Update XVIII: 15 Miles From Lunch

[King]

I think I am going to spend a little while on my AutoCAD while I watch the second half of Georgia vs. Kentucky.

Just a little time... the 2nd half of a 56-24 game between two schools you've never been within a 500 mile radius of is more important

[King]

I've never been sent home early for a job.  Even at a new job when the boss training me has run out of things to do or time to train me, they would just have me hang out.

Not. A. Good. Sign.

[King]

Would you just give it a chance and not take one little bity thing and blow it totally out of proportion?  You cannot accurately predict failure based on this.  If it becomes a trend, then maybe, but not off one incident.  You have to trust me here.  I know more about this job than you do and I know my boss better than you do.  So, just shut up and let me work.

You have the tendency to understate. That's why we have to take hints "out of proportion" because it's usually right.

Remember, your reports were glowing of how wonderful your last job was with your boss "laughing at your mistakes" until reality set in and your boss blew up at you and gave you a negative performance review.

damn that caesar chicken sandwich does look good:



Unfortunately, Bushie doesn't like chicken. I guess he can have the caesar burger, but that's less appealing:

Too much vegetables for our friend Bushie. Not enough bacon, either

[King]

Bushie always has a headache, HockeyDude. He is genetically disposed to them, but unlike most people with this problem, he doubles down on high sugar consumption, dehydration, and a sedentary lifestyle to make sure his headaches are constant and as painful as possible because he loves them apparently.

There's definitely an S&M kink to Bushie's underlying character.

[King]

It's sad that Lief has to post those parentheticals so our protagonist knows what we're talking about.

[King]

You're wasting your time, gents. Bushie is going to eat excess amounts of salt and sugar while keeping water and nutrients in moderation. There is absolutely nothing wrong with giving himself headaches. He knows he's going to have to cut back on headaches eventually but you cannot expect him to quit headaches cold turkey. He will continue to enjoy his headaches and maybe even an occasional chocolate migraine on weekends. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it.

[King]

He's waiting for you to forget, Smash.

[King]

The lump on Bushie's brain is not a tumor. He is a guardian angel, or so he says. Nevertheless, he's delivered messages specifically from Jesus not to have it checked out or get it removed. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with listening to the voice in your head coming from the lump in your brain causing your headaches.

[King]

Pat, I realize some inmates are buff.  I guess I could eat that little amount of food, but it would take a heck of a lot of patience and discipline realizing I will never satisfy the hunger.

Well, you could satisfy that hunger by filling your stomach with celery, broccoli, carrots, spinach, etc., etc. But a las.

I don't think any of us would be able to satisfy ourselves eating nothing but ham and bread. That's why you are fat and we're not.

[King]

If Bushie got started on the path to righteousness, he wouldn't want to stop. If he just hunkered down and forced himself to eat vegetables with every meal for two weeks and walk 30 minutes every day for two weeks, 90% chances are he wouldn't have to force himself by week three. 

He has yet to take the first step in either regard in 32 years on Earth. He doesn't get that the reason he doesn't want to eat healthy and exercise is because he doesn't eat healthy and exercise. If he just tried, his body and taste buds would adjust.

The only way it changes is if someone were to intervene in his life in OKC. It's not going to happen over the internet. He's too far gone.

[King]

lol so many great Bushieism being said tonight

"I'm not going to spend 2 hours of my day walking for 20 minutes"
"Bare minimum of 2 sandwiches, but 3 is too much"


Both Top 10 classics.

[King]

Going back to the terrible film Interstellar, it's kind of hilarious to think Bushie and his family would never even be aware of the apocalypse in that movie as its most ominous signs are respiratory problems, inability to walk outside, limited water supply, and no produce available except corn.

[King]

Bushie, you can just walk in a circle around your house with Blondie for 20 minutes. It'd be repetitive in terms of sight seeing but it'd be walking for 20 minutes.

[King]

I believe Bushie claimed his headaches were hereditary and his mother has had a headache since 1969...

This does happen to people, BTW, even those who don't have Jeff's eating habits.

Perhaps there are some diseases where it is unpreventable, but that's too uncommon.

More likely he and his mother have a more common predisposition to headaches and migraines exacerbated by poor diet and no exercise.  Kind of like having a family history of heart disease.

I am going to watch the Orlando Magic vs. Toronto Raptors on NBA TV

Have you been to either Orlando or Toronto? Do you believe in either magic or dinosaurs?

[King]

Good Wednesday Morning!  My head really hurts today.  Headache is at a Grade 7.  I'm at work, though, even though I probably should be in bed with this headache

Congrats, man. Maybe if your lucky tomorrow it will be a Grade 8.

Just be sure to keep eating those ham sandwiches and Dr. Pepper! You can do it!

[King]

RIP Bushie

[King]

i'm 3 pages behind but i'm already 100% sure

RIP JOB

Indiana Pacers vs. Miami Heat on ESPN.  That's what I'm watching tonight.

How could you stand a bright, loud television with a Grade 8 headache?

[King]

Headaches aside, your new employer having a slow workflow is a bad sign. This job is done.

Bushie, BTW, please tell me did you at least read my post of those WebMD articles? It's okay if you absolutely refuse to treat your headaches, but just want to know you at least saw the cure before disregarding it.

It's come way down since I got a 5 hour nap today.  It is now a Grade 4, occasionally Grade 5.  If it were still the way it was this morning, then I would be in bed right now.  As it is right now, it is moderate, at best.  That's a result of 1) prayer, 2) migraine pill, and 3) rest.  If it continues at this lower level, then there is no doubt I'll go in tomorrow.

Grade 4-5 headache is manageable.  Par for the course, as they say.

Manageable by doing what? Drinking no water and watching TV?
