Update XVI: Sidejackin' it in the Train Room.

So, if small headache is Grade 3, is not having any pain at all still a Grade 1 Headache?

I never have no pain.  I'm always at least a grade 2, if not 3.

Christ.

[King]

His diet can't help his headaches either. His body probably ran out of enough B vitamins and magnesium to avoid them by age 10 and of course his family doesn't even want to try and treat the problem with anything but medication.

His constant hunger and pain is probably his body begging him to eat a banana or avocado and instead is getting stuffed with bacon cheeseburgers by the truckload, leaving him completely unsatisfied.

[King]

Bushie, when was the last time you've undergone blood testing?

[King]

I'll believe it when I see it.

[King]

But, home cooked B&E and M&C is a lot better than Braum's, McDonald's, and Wendy's...

No. Home cooked food is not inherently healthier than fast food. People only say that because generally home cooked food may mean more vegetables and smaller portions. That's not the case here. Your bacon and eggs or mac and cheese might as well be from Denny's.

11/hr in Oklahoma is pretty good

[King]

It was still a scam because it was unnecessary to purchase in order to apply at the post office.

[King]

I wonder if Bushie celebrated his first day with a quick trip to Braum's for his lunch break.

[King]

he just needs to invest in a george foreman grill so he can make healthy Grilled™ hamburgers

[King]

Maybe he should get a portable radio and headphones while he drafts to listen to baseball. That seems to keep him settled.

[King]

I do hope we get some characterization on his boss and co-workers. Ever since Russ Powers et al were written off Update, it's been lacking in well developed supporting characters.

Writers tried desperately to add some weed toking black friends to the cast that shared Bushie's idealism, but a las the star of our show had some creative differences.

[King]

Maybe Bushie broke up with Allison in a fever dream.

[King]

Pretty big decision on Allison's part. She's pretty much decided to be a spinster rather than get married and bring a Bushie Jr into this world.

[King]

And boy what a whale she will be JMann.

[King]

Eraser, there is no need to be worried at all.  I'm doing fine.  All I was doing is explaining what I'm doing.  How the heck did you take that as bad news?  Nobody in their right mind would deduce that from the information I provided.  That's the problem with the forum - you all take a random post that has no bad news anywhere in it and turn it into faux bad news and then run with it and never listen to me when I say everything is okay.

It's never good when Bushie engages speculation.

[King]

1. Bushie rushed through all CAD classwork
2. Didn't try fix his teacher's corrections on bad CAD work
3. Skipped the final project
4. Was out of work 5 months after graduating with no CAD work
5. Despite making his parents buy him a computer with AutoCAD, has already said he's rusty on the program, meaning he didn't bother to open it up and practice it on his own during the past 5 months

He's probably about as good at CAD as any of us here right now.

My supervisor today came to me and asked me to make my work shift in half hour increments.  What that means is instead of going in at 7:40, taking a 20-25 minute lunch and getting off at 4:05 or 4:10, he wants me to start at either 7:30 or 8:00 (my choice) and take either a half hour or hour lunch, thus getting off at 16:00, 16:30, or 17:00 depending on what time I go in.  I don't have to do the same shift everyday.  So, what I'm going to do is aim for the 7:30 start time with the half hour lunch and if I'm running late for whatever reason like this morning, I can start at 8:00.  Worst case scenario I can work an 8:30-17:00 shift if I'm running really late.  When I get more comfortable with what I'm doing, I could add in a 7:00-15:30 shift option.  Right now, though, my supervisor doesn't want me to come in too much before he does.  He normally gets in between 8:00 and 8:30.  The owner opens up the office at either 6:45 or 7:00 and there are a few employees who work 7:00-16:00.  This wasn't meant to get onto me, but just to make his records easier to keep track.

Quite a traumatic experience for you no doubt. Did he say anything about the military time?

[King]

Frame it. Don't spill any Diet Dr Pepper on it.

[King]

Man I'm still nervous that Bushie's supervisor is down on him.

[King]

The Onion steals an Update motif as a joke yet again:

[King]

Uh, Bushie, do you ever briefly relax while watching this Big Brother thing? Are there some attractive ladies on it?

I never briefly relax during the show and it doesn't spur it on, either.  I just watch for the entertainment value.  In fact, I haven't briefly relaxed in quite a while.  I'm trying to avoid that as I know it's not healthy to my Christian life.

You can't even do the one healthy thing that requires almost no effort?

And it's perfectly healthy.

If God wanted us to be healthy, he wouldn't have invented death.

[King]

While Christianity doesn't ban masturbation, you aren't allowed to fantasize about anybody other than your spouse so without Allison in the picture he's pretty much stuck.

[King]

The reason for that is that watching porn creates unrealistic expectations when you are lucky enough to get in the bedroom with your spouse.

Well, for Oklahomans, I suppose that's true.

[King]

lol dessert with every meal and ice cream on top

RIP BUSHIE
