Update XX: A Darn Good Judge of My Financial Situation

[Associate Justice PiT]

    I find it hilarious that Bushie's theology has no issue with allowing unrepentant criminals and monsters into heaven. No wonder Southerners are so tough on the wicked; they sure don't think that God will be.

     I think Bushie probably cooked something once and then decided after dinner he'd rather go to Braum's, but it was too late and Braum's was closed. As a result, ODF developed PTSD. Now being near a stove causes him to develop panic attacks, as he thinks about the bacon cheeseburger that never was.

I don't understand why spaghetti is the default pasta people often use. It doesn't fit in a pot well. It doesn't work with a fork well. It's a very impractical thing. I prefer pieces of pasta that can be pierced more easily and then picked up with a fork. My favorite is trattole.

     I agree, cooking and eating spaghetti is a pain. I haven't cooked it in months. My personal go-tos are farfalle and cellentani.

     At the risk of sounding like Duke, we already knew that Bushie was one of those folks. I rather like having a pie-in-the-sky fundie on the forum. Jmfcst was too normal to make it work properly.

Bushie, what's your view on Pope Francis coming to speak to a joint session of Congress in September?

I'll be interested in what he has to say.  Personally, I'm pleased that he will be the first pontiff to address Congress in this fashion.  I'll be listening with an open mind with no prejudices.

     Are you aware that he rejects a literal interpretation of the Bible? Does that affect your opinion of the Bishop of Rome?

     A cheat meal defeats the point of trying to make real changes. It takes about three weeks to develop a habit. If you can eat healthily for three weeks straight, then it will become much easier to continue doing so. If you make a Braum's run to reward yourself for dieting, then you'll be back to doing that again and again and again....

     The bell pepper is in many ways a centerpiece of Spanish cooking. There's quite a bit that can be done with it. Too bad Bushie only knows it as a curiosity to pick up at whatever overpriced sitdown place he ends up at for the day.

     So the guy is still interviewing people tomorrow yet he extended a same-day job offer to Bushie for one of a very few open positions? That is simply not credible.

[Associate Justice PiT]

Smash, the interviewer mentioned $30,000 base salary for those wanting to get in the management track, which I was, so that's where the $30K came from.  The Sales Rep position itself is all commission.

Yes, and do you just get that Management position?? or do you need to perform in the sales rep position first before being promoted to the Management position??

I would have to start out in the sales position for a bit.

So basically you had an opportunity to get a Management position with a $30,000 base salary (which for all you know could actually be a draw), but in order to get that position you first had to succeed at a full commission sales job?  Is there a reason why you left that VERY IMPORTANT piece of information out initially?

     You're supposing that the promise of the management track was real. This was a people mill; there is no way the recruiter was telling the truth when he said there were only two openings. He was probably lying about a dozen other things as well, and management training is a common draw for these sorts of scams to hook people in.

[Associate Justice PiT]

Well, if he doesn't want to do Uber or pizza delivery, what about the post office idea that was floated here some time ago?  I forget if there was some fatal issue with that one.

     The fatal issue is that he ended up getting scammed when he tried to apply to work at the post office.
