Small win against trading card scalpers

TL;DR

I was able to buy some cards at retail price before scalpers got to them and pulled super rare gorgeous card.

So I was at walmart this morning grocery shopping and I usually go straight to check if there are any pokémon cards, and 95% of the time there is nothing, but today there were tons, like 2+ boxes full, so I got 4 packs because I love collecting cards as a hobby but I aint rich and it's rare to find them at retail price.

Like maybe an hour later when I was leaving the store I walked by the same aisle and there was NOTHING left, no pokemon cards at all. Seriously, there must have been more than 50 different packages and they were all gone.

I just counted myself lucky to have gotten there at the right time. Then I get home and open one pack and pull this card

Iykyk

P.S. if this is a topic that doesn't interest you or you think it's cringe for an adult to collect pokemon cards that's fine, call me a virgin, incel, scum of the earth, that's fine.

I was never able to afford this as a kid so I'm making up for that, and I bet the same goes for other non-scalping collectors

Sheriff Potter

Hello, now that season two will only exist in our hearts I was wondering what ideas you all have for what could happen for the characters in the future?

For me one of the things that concerned me was the 80 mile commute for Courtney, so in my mind I like to imagine:

-Coach Potters move into Headltoon, maybe they buy a really shitty house and there could be a subplot of them dealing with repairs

-Boon gets a job as the new Headletoot football coach, or even Courtney's assistant

--OR he actually becomes the sheriff!

Idk thinking of Boon actually becoming the sheriff just brings a lot of joy to my heart.

What are your all's ideas/headcanons??

I literally just started and finished the show last week and absolutely loved it, and I've been having a pretty rough time of it these last few weeks so it brought so much joy to me, I even forced my brother to watch too

and now I'm devastated.

When I'm this sad I usually dive into rewatching superstore but I just got so mad that I cancelled peacock...so now I can't even do that :(

Hello,

I've been having a really hard time, I have this co worker who I got along pretty well at first. I work at a deli restaurant with a salad bar and I was initially hired as a Salad bar attendant but more recently got bumped up twice due to other people rage quitting and being at the right place at the right time.

Anyways, my co worker (a supervisor) is actually pretty bad when it comes to her patients with new people. In my opinion she treats even small mistakes like a personal attack, I don't even get reactions like that from the boss.

For a quick example I got confused and I sprinkled chilly powder on one of our southwest-styled salad instead of our southwest style "bowl". Both dished have like 80% the same ingredients, but based of her reaction you would think I spilled chocolate sauce on the floor then picked it up with my bare hands and slathered it on the salad. I was just flabbergasted at her subtle anger because of this small mistake.

On other occasions she tells me I'm overthinkg but in the same breath she also implies that I am not thinking at all.

Yes, I will be honest and say that I have very low self esteem and I get really mad at myself when I mess up, I need to be better about reminding myself that I'm not performing brain surgery here, but she honestly makes that hard. None of the other supervisors or even the boss make me so stressed.

Recently, I got to work ( I was called in last minute on my day off to cover someone else's shift) and she was visibly in a terrible mood, so I was already walking on eggshells but then later in the shift other people started arriving and she seemed to be doing better and even joking around with them but still icy cold towards me so I figured maybe she was frustrated with me and I would give her space because I was getting really stressed out trying not to make her even more mad.

At the end of her shift she actually approached me and tried to say bye and even hig, I was taken aback because because this whole time she had been nearly hostile and now all of a sudden it is being friendly again?!

So the cognitive dissonance in my head was making shut down and as she approached I stepped back away from her and that's when she really broke.

She said something along the lines of "if you're upset about me correcting you, you need to understand that I AM WORKING"

But we were past that at this point, I was stressed out because she was icy cold to me all shift then all of a sudden she wants me to just go back to being buddies with her?

I just can't ever do anything right with her, like being friendly with her is a no no when she is in a bad mood bit then when I try to give her space she explodes at me?

I'm honestly terrified, I wish I could read her mind and just do exactly what she wants me to do but I can't.

Ever since, every time I see her I just get overwhelmed with stress and fear and it feels like I'm have a hand around my throat every time I'm in the same area as her. I don't think I'm mentally stable enough to handle this situation.

Sorry this was so long, I tried to be as bried and to the point but this is a complicated situation. Thank you

TL;DR

Co worker who I used to be friendly with is unpredictable woth her bad mood, viciously mean when correcting even small mistakes. Giving her space also backfired for me and it feels like I can't ever do anything right and the cognitive dissonace is crushing me.
