Update XVI: Sidejackin' it in the Train Room.

[Eraserhead]

Welcome to the newest season of Update my friends!

[Eraserhead]

Welcome to Season XVI.  Eraserhead, I must say you were a great host for Season xv.  I'm looking forward to seeing what this season holds.

Thank you Bushie. I appreciate your support. This season already looks like it has the potential to go down with some of the all-time classics.

I am legitimately bummed to hear about your falling out with Allison though. If you need some time to process things that's understandable but eventually we are going to want a more detailed explanation of what exactly happened with her (especially since it was me and a couple of others here who helped you to patch things up with her after jokegate).

I did see that you mentioned something about her health. Has it taken a turn for the worse? I can certainly understand how that could stress someone out.

[Eraserhead]

What on earth is a "3 days notice"? You're supposed give at least two week's notice.

Expect to be escorted out of the building again, Jeff.

[Eraserhead]

Bushie, did you talk to the people at the South Bryant Campus about the CADD certificate yet?

[Eraserhead]

Still want to know what actually went down with Allison...

[Eraserhead]

Still got an answering machine for the certificate lady.  I left a message explaining what I'm wanting, so now I have to wait some more.  It frustrates me because I called on this two weeks ago and got the same answering machine.  You all want answers and I want answers.  I'll call again Friday if I haven't heard anything.

The only answer I've gotten so far is from Russ Powers himself by email a week ago or so saying that I do have a certificate waiting, and to contact the person in charge.  He said the location of the certificate should not affect my employment.

How's Big Russ doing? I was hoping he'd pop up a few times in this season.

[Eraserhead]

Maybe the breakup was mutual this time. Allison hasn't bashed Bushie at all on social media (unlike last time).

[Eraserhead]

Bushie did you tell Allison that you were thinking about leaving this last job you had before you guys broke it off?

Also does the original wedding date come back into play if you guys decide to get back together in the fall?

[Eraserhead]

Bushie, I am not trying to "be negative" as you so often accuse people ITT of being, but why do you consistently and repeatedly seek out customer service jobs?

Realistically, they are the only types of employers that would hire someone with Bushie's work record.

Which is another reason I tend to gravitate toward those jobs.  I know my job record sucks and while I still try for the really good jobs, I know call centers will mostly be there.

Heck, I know that if push come to shove and I'm out for too long without a job, I could go running back into the arms of the call center I just left and I'd be hired on the spot.  Naturally, I don't want to do that and I don't expect to have to do that, but it is the safety net of all safety nets.  It will make staying in Tulsa much easier if things go horribly wrong.  Like I said, I don't want to do that, and I left there for a reason, but it will be there for me if I need it.

What was the last straw for you with that place? Something must happened because you seemed committed to sticking with it for a while.

[Eraserhead]

Bushie did you tell Allison that you were thinking about leaving this last job you had before you guys broke it off?

Also does the original wedding date come back into play if you guys decide to get back together in the fall?

I did not tell her of my plans to leaving, because at the time we broke up I was still planning on going to work Monday.  It wasn't until Sunday evening that my mind changed.  We broke up on Saturday.

I highly doubt we'll get back together and if we did I think the original date would then be too soon.

RIP JOB

RIP JEFFISON, MY FAVORITE POWER COUPLE

[Eraserhead]

Yup, Jeffison was truly the best relationship we've had in this series so far. RIP.

Bushie's relationships, ranked:

3. Susan
2. Tiffanye
1. Allison

Wasn't there one other big relationship that he had that I guess happened before Update existed?

Also did we ever get to see what Tiffanye looked like?

Also, I wonder how Bushie would rank these relationships...

[Eraserhead]

I wonder if Bushie has ever spent any time on the Deep Web...

[Eraserhead]

Thursday and Friday last week really changed my mind.  It's hard to say what the last straw was as it was all a cumulative effect.  I guess if I were forced to name a last straw, it was that the managers knew absolutely nothing and came to work actually high on weed and were not stopped as they walked in.  Mind you, weed is still illegal in Oklahoma and it should not be consumed before work.  I wasn't really surprised that they were high on weed as the place had absolutely no drug testing policy.  It accepted not only drug addicts, but it also accepted convicted felons.  Many of the managers and even my classmates have been incarcerated before.  I'm all for reintegration, but it still made me feel uncomfortable.

So it wasn't really about the fact that the job didn't leave you time to search for another job?  It was really about the fact that you felt uncomfortable there because there were too many street toughs?

I'm thinking Papa and Mama Bushie we're ready to make him pull the plug as soon as he told them how many blacks we're working there.

[Eraserhead]

Whatever happened to his Kenyan children anyway? It's like they've dropped off the face of the earth.

[Eraserhead]

Is The Update wiki still around?

[Eraserhead]

Is The Update wiki still around?

http://theupdate.wikia.com/wiki/TheUpdate_Wiki

Nobody ever put anything on it really, but yes.

Quick, somebody add The Train Room!

[Eraserhead]

Good morning, folks.  I've got a big headache this morning and it's still raining outside.  I've got a couple places I could check out today, but if think I may relegate my search to the Internet.

How long will you nap be? Watching any baseball games?

[Eraserhead]

I'd like to suggest I Know Whato You Did Last Somer. Also, how can a headache be so bad as to preclude a nap, but tv is ok? I know when I have a headache, staring at a screen is extremely unappealing.

Better still!

[Eraserhead]

You need to get on the dole at least for a while and work on fixing your multitude of health issues.

[Eraserhead]

I'd almost certainly off myself if I had a headache every single day. That's not normal. You need help.

[Eraserhead]

Kenya and his children randomly come back into the picture! LOL! So good!

[Eraserhead]

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.

[Eraserhead]

Bushie, don't even dream about missing a day of work during this 90 day trial.

[Eraserhead]

Bushie, have you and Allison been texting each other regarding these new developments?

[Eraserhead]

Bushie, have you and Allison been texting each other regarding these new developments?

I texted her that I finally got a job.  She was pleased.  Still have little to no chance of getting back together.

What the heck happened between you guys?
