Truckin'

 Halburn Can't Get New Peterbilt

When Halburn left this comment on Travel Centers-TA-Petro's Facebook page this morning we knew something was up.

The explanation shows up a few hours later.
He turned down a job because they couldn't accommodate HIS schedule. But as usual, he blames THEM.
It's always someone else's fault isn't it Halburn?
 

Or maybe since the openings they have are for cooks, servers, truck service advisers and mechanics, he's just not qualified for a job there.
Maybe they checked him out and then turned him down. All his arrests, the restraining orders against him, his mental evaluation, his harassment of people in the community, the abuse of his second ex-wife. Those follow him around like the stench of his filthy tee shirts and cut off sweat pants.

 This has to be a first for Halburn.

 Fired from a job before he was even hired.

You got to be a stupid motherfucker to get fired before you're even hired!

Here's how it works. They are hiring for certain shifts. If your availability doesn't meet their needs, you're not a good choice.
There are many reasons why Crisco is not a good choice, but we will start with this reason.

What sort of a  "man" who has no job, who makes less than minimum wage and has had to have his child support reduced at least THREE times because he can't afford to pay it, turns down a job because they wouldn't let him work the schedule HE wanted to work? Everyone misses time with their family because of work. Do you actually believe a business should work around your personal schedule, Halburn?

They offered you a job, then you told them you can only work every other weekend and no Wednesday evenings.
What did you think they were going to do? Jump for joy and say "Sure Mr Halburn. You're the Dad of the Year. Work whatever schedule you want to work. The world revolves around you."

Skilless grifters are a dime a dozen. Hell, crack whores and heroin addicts have a better skill set and work ethic than you do. TA doesn't need you.
It's not discrimination when a potential employee tries to tell an employer when he's going to work.

That's not how you go about getting a job. Something you're oblivious of since you're 55 years old, have held about 100 menial jobs and been fired from most of them.

A real father does whatever it takes to provide for his child.

You don't care if your son eats or not. You know Doedy and Donnie will be sure he has food to eat. He doesn't care about the kid and never has. It's all about him and him getting his way. Handout Halburn! Piece of shit.

They will raise him right. It's good that he has a real, positive male role model in his home now. Someone who treats his mommy right, works a steady job and doesn't leech off his wife.Now he has a real man to look up to.

You're a bum Halburn.
And a horrible example to your "son." 

55 years old and the only thing you have to show for in your life is a blog, a 16 year old car and a son another man takes care of. You're a huge loser at life.  

REAL parents have to make the tough choice to go to work to provide for their children. YOU, on the other hand, just want to whine about it and let your second ex-wife and her husband actually support and raise their son.

Stepdads step up when Dads step down.

And  days later he's still whining about it.

A normal person would move on and apply for another job somewhere else.
But we're talking about Mark Halburn here.

Halburn Fails Another Job Interview

Fat Loser Loses Again

Interrviews were held this evening for the Dave Hardy's vacant seat on the Kanawha County Commission.
9 qualified applicants and Halburn were interviewed for the position.

This was the extent of his interview.
All questions were asked by Kent Carper as Lardass slouched in his seat.

Carper: I'll be honest. I was surprised you applied for this. How in the world could you get along with the Kanawha County Sheriff's Department, the circuit court, the family court, or for that matter anybody else?
Halburn:  You can contact Sheriff Deweese of Putnam County who I deal with on a regular basis.
Carper: We're not in Putnam County.
Carper: What's your relationship with the Circuit Court of Kanawha County? Is it good or bad?
Halburn:  I haven't talked to them in years so you could ask them that.
Carper: Didn't they file an order so you can't file anymore lawsuits here?
Halburn:  No, they did not.
Carper: You have a good relationship with the court here?
Halburn:  As far as I can tell.

And then Kent wraps up with this after Halburn mentions his divorce:
"If we were going to get into personal stuff it wouldn't be about that."

Our takeaways:

Typical Halburn, skirting the truth. ALWAYS with the semantics and half-truths. There WAS an order filed against Halburn in 2014 from filing any actions without a lawyer, but still allowed pleadings filed by a lawyer on his behalf to be filed.

Carper never followed up.

Carper should have asked about Halburn's relationship with the family court. That would have been a revealing answer. Virtually every judge in the county has recused themselves because they don't want to deal with Halburn.

Halburn should just go ahead and marry Steve Deweese. They would probably be very happy together. It's like a teenage suckfest with those two.

Halburn had to sit there while Judge Tod Kaufman, the only judge in WV to ever hold him responsible for a crime, stood directly in front of him and spoke after he swore in the new Commissioner, Ben Salango.

If it is at all possible, Kent Carper may be the only person who loves the sound of his voice and pats himself on the back more than Mark Halburn does.

Commissioner Halburn?

Halburn has applied for the Kanawha County Commission seat left vacant by Dave Hardys departure.
He knows he can't get elected so he hopes he can get selected. This won't turn out well for him. He has no party affiliation. The applicant must be a Democrat.
Plus he's nuts.

Maybe he's just filling in for the crackpot woman that always runs for mayor in Charleston.

He doesn't realize this is for the Kanawha County Commission seat and not the Kanawha County Fair Pie Eating contest.

Here's the main disqualifier.
Carper said, “I think one of the most important things is to find someone who we’ll be able to work with and show respect not only to the public, but to the staff.” 

And just like that, the like was gone

That moment when your whole job interview in front of the media is about you being a repeat offender.
Discussion topics:
Airport. Parking tickets. Family court. Mayor stalking.

Kent's daughter was the first to smack him down for trespassing.

This is going to be a shitshow.

If he shows up for the interview, I'd say there's a slight chance of arrest.

"As your commissioner I'm going to bring the Atlantic Ocean to Kanawha County. All pools will be open  24/7/365. If necessary, I will press gang teenagers into  a newly created County Lifeguard Corps."
  
I don't think a commissioner would have the authority to order the "painless resurrection" of his dead mother.. Apparently that takes a family court judge or higher.

Update: He now claims he has switched his registration to Democrat. 

Resume Time

Here's an interesting bit from Halburn's voluminous resume:

"Summary of Qualifications:

Conscientious, dedicated, individual who learns quickly, develops good working relationships, and achieves consistent results. Special abilities in listening, servicing the needs of others, and multi-tasking. Proficient in problem solving, communicating and prioritizing. Excellent at time management and meeting deadlines."

I could think of a lot of descriptive words but those aren't it.

Oh yeah, he achieves "consistent results" all right. He consistently starts shit with co-workers, has accidents on the job then applies for Worker's Comp or files a lawsuit. Very consistent.

It's unknown if this is from the version of the resume that Halburn stuck under the door at WEMM radio the day after the Program Director Geoff Sturm passed away .
What kind of piece of shit tries to use a man's untimely passing as a way to get a job?
