They really want him there at 12:15 but they tell him 12 just so he gets there on time. My sister is that way. She is almost always a few minutes late.

You forget that I've been to your work and have seen what you do. It's probably the most cake walk job of anyone in SW.
It is some kind of emeritus job? Or is kind of like a mascot?

If I could find a few in the wild, I would get them to rip. Haven't opened any flagship since 2018 update or 2019 series 1 (somewhen in there).

I make sure I refresh (sell similar) my listings once a month on the day they're ending as well, to ensure they stay fresh for the algorithm.

I haven't been able to find any Select WNBA yet. I want to open some with my friend's daughter since she's a huge basketball fan, and since I took her to the SEC Tournament, a huge women's basketball fan. She loves the Angel Reese autographed card I got her for her birthday.

I haven’t seen any either. I also was hoping to see topps chrome update megaboxes but haven’t found them either. The 3 things I have been buying are Ginter, Stadium Club and 2024 topps update. I like that GameStop carries cards but they are very hit and miss.

The principal at the middle school had the assistant principal ask me tonight if I’d consider starting there for the 2nd semester. I student taught under the principal, they’ve both coached sports for me.

It just sucks that people that came into our office have made me even consider this move. We had such a tight “family” that looked out for each other. Now we have people that brought the bs they left their last jobs for and started doing the same thing here. I use to love what I do so much. Now, I feel like they don’t appreciate all that I do.

It’s funny but usually the only time you’re appreciated by your employer is after you leave.

Don't know what you got 'til it's gone
Don't know what it is I did so wrong
Now I know what I got
Just this song
And it ain't easy to get back
Takes so long

Head Halter - similar to whats used on a horse. especially if big pullers - turn the head turn the body..much easier to control.

Belly wrap with leash works great too.

And you guys thought wasting money on cardboard was crazy. People just have too much money I guess.
