Update XX: A Darn Good Judge of My Financial Situation

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

You know it's a real shame Bushie does sleep so much. Otherwise he could get a job as a train conductor, a job that usually pays $70-80k a year and often hires high school dropouts. But "not falling asleep" is one of the few qualifications.

Bushie have you ever considered doing the Insanity Workout? https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=205777.0

OK Bushie here's a challenge for you:

I'm going to walk to the Walker Art Center for some Ingress stuff. Google Maps puts that distance at 1.5 miles. I am going to WALK, not drive. So walking two ways is 1.5 miles. I suppose I could take public transportation back but I haven't in the many times I've walked there. So that's three miles, not counting my walking around the sculpture garden for Ingress. We'll ignore that for now.

I challenge you to do the same. Walk 1.5 miles to somewhere and back.

Also I'll point out it's currently 66F in Tulsa and 29F in Minneapolis.

Hey Bushie do people at your church raise their hands during the songs or spread them to the sides? Today I sat near a cute girl that was doing the latter and sort of shaking around. I'd assume the people at your church aren't as "mobile" though.

Some do, some don't.  We don't discourage it.  It all depends on how the Spirit is moving them at the time.  I do myself, on occasion.

Do people wear hoodies and jeans?

Don't be silly. This is Oklahoma after all: http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2015/01/12/hoodie_ban_oklahoma_republican_proposes_bill_to_outlaw_wearing_hoods_in.html.

Actually, that bill has been withdrawn and will not be heard.

Many of us, including myself, wear jeans to church and if it's really cold, you'll see a few hoodies.  Hoodies aren't as commonplace in the churches as jeans are, but I don't see anything wrong with them.

Any band shirts?

I know I said I would turn down the sales job from this morning, but I did not.  Here's why.  There is no end in sight to the CAD job search.  I need income.  I need a filler job until I find a CAD job.

You're going to make literally $0 at this sales job.

1. The job has a base salary

And supposedly so has every other sales job Bushie has had in the past.

2. Don't tell Bushie that he's completely hopeless, that's not going to help him. By all means criticize him and tell him how he can improve, but telling them that he's going to fail no matter what isn't helpful.

Bushie has as much chance of being succesful at a sales job as I do of performing a succesful heart surgery. Saying that is not a swipe at me or Bushie. Just a fact.

In other news, I just got home from the interview.  Can you say BUST?  She said she would let me know within a MONTH...  Yeah, I'm not holding out hope for that one.

That's a better sign than hiring you immediately. It likely means it's a Legit job with a Legit company and they're taking their time to find the best applicant because hiring for a Legit Job is a monumental decision.

The writers are setting it up so he gets this job, but declines it because he had already accepted a FAST CASH NOW job in the meantime.

So odds on this actually happening now?

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?

Wow. LOL.

But Bushie actually listened to advice and made the right decision. This is truly an Update milestone. I'm curious about the ad now too, link?
