Update XV: Stuck Inside of Tulsa with the Oklahoma City Blues Again

[Joe Biden 2020]

You are financially, physically, and mentally dependent upon your parents. That is not acting like a 32 year old man. 

You have absolutely no idea what goes on in my real world, so you have absolutely ZERO right to condemn me for being "childish".

[Joe Biden 2020]

I am done with this update for right now.  I am not going to get into a back and forth with anybody over an argument they can't win.  It's not fair to them.  I am going to focus on what I need to do to make myself a more successful Godly man.

[Joe Biden 2020]

Oh, look, Inks responded?  Should I respond back?  Nahh, I'll let him continue his baseless and unwarranted attacks if it makes the kid feel better.  You may be a better person than me, but I can still call you kid.

Baseless? Unwarranted? Dude, you constantly create debt, call it your own, hock it on your parents to pay, and then take credit for that. You're not the Federal Reserve - you're a manchild in Oklahoma who refuses to take responsibility and always inserts some caveat whenever you supposedly do ("it's not entirely my fault...", "nobody's 100% perfect...", "Sure, I've made mistakes, but..."). These are obvious statements that don't have to be stated and usually only are when the person in question is absolutely, fundamentally 100% to blame. You just do it to try to make yourself feel better and trick others into having sympathy for your own perpetuated faults.

Have you ever paid off a major credit card or loan you've taken out in full? And I mean with money you earned from an employer, not money that your parents gave you in the first place or for cutting the grass for grandma. Now you're wasting even more borrowed money! Guess where that debt's going to end up? How old is your dad? You're single-handedly adding years to his retirement date; even when he's eligible for Social Security, he's going to have to be working at least part-time to keep his 40 year-old manchild's worthless student loan debt from ruining a future that you've already thrown in the trash with all of those excuses you make. But of course, you have ample money!

Stop borrowing money. You don't need it, you don't deserve it and you haven't earned it - not even the privilege to borrow money. You should be blacklisted from ever borrowing another red cent, and so should your parents until they learn to tell you no. They're already spending enough money to feed two people, and if you can't make it on your own, then the least you could do is wallow on back home so they don't have to foot the bill for yet another self-aborted attempt at success.

Stop making excuses. It's self-centered as hell to think that you can blame God for all of your failures. It's you - all you; the universe ain't out to get you and it ain't got no divine plan for you which revolves around all of the failures you've propagated. Laziness, excuses and convenience: that's your "divine plan". Stop blaming employers for not putting up with your shitty work ethic, and stop blaming scammers for scamming such a gullible person. Maybe if you actually had to earn your money to make ends meet and keep a roof over your head, you wouldn't be so impulsive to go beg family for hundreds or thousands of dollars to throw away on useless endeavors and scams. The only thing that's going to help you is to be completely, absolutely, cut-the-f[inks]-off from free money.

Again, you HAVE to understand I am doing the best job I can right now.  I am actively searching for a job and nobody can deny that I am.  I have three very good leads that I'm about to leave right now to investigate one of them.  You have absolutely no right to tell me I am acting like a worthless bum.  There is no way I am.  And, also, NEVER MOCK MY FAITH.....  I want you guys to just SHUT UP.  My life is none of your business even if I do post about it.

[Joe Biden 2020]

Guys, things are not how I want them, but that doesn't mean they are horrible and pitiful right now.  I've made mistakes, but that doesn't make me a horrible manchild.  I am doing the absolute best job I can trying to get out of this current situation.  Now, about my faith.  You have to realize that God is the best multitasker in the world.  He is concerned about my everyday needs and desires, even when I screw up.  He will help me through them.  That is GUARANTEED!!!  Nobody can deny He will help me.  He can take care of the world's problems at the same time.  So, please DO NOT EVER mock my faith.  My faith is genuine and it is real and it is active.  My God is a good God and He is in control and concerned about EVERY little detail of my life.

[Joe Biden 2020]

I want you guys to just SHUT UP.

i mean this in the nicest way possible - but you should take your own advice on this one.

please.
for the good of everyone.

You're not kidding...  I'm trying...

[Joe Biden 2020]

I'm curious as to what sort of job other Update fans think Bushie could hold down successfully. I'm not especially sympathetic to his case at this point, but it is clear to me that he is hopelessly unemployable. I say that not with the purpose of insulting him but merely to state a fact that seems clear enough.  He can't help who he is, and it's sad his family can't grasp it.

All I can say is I'm trying the best I can to get a job and I believe I'll have one before too long.  I'm not taking your post as an insult, just that it is incorrect.

[Joe Biden 2020]

Bushie, is there a specific job you would like to get?

Bushie?

Sorry, I was looking for a job and got caught up in the time.  I would prefer a CAD job, but as Memphis pointed out, I can't exactly be picky right now, so I'm applying to customer service jobs, as well.

What I mean by three good leads is leads that are in the middle of the interview phase or awaiting the final decision, jobs that I feel I have a good chance of getting.  I do not count jobs that I have only applied to as leads.  Naturally, all I can do is apply and do my best on the interviews.  I cannot ultimately make their decision for them, otherwise I would have gotten that job in March right after I finished school in Oklahoma City.  I'm confident that one of these jobs will come through for me.

[Joe Biden 2020]

Bushie, is there a specific job you would like to get?

Bushie?

I certainly hope he's going for CADD jobs so that his certificate (assuming he's received it by now?) wasn't worthless.

Jeff, did you ever get the certificate, out of curiosity?

Surprisingly (not surprisingly) I haven't.  I keep watching for it, but then either Monday or yesterday in my e-mail, I received notification that he just finished grading a couple of assignments.  The school year just ended last Thursday, I believe, so maybe he's just now having a chance to really close down the school year.  He'll have to grade quick, because school starts for the 2014-2015 year in less than two months (early August) and he's got a lot of revamping and rewriting of the curriculum to do before August rolls around.

I haven't checked the grades in quite a while, so I couldn't tell you how I did on those assignments, officially.

[Joe Biden 2020]

Why on earth did you post something from my Facebook?  Do you seriously think it's perfectly acceptable to post information from Bushie's Facebook?

[Joe Biden 2020]

Why are you speaking in the third person?

I was trying to make a point of my Facebook versus other Facebook accounts.

Anyway, I did sleep a good chunk of the day, but that was just because I could not get going today.  Everybody has those days where they just can't do anything.  I went to a meeting with a recruiter this morning at 9:30 in Midtown Tulsa, but when I came home, I was so sleepy that I had to take a nap.  This was about 10:30.  I woke up about 13:00, ate lunch and did a little job search, but still could not keep my eyes open, so I laid back down from 14:00-14:30.  I got up and did a little more job search, but still could not stay awake, so I laid down from 15:15-15:55 and got up and did a little more job search while watching the news until 17:00.  I am still extremely tired and feel I could fall asleep right away.  I'm trying to be a little productive this evening since I wasn't too productive today, but I am yawning pretty big right now.  I should turn in early tonight so I can get a good night's sleep and have a better day tomorrow.  I still keep monitoring my resources I can apply to, but in the spotty day today, I haven't applied anywhere.

[Joe Biden 2020]

At this point, you've made it implicitly clear that it is acceptable.

That's true, I haven't been consistent in being angered about this practice.  I'll take the blame for that one.

[Joe Biden 2020]

I'm still yawning almost uncontrollably and my stomach is starting to hurt, so I'm going to take some Tylenol and go to bed.  I don't have any place I have to go tomorrow, so it will give me several good hours in front of the computer looking for a job and making/answering phone calls.

[Joe Biden 2020]

Good Thursday Morning! I slept very well after about 22:00 last night. I didn't get up until 9:15 this morning. I feel much better this morning than I did yesterday. I am ready to get started again on the job hunt this morning. I'll probably get started around 10:30. Goal for today: No naps... That's a pitiful goal I know, but I feel bad after yesterday's waste of a day. Make it a good Thursday!!

[Joe Biden 2020]

Bushie, why don't you respond to what Adam said?

After I posted this morning, I told myself no Update at all today, even responding to criticism.

Yet you're still posting in the thread...

But, I'm not providing updates.  I did not say I would not post in the thread, just that I won't provide an update.

Which is fine, since you're trolling elsewhere.

Meh, just talking politics.

I meant on you FB

Oh, ha, just updating my concerned friends on how I'm doing.  It could be seen as trolling, I guess, but it's an honest assessment of how I'm doing today.

Back to your earlier question, I have never been diagnosed or seen for sleep apnea, though I do have that on the list to discuss with him at my next appointment in late September.  I sleep decently at night, but I am still quite groggy during the day.

Isn't this post sort of an update? .

Okay, okay, you win.

[Joe Biden 2020]

Being groggy all day long isn't normal. You should see someone about that. It isn't as if you aren't getting enough sleep!

I've got it on the list of things to bring up at my next appointment.  My next appointment is not until late September, but I've got it on the list.

I was very groggy all morning, but I got some lunch and a 44 oz Dr Pepper about 13:30 to get some sugar in me and I've felt better since then.  I did take a short nap this morning, but I've been by far more productive today, especially in the past hour.

[Joe Biden 2020]

Are you diabetic? You might not want to wait until September to get this checked out.

I have been tested for diabetes every six months for the past two years and I have not even been close to diabetes.

What happened to no Updates?  Seriously, man?  After all the trouble I went through to help you avoid the Mondale stuff?  What a waste.

Yeah, I know, it didn't last long.  It lasted until approximately 15:30 CT.  I'm trying not to post any really personal information that could be used as negative fodder.

[Joe Biden 2020]

44oz of pop isn't that much.

Considering it was probably 20-25% ice.

[Joe Biden 2020]

I have drank entire 2 liters of soda in one sitting, so I will withold judgement .

I can't do that much...  My most in one sitting is probably 50 oz. with ice.  That's a refill of a half full 32 oz.  44 oz. with no ice I cannot do.  I have to have the normal amount of ice.  Otherwise, I'm up half the night...

[Joe Biden 2020]

I want Bushie to drink 44 oz of Red Bull and report back.

That's one I thing I do not drink - energy drinks.  I've seen too many people on the news dying of heart attacks from those things.

[Joe Biden 2020]

I'm trying to stay silent, but I wanted to give a quick update on my final grades for CADD school this past school year.  Averaging all the courses together, I will come out of the program with a 78%.  The lowest was 76% and the highest was 80%.  That's not too awfully bad.  I felt I could have done better, but I am pleased with where I ended the school year 3 months ago.
