Update XVIII: 15 Miles From Lunch

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Bushie you don't work for the Department of Defense. You work for a subcontractor that is a body mill.

I got a pleasant surprise early this morning. My boss sent out a mass text to all of us peasants saying that because of the roads today was optional.  He said it was our call, just be safe.  So, I stayed home today.  I was really dreading the 25 mile drive on ice, so I'm glad he sent out a mass text.  That's the sign of a good boss!!

Here are OKC's roads this morning. Go ahead ... go to oktraffic.org and look at the live camera feeds from their ITS. Cars are crawling along at only 60, maybe 70 miles per hour!



This isn't the sign of a good boss, and your quickly taking him up on his offer isn't the sign of a cautious employee. You're a lazy lump of a man who takes any opportunity he can grasp for a "snow day" ... as if you're 10 years old again.

Those roads and whatever "weather" you got are no hindrance to anyone, let alone someone who's grown up in this type of environment. You won't go in because you don't want to go in. And he sent a mass text because, as Gramps said, it's a body mill. This is his excuse not to manage basic and annoying people for the day.

Your opinion does not count.

Forget my opinion. Look at facts. You cannot disprove the live camera feeds or the ITS data that shows the roads were fine. Or do you live in a fantasy world where the data staring you in the face is "optional" for you, too? I guess that's why you're in the health you're in.

This is probably his way of testing whether you're dedicated to the position or not. But of course, you never would have thought about that. Good boss, indeed!

It's funny how J-Mann has gone from Bushie's savior and mentor to the Anti-Christ whose opinions don't count.

He's not worth it, Jesse.

You know what, I don't have to be ridiculed and mocked over a very trivial matter at best.  Nobody's opinion except mine and my boss's count.  Update is going on hiatus for a while.

When he RIP's you I want to hear how wonderful his opinion is.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

He's missed 3 days and worked 9.  That's a good 66% attendance rate.  In a body mill that might fly for a while.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Say what you will about missing work; telling J-Mann, someone who has literally called your former boss to vouch for you and has actually tried to help instead of simply making fun of you for the past half-decade, to basically F off is the more ludicrous and childish behavior here.

Yes, this tells us a lot about the heart inside of our godly Bushie.  Maybe God will wisper in his ear the screwing over a friend like Jesse is wrong.  If Bushie is the kind of person he wants to convert kids to, then heaven help the kids.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

He's missed 3 days and worked 9.  That's a good 6675% attendance rate.  In a body mill that might fly for a while.

I think he means he's worked 6 out of 9, missing 3.

Yes.

Eraserhead controls the thread, you can sit by and watch.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Where are you guys getting these ages from?  Thin air?

You're dodging the question.  If she's giving you a home and making dinner for you, are you at least doing the dishes afterwards?

Yes

I'm calling bullshinks here.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

I'm not sure they had "legal" ages back in those days, either and where did you get 14?

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

They wanted to get me in today, but I've missed too much work the past week so I need to put in some time before I go to the dentist.

Wait, no Saturday care?

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

That, if anything, would be my problem with your faith. You have so many abilities and so much latent potential. You just choose not to do anything with it.

There is no such thing as free will and personal responsibility in his faith. 

Oh, and watching Rudolph and Frosty is a bit 6 year old-ish, no?

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Well, the day is over!!  The power looks like it will be off all day.  All the contractors have been given the rest of the day off.

That would be great if you were a salaried worker who could afford to miss the hours.  You're not.  Stop celebrating.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

What he needs to do is his laundry and help his 97 year old Granny clean the house, so SHE can nap.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

52 of 80 possible hours worked since being hired. $6.50/hr effectively at this job.

bleeding money from Tulsa on the other end.

Really looking forward to what excuse Bushie comes up with to not cook his own dinner tonight! Should be good.

Meanwhile at Papa's house, the guy is going to work 60 hours this week, tend to the north forty, run the errands and grill food for him and Mama.  Poor Granny, Poor Papa.
