Update XVIII: 15 Miles From Lunch

[King]

Pretty good. Onto the playing cards!

[King]

We need to decide what the playing tokens will be. Some suggestions...

A triple cheeseburger

A lozenge-shaped blood pressure pill

A telephone headset

JJ/Blondie the Dog

A Bible

A train

A tablet to play around with

[King]

Instead homes and hotels, I think the object of the game should be to stack up as many bills and credit cards on each location that players have to pay.

[King]

Some Trust Jesus card ideas

-Sister-in-law is blasting you on Facebook, pay $10 on all bills and $15 on all credit cards you own to show her!

-Diabetes test comes back negative! Advance to Braum's. If unowned, you may buy it. If owned, pay owner for two dinners.

[King]

One change to the board IMO: ONG should be replaced as a utility with MetroTech given the function of the utilities in the game. Indian Health Service definitely fits, though.

[King]

Bushie family taco salad IIRC is a disgusting slop of beans, beef, ranch dressing (!), corn, and cheese in a tostada bowl that no human being should enjoy.

[King]

Dark lettuces have nutrients but Bushie wouldn't dare try them.

[King]

If you haven't touched CAD yet, you really can't say how hands on and helpful and nice the supervisor is. Your last employer was the same way until he saw your work.

I still suggest touching your AutoCAD even if your employer isn't making you touch it just yet.

I know I can't know for sure, yet, but I can get a good feeling.  I asked him a question without fearing getting chewed out.  I can be legitimately hopeful and excited, though, and that's what a lot of this is.

See, it's not the boss whose attitude you need to be gauging. You didn't start getting chewed out until about Week 3 of mistake prone work when your boss finally tired of you.

This supervisor is going to be just as pissed with you if you perform at the rate you performed at in your last job. The surefire to not have a boss who will chew you out for boneheaded mistakes and dumb questions is to not make boneheaded mistakes and ask dumb questions.

Study.

[King]

My mistake about the Ranch dressing. A Google search of the board reveals it was actually ranch style beans, catalina (aka "French") dressing, and doritos.

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Slightly less disgusting than ranch dressing, but still slop IMO.

[King]

It's Brown family tradition to celebrate a new job with a trip to the Golden Corral chocolate fountain, even if it does make Bushie deathly ill.

[King]

He didn't mean to order the chocolate cake, but he accidentally did without thinking! Whoops! He was always taught not to waste food, so he didn't send it back.

Remember the Dr. Pepper incident at Burger King (I think?) when he pushed the wrong button. Great episode!

One of my favorites.  Our Dear Friend is in the midst of dieting, and one fine day at McDonalds (just lol already) he goes to get his fill of drink and oopsy daisy! we accidentally press the REGULAR Dr. Pepper.  Laughing to himself and asking WWJDWHDP? he doesn't dump out the fountain drink and instead takes a break from the diet to gorge on hamburgers, fries, and carbonated sugar water. 

Such a character.

His first Update diet dinner of 4 sloppy joes will always be the best one.

[King]

Don't forget to watch Talking Update hosted by Chris Hardwick after each episode.

[King]

I'm nearing the end

RIP Bushie

[King]

Bushie, have you helped Grandma with any dinners yet as you promised?

[King]

King, I haven't slept over at Grandma's, yet, so I haven't had a chance to help with the evening meal.  I will, though, when I move over there on Sunday night, November 16.

Why not tonight? You don't have to live with someone to help them why you are at their house.

[King]

It's at 1800. That should be about the time you get to Grandma's house every day you work. RIP helping Grandma.

[King]

I'm willing to give Jeff a lot of dietary latitude for Turkey Day. It's one of the few times his "It was a special ocassion... and Amurika!!!" is a totally valid excuse. I'm predicting lots of Cream of Mushroom calories for Bushie.

I would be thrilled to find out Bushie ate the Green Bean Casserole. More likely, he gorges himself on mashed potatoes and gravy. I doubt he likes turkey very much.

[King]

I could only imagine the nap Bushie takes after eating Thanksgiving turkey! He might not wake up until Saturday.

[King]

Now that Allison is gone and Bushie seems to have decided to become celibate, it appears weight gain is our friend's only outlet for happiness. 400 lbs by next year.

[King]

bushie have you surpassed 300 pounds?

295 and rising, Mitty.

I am actually 285.

Is there a lunch spot near your new place of work that you can walk to? 

Unfortunately, the closest places are 2 1/2 miles away.

So, yes.

[King]

Bushie doesn't consider a non-chain restaurant to be valid eatery.

[King]

Maybe he can get Grandma to pack him several ham sandwiches.

[King]

So you're just loading files and saving them as a different file type? Tell your manager you wish to stay in this position. It sounds perfect.
