It's clear Bushie will not be working his final 3 days. I wonder if he went willingly or if he had to be escorted off the premesis.
Also, any news on the CADD certificate?

[Adam Griffin]

And what about those credit card charges? Have you dealt with them yet, or has your mental illness prevented you from calling?

[WalterMitty]

it doesnt matter.  he isnt paying the bill.

[Joe Biden 2020]

To answer Walter, I did give them a 3-days notice, but I was relieved of my duties right then and there.  I expected that.

I wish not to disclose the name of the company I am interviewing with on account of Mondale.  I will not disclose the name via PM, either.  All I will say it is in Midtown Tulsa.  And, it is directly with the company, not a staffing agency.  It is customer service, but that's all I will say.

I also called and re-activated two staffing agencies that are looking for me help desk and CAD jobs.  I've been working with these agencies since March when I first thought of moving to Tulsa.

You did before. So the only reasonable explanation is that you're currently lying to make your decision for a spontaneous vacation seem legitimate (which it still isn't, by the way).

Bushie needed to quit his free money do nothing job because the 5 hours between clocking out and sleep weren't enough to go on CraigsList.

Bushie,

Obviously due to Mondale, it makes no sense to disclose it on the forum, however I think it is in your best interests to let a few of us do some reesarch on it considering some of the situations you have gotten yourself into.  It would be better if you do it prior to the interview so we can help give you a better idea, questions to ask, etc, however if not prior to the interview at least prior to accepting any potential offer (and this goes for this or any other place as well, not just this interview)

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

So if you won't PM anybody, how do you know this interview isn't a scam? You didn't with the USPS stuff.

[King]

Forget about Mondale, are we sure we want Bushie to know too much about the job he is interviewing for?

He's the biggest saboteur of them all.

[J-Mann]

Do yourself a favor and stay out of customer service. For real. It's not you and you're not good at it.

Did you ever stop to think about how easily you land all these customer service jobs and then how quickly things "fall through?" That's because they're churn-and-burn environments for which you're not suited.

You made a bonehead move by giving up a position in order to look for a job "full time." Alright, so now you're looking full time. Make the most of it. Don't oafishly accept the first thing that comes along, as this call center / customer service opportunity obviously will be. Make the best of the situations you create for yourself and find something that fits you!

If you don't, we'll be having this exact same dialog in a month, where you've been whisked on board into a position at which you cannot succeed and -- through either dismissal or your own realization that you don't fit -- soon after leave to start the cycle over again.

And you'd be wise to share the name of the company with a few of us so we can help you out.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

I don't get it. Why did you quit your job at a call center to make more time to apply for a job at a call center?

[Adam Griffin]

He's probably lying about it, given his recent erratic behavior and the inevitable shame in what he's done (which he may already be feeling). Whether he's lying or not, though, this whole damn ordeal is a side-effect of his serious, legitimate and undiagnosed mental illness (which almost certainly is manic depression, although could definitely coexist with other maladies).

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Jeff, what is the harm in seeing a mental health professional? If you're truly fine, as you insist, the doctor will simply confirm this. How could that possibly be a bad thing?

Uh, these things cost money, Inks. And money doesn't grow on...oh wait. Never mind.

[Joe Biden 2020]

J-Mann and Smash, I just PM'd you the name of the company.  I'm looking for honest answers, which I know you will provide.

[Joe Biden 2020]

It's just the cost, effort, and time to muster up the energy and courage to contact a mhp.  I know I am not mentally ill, as everybody who sees me in real life would vouch for, so I think it would be a total waste of said cost, time, and effort.

[Mr. Morden]

Bushie, is the option of moving to Kenya dead?  IIRC, you gave up on that to be with Allison, but if she's now out of the picture, will the Kenya plan return?

I'll cover the co-pay for you. That takes care of the cost. The effort is minimal. As for the time, it'll take 5 minutes to make an appointment and maybe a total of 2 hours to drive there, see the doctor, and drive back. You have 2 hours of free time M-F, I assure you, especially now that you're unemployed.

The people who see you in real life don't know the real you, unless you're just as candid about your lying and gullibility with everyone you meet, which I highly doubt.

Thanks for the offer, but no thanks.  I'm not mentally ill as some on this forum seem to suggest.  I'm different, yes, but I'm not sick.

[J-Mann]

This all sounds familiar ...

Jeff -- choosing to believe that you are indeed telling the truth about all of your recent mishaps, I think you need to go beyond your "self-prescribed therapy" of posting every detail of your life here and actually seek legitimate help.

Many of us are offering, but we've been ignored or told we "don't really know" you for months; our advice, by and large, has been rebuffed. That's why you need to find a neutral party -- a therapist -- that can help you overcome what really has become a disturbing pattern of self-delusion followed by predictable failure.

And I don't mean talking to your parents about it, nor anyone from your church. You don't need enablers right now, and as near as any of us can tell from your story, they've enabled every bit of this expensive bullheadedness by refraining from giving sound, honest and realistic advice. You need professional help.

I seriously don't understand your aversion to taking the advice of the people who attempt to engage you in a reasonable process of thinking through decisions. And I know it's "just an internet forum," but hopefully some of us -- myself included -- have shown you that you're more than just an object of mockery (though you lend yourself to that quite well through your ignorance).

You can't believe that your vetting process is working -- you "left no stone unturned" and nearly fell for an obvious money-laundering scam, only abandoning it when forum members here presented you with absolute irrefutable proof of what it was.

Personally, I think you need to put yourself on pause (except for the hunt for a real job) for a while and get truly introspective about the life choices you've made and admit that they were wrong. Realize that trying to justify a poor decision can lead to even worse situations (ie: you were going to give ON-Company "a chance" despite literally dozens of people telling you it was a scam).

And get professional help. Yes, the kind you have to pay for. I believe you have something seriously wrong that is impairing your judgment and decision-making abilities ... and if you say that you don't, you're just being delusional again. The last month of decision-making on your end should be proof of that.

There's no such thing as "a string of bad luck." You make your own luck. You've chosen poorly, and now you need to face up to that.

How can you know this? You're not a doctor. Even when you've been confident about other things, it's been revealed you're dead wrong. So how can you know if you have no training in the field?

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Even if you won't see a doctor, humor me and take this test. It's nothing like seeing a doctor, but it could help. Answer it all honestly. If you don't, it only shows that subconsciously (or even consciously) you really do need help: http://psychologytoday.tests.psychtests.com/take_test.php?idRegTest=3040

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

I don't get it. Why did you quit your job at a call center to make more time to apply for a job at a call center?

Laziness. The inability to do (more than) one thing.

[Mr. Morden]

I don't get it. Why did you quit your job at a call center to make more time to apply for a job at a call center?

Right.  But the question is, if you're going to apply for (and accept) jobs that are nearly the same as the one you just left, then what's the point of doing the job search at all?  Why not just stay where you are?
