As Bushie's World Turns (The Update Thread)

[ilikeverin]

If you remember a year ago in the Update Thread I mentioned I have an actual process when it comes to changing my calendars for the New Year.  I am at it, again!  I have a schedule typed up on Microsoft Word that tells me when to take down a certain calendar, when to put up the new calendar, when to change pages to January.  As for my desk calendars, I have a schedule of when to turn each individual page.  It will not all get changed at one time, but I have a method to each page turn about 45 minutes apart.  I will have started the changing process, but I will take a break for Christmas from this Thursday evening through next Wednesday morning.  I will have all the calendars changed by 1:00 am Saturday, December 31, 2011 which is 3 hours before 2012 is born in the Pacific Ocean.

I have a couple words of advice for anyone trying to figure this out...  "Don't ask!".

Why???

Here's why.

Darn right, and I'm embracing it.

*hughughug*

Congrats on your weight loss!

I'm enjoying the day of College Football Bowl Games.  It is 8:30 pm Oklahoma Time and I've got another 29 1/2 hours before I go to bed the next time.  I'm watching the time tick down, not just the hours, but the minutes, and the seconds until the ball rises in Oklahoma City as well as the first time zone in the world in Samoa which will enter 2012 at 4:00 am Oklahoma time, 5:00 am New York time.

When I get to work tomorrow, I will keep a countdown on my second monitor that I will watch until time to go home.

Right after work tomorrow at 5:00 pm, I will head to the church and get things set up for the 2012 New Year's Eve Game Night which begins at 7:00 pm.  I will be delivering a short 15-minute devotion from 7:30-7:45 pm in the New Testament book of 3 John on the subject of Hospitality.

Well, it was time to change it from the Christmas Tree Star that was on there previously.  Since Christmas 2011 is over, and we are still 360 days from Christmas 2012, I thought I would change it to something more relevant, and that would be Kenya.

You also can't make up the fact that BushOK, who is super religious and super obsessed with Christmas, incorrectly states when the Christmas season is over yet starts preparing for the feast in...September.

LOL you Bushie.

He watches AND rewatches Dick Clark's New Years Eve!  I couldn't sit through it once. Hilarious.

Not just that, but I'll watch AND rewatch all 6 hours of it Sunday evening!

Happy New Year 2012!! As of this morning, I have now lost 17 pounds since Monday, November 14, 2011 when this all began. I am now weighing in at 268.0 after starting off at 285.0.  I'm still doing everything I've been doing the past 7 weeks, but now I'm incorporating more water, as well.  I drank quite a bit of water the last two days of 2011.

This week at work, I should learn that the requisition order will have been submitted on my permanent position at Dell.  It still will probably be the end of January or February before I actually get hired on permanent, but the process should be started this week, hopefully, or no later than early next week.

As you can see by my avatar and name change, I am solidifying my support behind Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney for the Republican Nomination and the General Election, should he win the nomination.  If Ron Paul were to miraculously win the nomination, my vote would be solidly in Obama's camp.  If it's anyone else, I'm undecided at this point.

For real? Awesome.

That's the way I see it right now.  Things could change especially after Nevada and see how things play out in all the broad regions of the country.

You describe yourself in your Forum profile as "Republican Socially, Democrat Economically". Why then are you supporting a Republican running mostly on fiscal issues in an election where the dominate issue is the economy?

There are other issues at play for me in this election.  I will expound on those later, as I'm about to go to bed.

Good for you. Welcome aboard! Get all signed up, and your membership card should be arriving on your doorstep soon. (I got mine yesterday)

Is there ever an election when you don't claim to support the Republican for a while...only to switch back later on?

That's probably because I have tendencies in both parties.  I'm a moderate by the country's standards, and a liberal by Oklahoma standards.  I also tend to vote for the person, not the party and my support does sway back and forth, but I've been doing some homework on Romney and, I think, he's the best bet in the Republican field. Most likely, if you were to ask me right now who I would support should someone other than Mitt Romney win the nomination, I would probably say President Obama.  I know I definitely would not support Ron Paul under any circumstances.

Good Thursday Evening.  I am 70 days from leaving for Kenya.  I also am sitting at 16 pounds lost, at a weight of 269.0 as of this morning.

I called my liaison, the recruiter who got me the job at Dell, this afternoon.  She confirmed what I've been hearing and what I've been expecting.  She said the way it typically works in a 9-month contract to hire with Dell is that sometime late in the 7th month or early in the 8th month, the Dell management will come to me and give me a start date to officially transition over to Dell badge and Dell payroll.  The start date is normally sometime in the 9th month.  The 8th month of my contract will begin next Friday, January 13, 2012, which means the 9th month will begin on Monday, February 13, 2012.  She says I should be hearing very soon about the next steps and be given the paperwork to fill out to move over to Dell badge and payroll.  She says that the only way she will know is from me as I am to call her when I find out a start date.  Neither she nor the temp coordinator at Dell have any jurisdiction over the decision whether good or bad, it is solely up to my supervisor.  My stats have continued to improve and are at the best they've been in my 7 months there.  It's pretty much a matter of when, and not if, at this point.  My supervisor is waiting for the word from the client that I'm working with (a medical complex in Minneapolis) about the contract extensions and he should receive that word either tomorrow or sometime next week.  He has the requisition order ready to submit for my position whenever he does hear.  My liaison says I should be given a start date sometime before the end of January, although that start date may be sometime in March.  Plus, I have another account I will be getting trained on in the near future, so things are definitely looking up and starting to take shape.

Only Bushie can use "vote for the person" reasoning and come up with Mitt Romney as the best choice.

I could see an argument for voting for a "competent" person. Not meant as voting for personality but rather for the individual judging his capability.

That said, I think it's silly to vote for the person most of the time (except internally within a party of course).

I cheated a little on my diet last night.  I had some ice cream from Sonic.  As a result, I gained 3/4 of a pound this morning back to 269.8.  I'll get back on track today, though.

I am 69 days from Kenya and I should be getting the plane tickets within the next two weeks.  The deadline to have the air fare money in is tomorrow, January 7, 2012 and we are having another meeting this Sunday, January 8 at 5:30 pm to go over a few things, answer more questions, and officially give the go ahead for our travel agent to purchase the tickets.  I imagine the tickets will be bought either this coming week or early the following week.

Why does this thread title sound like a double entendre?
