Update XVI: Sidejackin' it in the Train Room.

[Simfan34]

Polnut, I will address one thing you mentioned.  I have already been diagnosed with OCD.  That happened when I was 11, it comes as part of my Tourettes.  I have had that all my life, and was diagnosed officially at age 11 after years of testing and evaluations, a lot of them mental.  I've also got a severe case of ADHD.  I don't run away from these issues, rather I tend to embrace them and thank God for giving them to me.  Yes, I thank God for a neurological disorder.  So, I have already been through mental evaluations.  I'm positive the doctors today would reveal the same issues.

It's not about diagnosing anything. It's about finding ways to work around these problems. Most of the advice people have given you has been sound, Bushie. You've consistently ignored their advice.

[Simfan34]

Bushie, next time let me know if you're looking for a job, I'll be sure to send you some info in a untimely manner at a small fee.

Do you still like Christine?

She has become a snake in the grass.  She single-handedly sent Jocasta and Hayden to jury.  I like her, but I would not have blamed Nicole if she had the opportunity to backdoor Christine.

[Simfan34]

Good Monday Evening!  It was a really good day with a minor mistake at the end of the day.  I did something that reversed about 15 minutes of work.  I corrected that in about 10-15 minutes and then it was time to go home.  No worries on that mistake, I just know not to do that again.

Why has this been overlooked? Why do you even bother mentioning this at all? It's like you want to start getting defensive.

[Simfan34]

Board games + lots of wine = awesome.

Otherwise... bit sad.

It depends. If you're really intense when drinking it's a bit bizzare dealing with a person who gets very silly. It can be fun, but it can also be a pain.

But yes, drink and something like Apples to Apples is usually a winning combination.

[Simfan34]

Why is he leaving half an hour early?

[Simfan34]

Due to not having anything to do when I first get there as I am between projects, I have decided to go in at 0800 instead of 0730 tomorrow.  I'll still get off at 1630.  My boss doesn't usually get there until 0815 or 0830 so I don't want to spend 45-60 minutes of my shift doing nothing.

Uh oh...

What's going on?

Nothing.  I'm just in between projects right now, so I don't have anything to do until he gives me a new project to work on.   I don't want to waste his time by going in at 0730.  I'd rather go in at 0800 which is closer to the time he arrives so I can waste as little of his time as possible.

Aren't you the guy who chose to come to work 45 minutes early to, what was it, go to the bathroom, do some bible study, lubricate your throat with some Dr. Pepper, boot the computer, and do general unnecessary things?

[Simfan34]

Defensiveness!

[Simfan34]

Are you sure no one from the Onion reads the Update?

[Simfan34]

You guys don't even know the pure apathy that is Braum's marketing. They literally still run ads like this on the teevee, and their website looked like this... in 2012. Everything about the place is twenty years outdated.

They've made a quantum leap here! I don't believe you about that commercial, though.

I know! It's amazing. Look at their milk making process:

Braum's is leading the fight against osteoporosis!

[Simfan34]

Braum's doesn't mess with the classics:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iy6idkt0_hA

But it is not averse to innovation:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pUMnSnbVAQ

Also, look how everything is "Braum's", the bread, the meat, the cheese, everything! They could take over the world if they so pleased. But they're content to stay near their farm They serve you during the best times of the year, too!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBBJgIeEZRU

It brings tears to my eyes. What honest American enterprise.

[Simfan34]

Finally, the scourge of watery skim milk is lifted! Why, even the youtube comments attest to its glory!

"mmm they have the best milk on planet earth"

"true that."

"I personally believe that BRAUM's is the very BEST... in the world. I have never found any other... that tasted better. Please consider opening up a store in California. "

Braum's needs to go national. The Atlas needs to arrange a trip to the Braum's factory, ASAP:

Look at this beauty:

Wow. Braums. 120 flavours. This is authentic. THEY MILK THEIR OWN COWS!

[Simfan34]

Ok Simfan, calm down. 

Sure, just after I post news of Braum's sleek and hyperfuturistic prototype.

http://amarillo.com/news/local-news/2013-03-02/ice-ice-cream













Okay Joe, now I can calm down.

I love how the writers have crafted Braums as a bit of a metaphor for Bushie's life: slow to change and still living like its the 1980s.

This changes things.

[Simfan34]

Braum's is the miracle cure!

See! Was it one of the cutting edge-prototypes?

[Simfan34]

Leftovers work you know, dear Bushie. I am living alone right now too if I don't have a girl over, and I always cook for myself and eat whatever I have left over the next few days.

[Simfan34]

Wow, the owner must be pretty ancient, huh?

He's got to be in his 70's, which I still don't consider to be old.

A hard truth: You won't even get close to your 70s unless you drop a lot of weight and keep it off.

That is true.

And you don't want to change?

[Simfan34]

I've got a very stout headache again tonight.  It is hovering at a Grade 7.  I started getting it late in the day today and it hasn't gone away.  I'm thinking this may be prescription migraine pill worthy before it develops into a migraine.  It hasn't gotten any worse in the past 3+ hours, but it hasn't gotten any better.  This will not affect tomorrow in any way and I will go to work even if it is a severe headache.

LIES!

[Simfan34]

LOL. Good one.

[Simfan34]

Excellent to hear! I sincerely feel happy for you.

[Simfan34]

Bushie... Kiwis, mangos?

I might do mango, but I'm not too fond of kiwi.

Lol

Update The Return of Kenya III

[Simfan34]

Bushie please don't quit your CAD job to go to Kenya.

Damn it why did you have to give him an idea. Truth be told this seems to be going well but I feel he'll quit to focus on Kenya.
