getting published is not a bad start. Take from it what you may: http://www.sciencealert.com/new-theory-suggests-the-big-bang-never-occurred

Congratulations (sort of), Jeff.

Jeff, if you crash and burn at this job, you're really getting to the point where you're unemployable. I want you to think about that. Your job history is littered with getting fired, getting laid off and quitting after short periods of time. If you perform poorly at this place and get escorted out, the people reviewing your application for the next job are going to be asking what your deal is. They're going to conclude that you're either incompetent at everything, based on getting terminated from positions in multiple industries and functional areas, or they're going to conclude that you're in your 30s and still haven't figured out what you want to do. Neither of those conclusions are good.

If you're not going to "stick with what you know best" (CADD), then your filler job needs to be something that literally anyone can do. Something centered on driving a car or simply sitting for extended periods of time and answering very basic questions (i.e. the person who sits at the front desk at a museum and tells the two people who ask in a given day where the bathroom is and gives them a map if they ask for one).

woohoo sales jobs

what "product" is bushie really selling this time?

He won't answer me about why his job always needs to be something he needs to put a shirt and tie on for.  The discussion is not worth having because he refuses to even address this issue.  I mean, he has Tourette's so he goes into SALES?  i'm not insulting you, Jeff it's just the reality of the situation.

[King]

I know I said I would turn down the sales job from this morning, but I did not.  Here's why.  There is no end in sight to the CAD job search.  I need income.  I need a filler job until I find a CAD job.

You're going to make literally $0 at this sales job.

[King]

Seriously, Bushie.  Is it about getting dressed up to go to work?  Is it pride?  Do you think you're above the service industry?

I don't see how someone could see themselves above the service industry and yet sign on to do sales in the year 2015. The salesman is a scumbag job.

You're going to make literally $0 at this sales job.

1. The job has a base salary

2. Don't tell Bushie that he's completely hopeless, that's not going to help him. By all means criticize him and tell him how he can improve, but telling them that he's going to fail no matter what isn't helpful.

Bushie isn't making a dime at no sales job. Never has, never will.
