Update XVII: I Ate The Strawberry (The REAL, AUTHENTIC Update)

[WalterMitty]

bushie do you really see your life as a tv show?

[WalterMitty]

bushie does your boss closely supervise you?

[WalterMitty]

you arent upset that the boss is cutting your hours?

[WalterMitty]

It sounds more serious than JJ. Hopefully everything ends up alright.

it does sound ominous.

but im guessing it is something like his grandmother's second cousin's husband's godson came down with appendicitis.

[WalterMitty]

maybe the diabet-us whisch was a family joke around the bushie house has taken a turn for the worse?

[WalterMitty]

I'm guessing someone's going to prison, getting divorced, is having an out-of-wedlock kid, or something along those lines. He wouldn't be so secretive if it were just a medical thing.

good point.

[WalterMitty]

bushie has not denied that he has a gay cousin.

[WalterMitty]

who wouldnt miss work if their gay second cousin came out?

[WalterMitty]

maybe bushie's brother is getting divorced?  or perhaps the family learned that while in the navy, bushie's brother once drank alcohol?

[WalterMitty]

Simfan, be quiet.  We've already discussed this last week, there is no need to rehash it again. I'm in no trouble whatsoever.

so you are basically part time now?

[WalterMitty]

bushie this doesnt sound good at all.

so you are officially a part time employee now?

[WalterMitty]

bushie, it is unfortunate but cadd might not be for you.

[WalterMitty]

i dont understand why bushie doesnt pursue becoming a preacher.  he seems to love church (and church people).

[WalterMitty]

bushie do you regret leaving the cad program so early?

[WalterMitty]

bushie insists on listening to the radio between 9-11 at work?

[WalterMitty]

bushie insists on listening to the radio between 9-11 at work?

Someone please help Walter. 

turns out you were right!  he does listen to the radio at work.

[WalterMitty]

bushie is it safe to say youve been fired from a majority of jobs youve had?

[WalterMitty]

i guess they dont have the cloud and/or flash drives in oklahoma.

[WalterMitty]

this wal mart chat is pretty boring.  though i was delighted to learn that one is supposed to report even the mention of the word 'union.'  it really is a great company. 

anyway, bushie,  *DO NOT QUIT* tomorrow.  go in and face the music.  if you get fired (which is 99% likely). so be it.  but dont quit.

[WalterMitty]

I don't think Bushie can go in and quit tomorrow. I'm pretty sure he'll be greeted at his desk by his boss and let go. I don't even know if they'll have a "talk." I think his boss is just fed up with his performance and didn't even want to wait until November 1st.

im afraid bushie wont go in at all.

[WalterMitty]

good job, bushie.

be honest:  did you screw up really bad at this job?  is there something you havent told us?  why was your boss hollering 'he doesnt get it.

[WalterMitty]

do you think there is any chance you dont get fired?

[WalterMitty]

there is about  05 chance bushie ever studies cad(d) at home.

[WalterMitty]

serious queston for bushie:  how many jobs have you been fired from?

[WalterMitty]

Maybe Bushie should be a firefighter. Not only is the job usually just sitting around doing nothing, the type of shifts they work means that firefighters are one of the rare jobs where a majority of their days are off days. Typically on call about 1/3 of the time, so Bushie would have 2/3 of the day to just sit around watching sports on TV and probably spending the majority of his time in the fire station doing the same.

Wouldn't he need to be a little more physically fit?

yeah, I'm sure even the flying-the-desk types have to pass some sort of physical tests.  and if fire stations in Okla are anything like they are here, they're a bit cliquish and traffick in conspicuous, traditional masculinity.  Bushie would have a hard time penetrating that culture.

and firefighters like to drink.  bushie thinks drinkers are going to hell.
