Update XX: A Darn Good Judge of My Financial Situation

[King]

I've already got a LinkedIn profile, but honestly, I do not know how it works, so I never look at it.

But aren't you an IT genius that was prepared to pass the A+ Certification with no experience for a helpdesk job? How do you not get LinkedIn?

[King]

I don't like LinkedIn, but I understand how it works.

[King]

Stop posting? You lost your job when you defriended the Atlas. You'll lose your life next. RIP Bushie.

You could always make that money back by working a 10 minute shift at Walmart.

Glad to know you were able to find some NBA Basketball games that were worthwhile today even though there were no jobs.

[King]

how many naps today?

None, I've been watching NBA Basketball instead.

One, big nap doesn't count as "none."

Is zero a better term?  I seriously didn't take any naps today.

...you're not getting the joke here, pal.

You probably think NBA Basketball is boring.  The league used to be boring until the Oklahoma City Thunder came on the scene along with the world's best player Kevin Durant.

Has watching NBA players running up and down the court ever incited enough excitement out of you that you walked across the room?

Do you guys do a lot of your shopping on Amazon?

memphis, please

[King]

Bushie should order a life size sex doll off of Amazon and have it discretely shipped to his Tulsa apartment as a first purchase to stretch out those Amazon.com fingers. I don't think he could buy that in person at his Oklahoma Wal-Mart.

[King]

Congratulations, Bushie. I think you've earned a reward of a live size sex doll from Amazon.com, huh?

Even better than a dump.

Bushie will think about considering starting to breathe a week from now when his family has finished visiting. After he buys $100 of breathing equipment, of course.

Considering he likely has sleep apnea, he's probably going to need to buy breathing equipment.

[King]

I, too, Amazon searched for sex dolls for ODF and while the complete ladies are very expensive, he can acquire the vagina for less than $100. That is cheaper than most scam job applications! The full lady can be saved up for in time.

[King]

Wasn't 'e-commerce' Bushie's college major once upon a time?

He graduated with it, but it was Northwestern Oklahoma E-Commerce, circa-2003. So he knows how to sell items on Usenet.

[King]

Go to actual company's job sites. I posted this at the end of the last Update thread:

A guy who went to school for E-Commerce saying he doesn't think the Internet can replace face to face shopping interaction is like a dentist who doesn't believe in flossing.

Accounting is incredibly difficult. My cousins got her BS in 2005 and still hasn't passed all her CPA tests.

You could have made ecommerce work if you put effort into it. Web designer types make good money around here that I know. You just aren't a self starter.

Jesus, Jeff ... isn't this just horribly depressing to say? Don't you want to do something about it!?

It's definitely not a pleasant thing to say.  I am trying to do something about it.  I just don't know how to gain those qualities.  You can't just go to Walmart and pick them up on sale.  They take time to acquire and develop.  What would you suggest I do to develop those qualities?

You actually can go to Wal-Mart and pick them up on sale, by starting out as an Associate and working your way up through Wal-Mart management.

You want a great job handed to you and you work that way when you have a job.

Again, I NEVER said that.

Your actions say it. You worth yourself >$15/hr starting for no reason. You left another job in the past because you weren't getting frequent enough raises for no reason. You chased after scam jobs that promised big payouts for no reason.

You want a head start on everybody else.

There, you just said it. You want the great job handed to you. You already want to be upper middle class for your local area in starting salary.

I cancel EVERY piece of entertainment and live in the 1940's with nothing to do except sleep.

Ah yes, people in the 1940s were famous for doing nothing but sleep.

Once again you confuse us saying "$200 cable package is bad" as saying "$10 basic cable is bad" and "internet access is bad."

You're gluttonous. You either want it all or none.

[King]

Bushie, you need $15-20/hr for your lifestyle, but you're not worth $15-20/hr

Tough noogies.

[King]

Inspiring! This man stopped eating microwaved mac and cheese and switched to healthier homemade mac and cheese.

[King]

So making $7.25 an hour and having to take out of Mom's checkbook is out of the question, but making $0 an hour and having to take out of Mom's checkbook is just fine?

Bushie's all or nothing. Either he gets his $200 cable package and $15/hour or he's a 1940s Luddite with $0.

[King]

I think you would get better portion control eating eggs or mac and cheese at a restaurant than cooking it yourself. Bushie will probably make a 5 egg omelete and cook the whole box of elbow pasta.

[King]

Bushie could do a lot worse than eating 5 eggs.

Theoretically...
