Update XXI: "Scientific Facts Are Not Hard And Fast Rules."

[WalterMitty]

kudos bushie for applying at macys.  im assuming you would get to wear your tie to work there.

[WalterMitty]

why does bushie only go after temp jobs?

[WalterMitty]

why does bushie only go after temp jobs?

They're usually the easiest to find.

incorrect.

retail jobs are the easiest to find.  what was that you said about desperate times?

[WalterMitty]

when does bushie give up and stop pretending to care about things like health, diet, employment etc?  when does he take up residence in the brown family mobile home forever?

[WalterMitty]

Were you ever physically attracted to Allison?

[WalterMitty]

all of this trumpet nonsense makes me glad yet again that im an atheist.

superstition.  pure and simple.

[WalterMitty]

so the diet is officially rip?

[WalterMitty]

it is unamerican to diet on days that papa doesnt work...or on nights before his days off.

bushie, do you have any stickers on your car?

[WalterMitty]

Bushie's gonna be back at 290 in 72 hours.

He never left.

[WalterMitty]

Because he already weighs 309 pounds.

^^^^

just imagine how much food is being eaten at the brown family mobile home this weekend...

[WalterMitty]

bushie is very reluctant to tell him family that he wants to lose some weight.

they will likely think he has been brainwashed by moochelle obummer's socialist unamerican war on good country cookin'

[WalterMitty]

I made it back to Tulsa early.  There's a little uncertainty in the weather in Oklahoma City the next couple of days, so I decided to play it safe and come on back home.  I will postpone my recruiter interview for a couple weeks.

Why are you postponing the interview?

Because there is a chance of a snow shower.

[WalterMitty]

What will likely happen re: reaching 300 lbs is that Bushie will leave Update in a huff, and then two-three weeks later will try and casually mention it hoping nobody will notice.

I can see it now:

"The hiatus of Update is over for the time being. I have in fact gotten a job, at Wal-Mart.  It is not the management job that Bacon King wanted me to apply for, but it is a job nonetheless.  Despite my Tourette's, the interviewer seemed impressed with my communication skills and even offered me a job in human relations: right out front greeting the customers!  The starting pay for this job is $10/hr, with opportunities to move up the corporate ladder based on my performance.

As for the weight question, I'm sitting at 302.3 as of yesterday's weigh-in, which is down from the 310 a few weeks ago."

dont scoff at $10/hr.  that is a fortune compared to what he is making now.

[WalterMitty]

Resume the water drinking? When was the last time you drank any water? And don't you think that might have something to do with your headache?

He didn't want to alarm his parents by drinking water in front of them. Thankfully he is now back alone and free to drink water as he pleases. Hopefully one day the Lord will give him the strength to come out to his parents as a water drinker.

Correct.  If god wanted us to drink plain water he wouldn't have invented hfcs.

[WalterMitty]

must be a big nap day for odf.

[WalterMitty]

so, bushie, planning on moving back into the family trailer next month?

[WalterMitty]

enough talk of bushie's nonsense religion.

let's talk about his nonsense diet and his job search.

[WalterMitty]

bushie when was the last time (if ever) you were employed for a whole calendar year (jan 1-dec. 31)?

[WalterMitty]

what happened with the mass text from your brother in christ?

[WalterMitty]

bushie, as someone who works in a grocery store...you should take a job if offered.

yeah, it isnt the greatest.  the pay isnt good.  but....job security.  you need that.

[WalterMitty]

congrats, bushie.

while it isnt a glamorous job, it is a real job.  it isnt some scam or people mill.

[WalterMitty]

it is too bad that you are basically starting a week before opening.

the grocery store i work at opened on oct. 26.  i began working/training on july 7th (at another location).

all employees went through a long training period.

[WalterMitty]

bushie did you clean up the meet after last night's sloppy joes?

[WalterMitty]

The funny things are:

1-Bushie's credit report is no doubt garbage and
2-Unlike many people with bad credit, most of it is primarily his fault.

Bushie isn't like the people with sob stories about being foreclosed in 2008 after being laid off during the worst of the recession or people who had to declare bankruptcy after massive medical bills, his credit black marks are all due to him not being able to hold a job for more than a few months and awful decision making on top of that. Take the short sale of his house, which could've been completely avoided had he never bought the house that he never needed in the first place. So if they still hire after the credit check, I wonder what they are looking for. Granted I know it's common that the only employers who tend to care a lot about credit score are financial industry ones but then you wonder why this one is checking in the first place.

Actually, I just checked my credit score a couple of weeks ago and I'm sitting pretty good.  It's by no means glamorous, but it is not garbage, either.  The worst problem I have is a nearly maxed out credit card.  The short sale on the house doesn't even show up, so my realtor was right, it must have dropped off my credit after a year or so, which would have been last August.  I don't care to release the actual score here, naturally, but it's not that bad.  It could use some improvement, but I would be able to sign for a major purchase like furniture or a car without needing a cosigner.

Bushie, a short-sale will still show up on the Credit Report.  What you looked at is a Consumer report which takes less into consideration than a full report.

A full credit report has three bureau's and goes back much further in time, the short-sale absolutely will show up when you look for a car, try to buy a home, etc, as banks get a much fuller picture when they pull credit than you do through a consumer report.

We had this discussion back in 2013, we're not going to go over it again.

Bushie, I'm a loan officer at a mortgage company, I know how these things work....

you arent in charge.  god is!
