The sad thing is, Bushie's not going to spend full time looking for a job once he leaves this one (assuming he isn't already gone and this is just another cover story.) He'll go back to his watching 12 hours of baseball some days and taking six hour naps the other days lifestyle, or explain how he can't do anything tomorrow because his cousin's roommate's brother's daughter is having her 7th birthday that he has to go to.

I'm almost starting to think the people for banning Bushie have a point.

It's pretty obvious the only way Update will go away is banning Bushie, and Bushie is using Update as an outlet. This means he isn't actually facing up to his very severe issues. If he didn't have it he might have to actual deal with his issues instead of soaking in the attention.

...But it's going to have to happen sooner or later anyway.

A thought that occurred to me is that a pizza or Jimmy John's delivery job might be decent for Bushie. You can work part time with very flexible hours so he can't use the excuse of having to look for other jobs, it's mostly driving, and even he can walk up carrying that to someone's doorstep. And while the pay isn't great they can make good money with tips, my brother working at Jimmy John's delivery is probably making more than Bushie did at his last call center job with his tips included. And I don't know if Tulsa is the same but in Minneapolis many have the only qualification that you have a car and a driver's license.

But then I realized Bushie would probably get fired after a few weeks due to how unreliable he is and how he'd be constantly calling in because of his headache or stomachache. But hey, worth a few weeks pay.

So what's Bushie going to do if he lands a CADD job and finds out his supervisor smokes pot?

So Bushie, what would you do if you got a CADD job with a pot smoking supervisor?

Yeah I'm quite skeptical of any job that'd do that or start in three days. We'll see.

What a roller coaster ride of ups and downs this season of Update has already been!

If this is in fact the real deal, congratulations!

Please work at getting your health issues under control so that you don't miss work all of the time and get fired again though. If you blow this gig because of headaches and stomach problems, the forum is REALLY going to come down on you and rightfully so.

You paid $57 for something available for free. That's a scam.

Having now taken a few of these sample USPS tests, they don't really seem that hard. Passing score (basically the minimum to be eligible for hiring) is 70, in every one I scored above 80. In fact there's a great example of something that would be annoying and maybe difficult to the average person but quite easy for someone who posts on a site called US Election Atlas. Maybe I should apply when any openings and testings occur in the Twin Cities.

My job records time worked down to the second. And then pays down to the hundredth of an hour. That rounding would suck. I don't get paid anything for staying 7 minutes late?

Bushie's life is so surreal. I've never had anyone ask me to come over to play boardgames at night.

Not even in college? Though for Bushie, yeah, that is weird.
