Update XVIII: 15 Miles From Lunch

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

bushie it sounds like you are just going to be a burden on poor granny.

I have to have a place to stay and I can't afford rent at two apartments, and I am not going to sublease the Tulsa Apartment, so I can't see how you can say something so outrageous, when you know darn well that will not be the case.

Keeping the Tulsa apartment is smart since this job is only 3 months........but Granny will be cooking 3 meals a day, extra laundry, extra cleaning, extra utilities, and your constantly visiting never ending supply of wayward aunts and uncles to make dinners for.  Poor Granny, indeed.

I've seen Holiday Inn's with less people coming through the doors.  Poor Granny

Is it appropriate to post a photo of someone without their permission?

His facebook profile is public........all public, so it's fair game.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

So far, neither the drug test nor the background check have come back, yet.  There is still time before 1700 EDT for them to come in today.  My recruiter is in Maryland, so I have to go by Eastern Time with this stuff.

It concerns me you haven't received the material either.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

The biblical literalism stuff is boring.........please move on.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

I wouldn't call Bushie crazy for this as it's a common cultural line of thinking in the South. It's premillenialism. Jmfcst is a postmillennialist, a more practical yet nihilistic approach.

As far as I can tell, the determining factor in whether an Evangelical is post or pre is whether or not they are a powerful wealthy male with a hot wife. Jmfcst is fairly well off so he doesn't mind have to die in a bloody 1000 year Armageddon as atonement for his splendor.

A postmillennialist?!  Oh, King.  May you live forever.  But, have you not read?

I do not subscribe to the “Left Behind” scenario when the Rapture occurs at any moment and is followed by a 7 year “Tribulation” where the AntiChrist reigns and is rejected by some who then convert to Christianity and are killed.  That is called the “Pre-Trib” rapture.  Those who believe in the “Left Behind” series are pre-tribbers.

(note:  I consider pre-tribbers my brothers in Christ, this disagreement is NOT a matter of salvation)

Instead, my belief is called “Pre-Wrath Rapture”… so I am not “pre-trib” “mid-trib” or “post-trib”, rather I am known as “pre-wrath”…In the “pre-wrath” scenario, the “Tribulation” doesn’t start until mid-way into the final 7 years and the “Tribulation” ends prior to the end of the 7 years.  The church is not raptured until sometime during the second half of the 7 year, immediately following the “Tribulation”.  Christians having the Holy Spirit will reject the AntiChrist and many will be put to death.  The rest of the world will be deceived by the AntiChrist.  But before all Christians are killed, the Rapture occurs and the Wrath of God begins to fall on the earth.  There is no one saved after the Rapture.  Anyone “left behind” has no hope.

…I know…it is a sad picture.

Welcome home jfmsct.

Did your work documents arrive yet?

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Did your work documents arrive yet?

The account manager is out of the office today.  I should get them around lunch time tomorrow.  My results came back good, though.  My recruiter had to take her daughter to the doctor today and she's still not in the office, yet, but her coworker does expect her in.  I hate a wasted day like this...

This makes me nervous.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

This is the CAD certificate all over again! RIP job

This is why I didn't want him to sublet his Tulsa apt.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

we have company coming through for the first half of November, so I won't be able to use the computer with the AutoCAD until they all leave on November 15.

RIP Granny.  Now I see why Our Dear Friend doesn't feel he's overwhelming Granny.  His whole family takes advantage of her so it's just normal everyday living.  Ugh.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

I only had 3 sandwiches instead of my normal 4.

Have you surpassed 295 pounds yet?  Don't lie.  I'm guessing you're just a couple away from 300.

Yeah poor granny, and I mean that seriously. Whenever my family gets together we never have it at my 84 year old grandmother's house. Instead we have it at my aunt and uncle's where generally me and my uncle will do all the grilling, while Nana sits and relaxes. And seriously, what kind of assholes feel entitled to come through for the entire first half of November to impose on granny? I've honestly never even heard of the way Bushie's family does things, with the exception of some of the radical evangelical beliefs, only me and a couple of my uncles dare question that.

It's not one set of company.  It happens to be three different families.  We have it over at Grandma's because 1) Mom and Dad live in a trailer so we don't have the space and 2) Her house is big enough so we don't step on each other, and 3) We are the only family in Oklahoma and we're central to everybody else.  Also, they don't impose on Grandma.  They come mainly to check on her and make sure she's doing okay.  I get offended when people think we're imposing on her especially after I've explained it several times.  We are not leeches or moochers.

Granny is never going to say it's an imposition to have people in her home for half a month, but it has to be, it just has to be.  Ugh. 

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Memphis, I wasn't feeling real well and wasn't real hungry so I let Dad clean up the meat.  I only had 3 sandwiches instead of my normal 4.  The malt I had at lunch kind of upset my stomach a bit.

RIP Diet.

RIP PANTS.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

You had to take Mama with you to buy pants?

...

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

1439 is evening?

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Granny has been cleaning and cooking all day, no doubt.  I'm tired just thinking about all that poor woman did today prior to the invasion.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Lazy fucker is lazy.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

What did Granny fix for dinner last night?

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Guys, granny's cooking, he's napping, then relax with the extended family.  Let's just leave him alone today, eh?

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Bushie, how often do you use a check book to pay for things?  (Or would you, if your parents weren't already paying for everything?)

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Jesus, Hokey, breathe a bit. Your becoming Inks-like here.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Btw, a 6.5 grade headache should be a chance card.

Chocolate induced?

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

bushie have you surpassed 300 pounds?

295 and rising, Mitty.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

I'm home a little early due to a slow day.  I finished my project at 1430 and basically twiddled my thumbs and lurked on here.  This is the calm before the avalanche.  All of our work will start coming in before Thanksgiving, then we'll be screaming for these slow days.  I'm getting paid til 1700, but got off at 1545.  Another new guy starts on Monday.  Like I said, we're slow today, but that won't last long.  We'll have enough work to last through March, maybe into April.

Let go early again.  RIP JOB.   You can quote me in your sig when I'm proven correct.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Dude just sleep and eat and quit lying about auto cad.
