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

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Yeah, it's pretty obvious he never finished the program. I just wish he'd give up the act now.

As brittain33 said, it's time to quit talking about it, me included.......cad is dead.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

My trainer had a meeting he had to attend so he gave us a 90 minute lunch.  I decided to take advantage and have a big lunch (Braum's), so a light dinner will be on the menu tonight.  I may just have a couple packages of Ramen Noodles.  I am running short on calories remaining, so I need to conserve.  I'm already kicking myself for having Braum's, but the best way to salvage the day is eating small tonight.

Scratch it:  myfitnesspal app shows I can only have 1 package of Ramen Noodles, not two.  My calorie goal is 2,300 and I have 460 left.  1 block is 380 calories.

RIP BUSHIE.......the track you're on is a fast one.....make amends to everyone, tell Jesus we said hi.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Bushie, I know you know how to make a ham sandwich. Put some fresh spinach in there next time. In addition to the vitamins, you'll get some much needed fiber.

It's times like these that our good friend opebo would remind us that despite his best intentions, memphis' idea of cuisine is exceedingly bland an unappealing.

I love spinach, but not on my sandwich.  But memphis' point is well taken.....

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

He's never going to change. We all know that.

Yep.  RIP.  I hope he puts a good word in for us with Jesus when he gets there.  We need it.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

I like when Bushie uses the term "finished" instead of "graduated".   There's a reason for it, right Bushie?

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

When are you going to call them?  Date and time, please.

I'm going to email them again first, but send it to my instructor and anyone else I need to.  I will call before the start of school on August 4 if I don't have an answer.

No phone service for the next 3 weeks?  Another excuse.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

...as an excuse to continue acting in ways that you know are wrong and that you have the power of will to avoid.

Forgive me, I am not well-versed in the theology here. Are you referring to the "power of will" as a theological or a psychological concept?

Why not both?  I'm the kind that believes that God grants people free will, including the freedom not to believe.  Bushie doesn't believe in free will.  He thinks it's God's will to order the bacon cheesburger instead of the double cheesburger, or when he loses his job or doesn't get selected, it was God's will for him not to have that job.  I find that thought process rather revolting.....I hope God's not mad I chose to make chicken salad for lunch instead of tuna, or under the Bushie Doctrine, God guided me to his choice.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

im guessing bushie didnt contact metrotech today.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

When are you going to call them?  Date and time, please.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

The presence of the black man in the Update hood seems to make Bushie nervous. 

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Mind you, I don't believe he sent one, but I'm waiting to hear if he received an answer. His refusal to call is still what's most puzzling.

QFT

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Did metrotech respond to your email?

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Why hasn't MetroTech responded?  It makes no sense.   

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Why hasn't MetroTech responded?  It makes no sense.   

It's a tough position for them to respond, when Jeffie never sent an e-mail. Most companies and schools have a policy that they must return responses within 24 hours

I sent the e-mail late Monday afternoon.  I'll be patient.

Call Aaron during your break.  She'll answer.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Have you tried calling Aaron?

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Have you tried calling Aaron?

I didn't bring her number with me today.

No worries, I PM'd it to you.....you're on l unch......so call

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Alas, no CADD info.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

If you Google his company youll find out that the employee reviews were horrible and almost everyone hate working there. Most viewed it as a scam and the pay scale is not what they said it would be.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

We are supposed to role-play for a while today and then maybe listen to other people taking inbound calls.  I'm hoping and expecting the role-play to give me a better idea on how to talk to my customers.  Bottom line, is I have no plans to leave this job.  I can't afford to go through another long, painful job search.

Why can't  you look for a better job now that you have a job?  I'm missing something.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Do what you need to do to make this work for the time being and keep looking for a job that allows you to be you.

He's already said he won't.  But not really why, except I think he's afraid to.  Quit watching Cardinals baseball and apply for real jobs that would make you happy, Bushie, while you collect your paycheck and before they burn you out and get rid of you.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

I'm going to my parents this weekend and we're going to talk about my strategy with the job.  I voiced my frustrations to my mother last night over the phone and she is concerned to be honest.  I don't want to leave this place, but if they think it would be the best thing for me then I would strongly consider it.  Ultimately, it's my decision, but I'll listen to everyone's advice.

So, RIP TULSA too?

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

He hasn't  made a peep on the internets today, so I'm guessing he missed work.  RIP.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

This is just like the movie Groundhog Day.......I can't f[inks]ing believe it.  Even if you shat your pants in the middle of a call and barfed on their carpeting you should have gone.

He would have been sent home.  Clearly this buttgravy bug is contagious.

Being sent home is preferable.  At least he tried to work.

What Dukey said.  It's the garbage he filled his gut with.  He doesn't mention momma, daddy, granny, anyone else being affected.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

If this affects my job then so be it.

RIP engagement, but eh, so be it
