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

[WalterMitty]

i have a day off today.  should i watch 16 straight hours of baseball or take a 5 hour nap followed by the diarrhea special at chilis?

since i dont have the cable tv, i guess i will go for option 2. 

[WalterMitty]

Also shouldn't be looking for a job??

crazy talk.

he has a 'big savings'  remember? 

[WalterMitty]

what is the end game here?  he is stuck in a year's lease in a city he has no particular reason to be in.

how long can his parents afford to pay his bills before they go completely bankrupt?

[WalterMitty]

Why should anyone expect to get disability before even attempting to receive professional help?

[WalterMitty]

and this isnt directed at bushie personally...just a hypothetical:

why should the government subsidize those to watch 18 hours of tv a day, all because they have some mental conditions that they *refuse* to seek any kind of treatment for?

as someone who has struggled with mental illness and has worked hard to overcome it, the above notion is offensive to me.

[WalterMitty]

Why should anyone expect to get disability before even attempting to receive professional help?

What exactly do you think "professional help" would do for him?Mental health people aren't wizards. They can do a limited number of things. They can engage a patient in talk therapy and psychiatrists can prescribe drugs, most of which are either downers or ineffective SSRIs. All the talking and drugs in the world aren't going to fix his personality.

speaking from experience, both medications and therapy can be very, very helpful.  certainly more helpful than watching tv all day and praying things will change.

[WalterMitty]

Lol yeah, I love how he keeps reminding the world that they were broken up for 5 weeks until Updaters encouraged him to apologize and try to get her back.

As for eating out, Bushie can't cook and doesn't want to learn how, so of course he will eat out every night! No need to beat this dead horse again.

im not sure why his parents keep funding his eating out.  that is a total waste of money.

[WalterMitty]

bushie your focus should be solely on getting a job and a steady flow of income.

[WalterMitty]

a background check will nail him for omitting past employers. 

and we can all agree that cadd was a waste?

[WalterMitty]

I just don't get why Bushie refuses to get a fast food job...

I literally cannot lift the grease pans at the end of the night to clean up.  I tried that at KFC in 1999, but more than once ended up spilling the grease all over the floor.  One morning, I had to stay until 2:30 am on a school night to clean the place up.  I had to be at school at 7:55 that morning.

i think you can handle it.  i spent last night cleaning grease drain pans.  and im certainly not mr. muscles.

[WalterMitty]

speaking of russ powers, im assuming bushie still hasnt called him for assistance in this cadd job hunt?

[WalterMitty]

I don't think it's "smart" to consider a loan as a cushion of money.  It's not free and clear money, just another debt.

bushie has shown that he doesnt have a grasp of the concepts of debt and loan.

[WalterMitty]

i still dont understand why student loans are being used for....living in tulsa while unemployed.

i thought student loans were given to students to pay tuition?

[WalterMitty]

Because students also incur living expenses, one may also take out loans beyond the cost of tuition.

fair enough.  but bushie isnt a student.  and even when he was a student this past year, he lived at home with no living expenses.

i guess what he is doing is somewhat better than living on credit cards.  then again, student loan debt will haunt you to your grave.  and defaulting on it is bad times.

[WalterMitty]

bushie do you have the cadd certificate?

[WalterMitty]

bushie you really need to incorporate some exercise into your life.  your life now consists of sleeping...eating...watching tv....and riding in cars en route to do more eating.

[WalterMitty]

so instead of exercise as a way to break his lethargy, bushie drinks 44oz of soda.

[WalterMitty]

I'm trying to stay silent, but I wanted to give a quick update on my final grades for CADD school this past school year.  Averaging all the courses together, I will come out of the program with a 78%.  The lowest was 76% and the highest was 80%.  That's not too awfully bad.  I felt I could have done better, but I am pleased with where I ended the school year 3 months ago.

when you left the program, you said you would graduate with 'high honors.'

[WalterMitty]

i still dont know how bushie's parents are affording all of this, especially since only papa bushie works.

bushie, did your parents take out a second mortgage or any kind of loan to help support you?

[WalterMitty]

since we know how much you love going back to school

We do?

He loves going back to school in the sense of registering, taking out loans, and such. As for physically going to school....

correct answer.

[WalterMitty]

Buxhie did the doc use a latexed finger to check the prostate?

[WalterMitty]

do some exercising, bushie.  you are literally wasting away.

[WalterMitty]

bushie if you are this petered out at age 32, imagine 62!

[WalterMitty]

i would argue that bushie's fatigue may be in part this:

[WalterMitty]

on another subject:  bushie why didnt you go for the mba instead of a cadd certificate.  sure, the mba would have cost more, but it is much more lucrative in the long run.  and you dont seem to have an aversion to debt anyway.
