Update XVI: Sidejackin' it in the Train Room.

[King]

Bushie hates money. He's a true spiritual man. The Buddha of Oklahoma.

[Boris]

Yeah seriously if you're going to quit, wait until 'mid-august/Labor Day' when they start making you do stuff!

I don't know anything about call centers, but I'm guessing that they only request 3 days notice because the drones are so extremely replaceable and because people who have already given their notice perform badly on the phones. It makes a lot of sense. In any case, I'm still of the opinion that Bushie should get a job in a grocery store, ideally in eastern Oklahoma County so he can live either with Grandma Bushie or in the Train Room. It's a fairly easy job to get and, ideally, will encourage him to learn something about food other than how to shove it into his face. He's not alone in his complete cluelessness. Both my parents are the exact same way. And, what a surprise, they're both also obese, though neither one, thankfully, is at Bushie's (barely) morbid level. I think that Bushie's refusal even to consider such a job is a reflection of the stigma that American society holds for such workers. As if it's better to hold out for a professional career that is never going to materialize than accept menial labor. Ok, so stocking shelves isn't anybody's dream job. So what? Even at minimum wage, if he could keep this job longer than a few weeks, which is possible as many groceries are unionized, he'd be much better off financially than continuing with the on again off again call center roller coaster.

Nice rant, but he can't stand on his feet for more than an hour at a time......if that.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Submitted for your approval, two men, J-Mann and Inks, lead a ring of posters who try to give advice to a man trying to improve his own life. Little do they realize that not only is the advice they give ignored, they have been repeating themselves in an endless cycle for years. Little do these men realize, they have not logged onto just any internet forum, they have logged on permanently to the Twilight Zone.

Even I couldn't dream of something this fucked up.

[King]

Man, once Bushie gets in his head he wants to jump off that ledge, there's nothing anyone can say to talk him down. I've seen 6 year olds with more restraint.

[Adam Griffin]

His life has been a tumbling failure for the past decade due to his irrational and erratic decisions. It's quite obvious he has some sort of undiagnosed mental condition(s) and addictions, and won't be able to lead a productive and stable life until he cures the roots of his problems.

Manic depression with a huge strain of infantilism running through the core of it all.

[Lief 🗽]

Bushie seriously you're getting paid to watch other people work!!! Just work there as long as you can until they fire you. If you need time to go interview or whatever, then take a day off and they can fire you for taking a day off if they want, but quitting before you even have an interview to take off for is so, so, so stupid!!! It makes absolutely no sense at all!!

[King]

Lief, getting paid there would go against his moral stand to never make a dime in his entire life.

That's the real reason he isn't trying for jobs, isn't trying at jobs, and isn't even trying to get on the dole. He doesn't want it.

He needs to follow his dream of eating Braums on his parents tab until they pass and then sit outside the Braums begging passers by to buy him Braums.

[Negusa Nagast 🚀]

Bushie, since you will have more free time, when will you see a mental health professional not associated with any kind of church?

[Joe Biden 2020]

Nagas, no plans on that at this time.

[Negusa Nagast 🚀]

Nagas, no plans on that at this time.

So you're content on maintaining your unsuccessful status quo?

[Lief 🗽]

Bushie what did you today after refusing free money?

[Joe Biden 2020]

Bushie what did you today after refusing free money?

Get on craigslist, www.indeed.com, and www.simplyhired.com looking for jobs.  I did take a nap today, of course, but I've spent most of the rest of the day looking for jobs.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

"Of course"? It's pretty clear you're content with being unemployed when daily naps are what you consider your status quo.

And if you had time to nap, does this mean they booted you off the premises?

[WalterMitty]

did you give a 3 day notice today?  did they tell you to leave?

and be honest with yourself, at least.  you arent going to be looking for a job 'full time.'  you are going to eat, sleep, watch tv and eat some more...while mamma and pappa bushie pick up the tab.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Jeff, why do you refuse to see a mental health professional?

[WalterMitty]

Jeff, why do you refuse to see a mental health professional?

because god is taking care of him.  cant you tell?

[Joe Biden 2020]

Just like that, I've scored my first interview tomorrow at 13:30.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Just like that, I've scored my first interview tomorrow at 13:30.

Where?

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Just like that, I've scored my first interview tomorrow at 13:30.

Where?

Temp agency that does placement for call centers, of course.

...

Disgusting, considering Papa's out there working 60+ at a challenging job, and he's taking care of the north 40 as well.

[Smash255]

Just like that, I've scored my first interview tomorrow at 13:30.

I would suggest sending a few people in pm the name of the company and link to the ad, so we can do the research you will refuse to do.

[Indy Texas]

Just like that, I've scored my first interview tomorrow at 13:30.

Where?

Temp agency that does placement for call centers, of course.

Either that or a pyramid-scheme sales job that they give interviews to everyone for.

Bushie can be one of those people with a giant "HERBALIFE" decal on the back window of his car. The train room will be filled with boxes of supplements that sit unsold for years.
