As Bushie's World Turns (The Update Thread)

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

I don't think Bushie gets that he's not staying in the fycking Nairobi Hilton with room service.  I also am still curious if he got it in writing he's allowed away from his job that long....

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

How are you getting time off work for this again?

He's still doing the Dell work as a temp.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Any chance we can get a film crew for this?

It would be one of those documentaries where people wouldn't be sure if it was a mockumentary.

Bushie is Michael Moore-esque

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

I've also got other lifestyle changes I'm going to make, all in an effort to increase the quality and productivity of my life.

A real girl might help that.....

As of 11:00 pm tonight (5 minutes ago), I have officially crossed underneath 50 full days until the midnight of the day that the Kenya Mission Trip begins, accounting for the time change on Sunday, March 11, 2012.

I've got a bunch of stuff I still have to do in the mean time to get ready for the trip.  I am 50 days away, so I will need to start packing in 25-30 days from now, just so I can have plenty of time to get what I need to take put away so I don't use it.  I'll probably start packing on Saturday, February 18 or 25, 2012.

Ahhhhhhh OCD issues...love it

Do you have a lil collection plate outside of your house, your church, work, what? 

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Here is what my diet consisted of today:

2 Bowls Honey Nut Cheerios for breakfast
2 Ham Sandwiches for lunch
2 Hot Dogs for supper

I am already on track to lose even more weight by tomorrow morning.

That's a diet?

I'm hoping Bushie has something to come back to when he returns from Kenya.

I'm hoping Bushie has something to come back to when he returns from Kenya.

See, I think this is a part of the mid season sweeps. Gearing up for a new adventure past Kenya.

I hate job search re-runs, Andrew..........booooooooring.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

So  you really think  jetting off to Kenya isn't going to screw the chance to get a decent full time job?

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Bushie, why is momma needing to retire?  She can't be that old.  Is she ok?

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Won't you still be in Kenya March 26th?  The writers are confusing me

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Please don't ever listen to advice your family gives you. We've seen this script before.

Too late

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Eh, if I remember correctly, didn't his parents also tell him that it was a smart move to leave the gas company for that insurance one.

Yep. The infamous "leap of faith" argument. He fell for that when he left the gas company for the scam Australian company that we all knew was a scam except for BushOK and his family.

How can it possibly be bad to accept a job offer if you can get out of it later? That's just free unemployment insurance...

That's what I told him. There's no harm in accepting it if he can cancel later if Dell hires him. It will be a job if Dell doesn't come through. It's like he would rather be unemployed than to work for AT&T.

It's too late, Dukey.  Or haven't you been on FB this morning

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Oh so this might worth reading again it appears.

Yeah, don't give up on this season just yet.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

There are 10 people interviewing for 2 positions, officially. 

K, this is troublesome.  You only have a 20% chance of getting a full time job and you passed up an interview for a full time job.

Is this correct?

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

I love cliffhangers.  The writers are good this season

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Why wouldn't they call you in to personally tell you yes or no.......an email?

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

The start date on this position would be this coming Monday, March 12, 2012.

Ahem.......Kenya?

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Again, are you absolutely certain that your Kenya thing isn't going to interfere with this?

I am 100% positive. My new manager is perfectly okay with it per her own mouth.

Make sure you get in writing that they're letting you take off for your trip...

I will do that.

Before accepting the job...

So you did NOT get it in writing, correct?

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Sigh. No use in coming to this forum until he's back.

He said he was going to post on his FB and I"m sure it will be a blow by blow description......enjoy it there, Dukey.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Someone should do running commentary of what they imagine Bushie is doing on each day of his trip.

Oh we'll just summarize his FB without copying it and violating any rule.  Our imagination doesn't come close to being as funny as his reality.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Last we heard he was in the slums of Kenya converting people or some such nonsense......

He's probably got a migrane, the sh**ts, and all kinds of other issues going on......

Ugh.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

I was right....Bushie is puking and has the trots.....but he's converting sick people and sick kids!   Amen!
