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

[Franzl]

I'm still not going to search for a job because I am too afraid of disturbing the water, if you will.

This is FU***NG nutso.

Are you surprised?

[memphis]

What did Metro Tech say about the CADD certificate when you called them Monday?

[Joe Biden 2020]

Memphis, I haven't gotten around to it.

[WalterMitty]

Memphis, I haven't gotten around to it.

there is no cadd certificate.

and bushie, you weighed 245 in 2009.  you are on a really bad trajectory.  time for a wake up call.

[Smash255]

Bushie are you 300+ lbs. now?

The scale this morning showed 290.8.  That's much higher than I want to be, so if I can just train my mind to cut out fast food, I'll be alright.  I'm doing pretty good about switching to diet soda and water, I just need to cut out Mickey D's and Braum's, etc.

Get off your ass and start walking, also grab a pair of cheap dumbbells and start doing something.  This is serious.  If you don't there will be no update, because you will be dead.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Yeah, it's pretty obvious he never finished the program. I just wish he'd give up the act now.

[Smash255]

Yeah, that was a dark time in my life.  I still regret having sex with her.  It's something I will always regret.  I know I am forgiven of that sin by Almighty God, but I still have to pay the consequence of regret.

Anyway, back to the present:

I am having a good day so far.  They are changing my schedule to 8-17 M-F starting this evening.  I will never work 9-18 or 10-19 like I thought.  Most things about this job are very good.  There a couple things I don't care for, but they are very minor things.  The rest of the job sounds pretty good.  It's not what I envisioned a year ago when I was about to start school, but it's alright.  It will pay the bills and has a great potential to be a keeper.  As long as I mind my P's and Q's and occasional R's, I should be okay!  I'm still not going to search for a job because I am too afraid of disturbing the water, if you will.

Just because of what happened last time, doesn't mean you don't search for a new job.  That shouldn't be the lesson.  The lesson should be, not to list that job as a reference.  I don't know why this needs to be explained.......

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Yeah, it's pretty obvious he never finished the program. I just wish he'd give up the act now.

As brittain33 said, it's time to quit talking about it, me included.......cad is dead.

[King]

Pregnancy scare is in orginal Update. Dukey, you're welcome.

Let me throw another monkey wrench into the fire.  Another reason I know we're going to make it through this together and stronger than ever. 

Here it is:  In 8 months from now, putting it in the late March time frame, if all goes well, I will be a father.  I'm not talking about a step-father, I'm talking about a REAL, biological father.  We went all the way while we were in Arkansas in late June, so that's why I put 8 months, instead of 9, because its already been nearly one month.

I may seem like a goody-two-shoes pious Christian man, but I am definitely not one of those, and I do have my faults.

Plus, every hint I keep getting from her; and I am getting small, subtle hints; are all positive.

I can't believe it's already been five years. Post really made me laugh hard reading it again.

[memphis]

Bushie, I'll make you a deal. Just admit you didn't finish CADD, and I'll never bring it up ever again. I bet other members will do the same. What do you say?

[King]

Remember: There's an alternate timeline where Bushie got a job at Braums 5 years ago and is now managing it.

[Lief 🗽]

Remember: There's an alternate timeline where Bushie got a job at Braums 5 years ago and is now managing it.

Yeah but he's also 500 pounds in that timeline.

[Joe Biden 2020]

I may keep an eye on the jobs that come out, but I'm not going to make it a priority.  What is a priority is doing the best job that I can at this job and try to turn it into a long-lasting job.  I've got my priorities set for this job and while they may not be conventional or what everyone else would do, I believe they are the best priorities for me.  If you don't like them, you don't have to follow them.  But, don't say my priorities are wrong just because it's not what most other people would do.  Just to clarify: I'm not saying you're calling them wrong now, but just don't get the idea.

I have no idea what you just said.

Day 1 is over and I am now into Work Night #2.  It was a really good day.  It started off a little shaky, but by 11:00 it really turned around.  God changed my attitude about the position pretty early on today, so now I can focus on doing the very best job that I can at this place.  It's a great start and I am looking forward to a great day 2 on Thursday.  It is best for me to take this job one day at a time.  I can look forward to the future, but each day is a new opportunity, a new gift, to make the company proud, make myself proud, and make my girlfriend and family proud.  Most of all, it will allow me to honor and glorify my Heavenly Father.

[Mr. Morden]

Do we have a new record for shortest Update break ever?

Guys, I'm done with Update for a while.  I'm getting frustrated with several things, so instead of blowing up, I'm going to lay low on the Update for a while.  I will continue to talk on the rest of the forum, just no Update for a while.  I'm not going so far as to say I'll never post here again, but for a while, I'm taking an Update break.

Hope you get comfortable enough at this job to eventually admit you flunked out of CADD.

It was too tempting to stay away.

Do me a favor and drop the CADD subject, please?

[memphis]

I already explained what it would take for me to never mention CADD again. Also, it sounds like this job is already going badly if God had to change your attitude on the first day. What's the plan for when this job doesn't work out?

[Negusa Nagast 🚀]

I have no idea what you just said.

I believe "try to turn it into a long-lasting job" is Oklahoman slang for "will probably be fired within the next 2 months."

Again, this is Bushie all over. He loves announcing his 'plans'... but, where is the follow through?

Same thing with weight, if he was serious - he'd throw EVERYTHING out of his pantry and fridge, everything. And start fresh, if his parents genuinely supported him, they should be helping by cooking healthier foods to not give him an excuse to get out of it "Well, she cooked it, so I can't be rude" or "it's a holiday". Again, note he plans to go shopping for healthier food, buy weights, buy walking clothes... you don't need specialist equipment to go for a walk. Comfortable shoes, consideration for the weather and some water... that's it.

And do not get me started on 'diet soda' - the sweeteners in those things are TERRIBLE for you and they cause virtually the same reactions in the body as sugar (including diabetes).

Girl, preach it! That's what I did when I quit smoking, and it's what I did when I started dieting. I took all my bad stuff into work, and let them have it, and what wasn't taken I threw out. If Jeffie keeps going down this road, he will end up 6 feet under. It's not being mean, it's being honest.

Indeed.  Again:

I do plan to go to Walmart tomorrow night and get some healthier food.

Whatever happened to that, Bushie?
