As Bushie's World Turns (The Update Thread)

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

In regards to him converting to Mormonism, it's not really any less likely than I would've said the odds would be in 2010 of me going to a church in the next two years with faith healing rituals and where the pastor once preached while holding a snake. And Bushie is obviously easily led so...

Hey remember my screenplay I was talking about writing? I guess the protagonist moving to SLC could be the sequel!

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Are you going to evangelize to Mormons?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Bushie is going to marry a Mormon girl and convert.  I can feel it.

You mean get engaged and then break up after he converts again?

Most of the obvious holes in this latest story have been covered, but here's one in particular that stood out to me:

It sounds as if Xerox was tying pay to performance and $8.75 was the true minimum, and with good numbers one could earn $12/hour for that period, or even higher. However Bushie kept claiming he was offered that supervisor position because his numbers were so great. So why would he be making $8.75 then? By that standard he'd probably be getting above $12/hour.

What I'm guessing happened is he was fired again (or did poorly and was paid only the minimum) and the "new job" he was looking at in SLC is another one of those MLM scams.

...most of my high school class stayed in South Carolina for the 4 years because they didn't want to change scenery, but I went to North Carolina...

Wow, so exotic!  Was there a culture shock?  Hard to get used to the food?

Just kidding, good for you for going to university out-of-state, even if next door.  Though keep in mind this option is only open to the wealthy.

My family certainly wouldn't be considered wealthy, though granted due to reciprocity agreements going to college in Minnesota for North Dakota residents is still considered in-state.

Is this a job with an actual Aetna office in Layton?

It's not a small technicality.  Putting all of your eggs in one basket, just to have that basket fall to the ground means you don't have any eggs left.  Putting most of your eggs in one basket means you still have eggs left.  It's not a technicality - it's a huge difference.  Time after time you've been dishonest with the forum, and your story never stays the same.

All of a sudden your sure-fire plan falls through and WHAMO! there's a sudden back-up plan.  But we can't know what the company is?  For someone who compulsively shares details of his life with the forum, that seems strange.  So why all of a sudden is there secrecy with this company and none of the previous ones?  Is this another Rainbow incident?

Alright, fine, I'll disclose the name of the company - Aetna Insurance.  Jr. Web Developer for Aetna Insurance located in Layton, Utah which is 12 miles south of downtown Ogden.  This position has been developing since Xerox was still in play back in early August.  It has slowly materialized and I was actually accepted a week ago, but I just kept it under my hat because I really wanted to go to Kansas.  Since I am not going to Kansas, I am going to Utah, instead.

Either you're lying to us or someone is lying to you.

Here's why!

• The three Aetna Insurance offices in Utah are located in Salt Lake City, Sandy, and Taylorsville. None of these are very close to Ogden or Layton.
• Looking at the Aetna website, jobs with the prefix "junior" seem to be exclusively for college interns.
• There is no "junior" position that exists in their web team.
• Aetna doesn't call the position "Web Developer", they call it "Web Engineer."
• None of Aetna's three Utah offices are currently hiring Web Engineers, or any other jobs in the IT field for that matter, besides a few random non-web IT jobs in SLC.
• Oh, actually, the entire Web Engineer team is based solely out of their national headquarters in Connecticut, so there's literally no reason for them to ever be offered in Utah or anywhere else.

You will be interviewing for a non-existent job in a non-existent office, and if the job were to exist it would effectively be a minimum wage internship, and instead of being at the non-existent office near Ogden it would actually be in Hartford, Connecticut, on the other side of the country.

edit- it appears i've been ninja'd by others doing their own research, but i think most of this is still valid.

Ha, I thought you were going to bed. We discussed this in IRC which is why I brought it up. Regardless good work, your research here is far more thorough and does provide proof beyond a doubt this is not real and does also debunk his excuse for the office not being in Layton.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

I'm out of chat now and now heading to bed anyway. See you guys tomorrow. I imagine there will be quite the drama here in the morning.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

I'm going to speak no more of the job in Utah until I get there and get started.

Yes, this is the standard pattern.  People start poking holes in the logic of Bushie's narrative, and he says he's going to stop answering questions about the topic in question.  For example:

I'm not answering any more questions about Salt Lake City, so your suspicions will have to remain just that.  I'm not going to do anything to prove or dispel them.

Then the next step is that he says he's going to lock the thread for a while, if not forever.  E.g.:

link

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Per advice from a certain poster in authority, I am locking this thread. I'm not getting through to you nor you to me.  I will continue posting sans update.

I am going to lock this thread for a while.  It's become boring even for me, so it's going under lock and key.

Then he'll wait until people forget or lose interest in the particular plot hole in question, and then reopen the thread.  It's the exact same script every single time.

That's not the first time everyone told Bushie how wrong he is and he just goes into extreme cognitive dissonance either, see when he was selling vacuums for example. Actually basically every single time this has happened the rest of the forum has been right and he has been wrong.

I love the reoccurring themes throughout this drama. BushKE has taken yet another scam job or is lying to us altogether and yet continues to use the same tactics he has used in the past to divert attention from the mistakes he has once again made knowing that the forum had predicted the downfall before it even happened.

For the sake of his parents, I truly hope he isn't just using this as an excuse to visit jamespol for a few weeks on their bill. But it's pretty clear this job he claims to have does not exist, which means he either doesn't have the job, took a job with some other call center or vacuum sales company, or is just making up an excuse to visit his buddy. I don't see any other outcome.

Oh that explains why he's so big on Utah. Well it wouldn't be the first time he screwed over his family, see signing them up for Ameriplan.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

I just have to say Bushie is the worst cover story fabricator ever, such as the excuse he made after being shown there is no way the job could be near Layton. After being proven that the job can't be in Utah at all he basically just dodges the whole thing.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

I don't know guys, just a search for Aetna Salt Lake City reveals some jobs with company in the Salt Lake City area and plenty of them involve web development.  Maybe Bushie isn't lying this time.

Either way, I won't be surprised.  Hopefully the writers have a better twist coming.

Huh? I'm not seeing any, just some non-IT stuff Bushie is obviously not qualified for and IT jobs that are way beyond web design and he isn't qualified for either. And as BK noted Aetna does all their web design at the HQ in Connecticut.

The only insurance company jobs I can see Bushie being qualified for are customer service (in which case he's not qualified, because we all know how well he does at call centers) or some low level bookkeeping/data entry position. And if this is the latter, why doesn't he just say so instead of coming up with all these elaborate stories and excuses?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Bushie, what's the pay?  (Don't be coy with this, you've told us that type of info and more before.)

Hmmm he answered this earlier but seems to have deleted it...

They don't register cars and drivers' licenses at the same place in Utah?

I had to change my license and car registration to Minnesota at difference places.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Bushie, you should start going to shows. Salt Lake City actually has a really good scene. Going to shows and dancing is a very physically exhausting workout. I usually take a shower whenever I get home from one, even if I'm going to bed right afterwards, because I am that sweaty.

Work went well today. I really enjoy what I do. It is a joy to go to work each day.

I won't be able to check my weight for another couple weeks.  I need to buy a scale, but I want to wait until the next paycheck (October 12).

Bathrooms in the malls around you don't have those quarter-activated scales?
