Update XVI: Sidejackin' it in the Train Room.

[Lief 🗽]

I would really like a "Sidejackin' it in the Train Room" T-Shirt and/or trucker hat.

Also I'm surprised that they eat brunch out there in the heartland. I thought it was a purely coastal elitist thing. What did you guys get for brunch? Eggs benny?

Whaaaaaat???

[Lief 🗽]

Bushie wtf you're quitting a job where you literally get paid to do nothing??? This is the stupidest decision you've ever made!!

[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!!

[Lief 🗽]

Bushie what did you today after refusing free money?

[Lief 🗽]

So basically Bushie has gone from scamming the call center out of money and not doing work all day to scamming his parents out of money and not doing work all day? Not sure why he feels better about ripping off his parents than he does about that call center, especially with how sympathetic a character Papa Bushie has been written as.

[Lief 🗽]

There's something that he's not telling us, and it's worrying that he's dealing with it by systematically cutting himself off from the rest of the world.

^^^^

[Lief 🗽]

The objective may be getting a paycheck, but clearly the greater objective is taking a four-hour nap. Otherwise you would have gone to work all day today, earned $70 or whatever, and then just looked for jobs online when you got home.

[Lief 🗽]

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

Bushie it sounds like you were the most responsible person at that call center. If you hadn't quit, you'd probably have worked your way up to assistant (to the?) manager within the year!

[Lief 🗽]

Bushie you should buy an umbrella.

God, I would love to read a prequel series about what Bushie was up to between graduating from college and beginning Update five years ago! We still know so little about his first ex-fiancee!

So, wait, he's had a total of four fiancees?  Tiffanye, Susan, Allison, and then someone else before all of that, pre-2009?

Yeah, there was some mystery woman (named Somer, who is (last we were told) married to someone else now) before the Update saga began who he was briefly engaged to (and lost his virginity to, if I remember correctly). She was the one who some time later set him up with Tiffanye. Unfortunately she has not featured in the Update saga since the pilot episode, when she had Tiffanye and Bushie over to her house to meet for the first time.

When did you first start getting headaches?

[Lief 🗽]

I find it very unlikely that any real employer would hire someone within 2 hours of when they saw the ad, but hopefully I'm wrong old friend.

[Lief 🗽]

I mean the process certainly sounds weird, but who would dress up a scam in such a thoroughly un-sexy way?

[Lief 🗽]

Please try to fix yourselves things with vegetables in them instead of bacon and eggs and mac and cheese.

[Lief 🗽]

RIP diet

[Lief 🗽]

Well I'm happy that Bushie is clearly very happy in his new job. I just wish he would take his health more seriously, especially because it's impacted his job/school performance in the past.

[Lief 🗽]

I do hope we get some characterization on his boss and co-workers. Ever since Russ Powers et al were written off Update, it's been lacking in well developed supporting characters.

[Lief 🗽]

And boy what a whale she will be JMann.

Tiffanye was a more or less average weight, if I remember correctly. Of course those were the golden days when Bushie had stable employment and was only like 250 pounds. But with diet and exercise and showing up to work every day, he could become a catch again.

[Lief 🗽]

It's definitely not sounding good. I agree with both Eraserhead and King's analysis. I've been an Update super fan long enough to be able to read between the lines here.

[Lief 🗽]

Nothing short of death will stop me from Day 4!!

Jesus christ that better not be some sort of dark foreshadowing from the writers.

[Lief 🗽]

I'm as happy for Bushie and his new job as I am sad about Eskimo Joe's being written off the Update!

[Lief 🗽]

Who is Christine?

I thought the people on this show were supposed to be fats?
