Well sorry for not posting since the 26th of October I have been extremely busy with my 2 jobs with usually my nights spending time relaxing compressing the day I endured. My shirt says it all "......I am not dead yet!!!!!" Yes its a quote from Monty Python & the Holy Grail as well the musical Spamalot. I can hear some of you saying why am I griping about working 2 jobs well my first job during the day is working at an elementary school dealing with kids from Kindergarden through the 3rd Grade as an Instructional Assistant (Fancy name for being a tutor to kids) I have been working with the district since 1998 what can be stressful working with them well......just when we get them settled down and ready for recess a co-worker will play music that gets them jumping up and down a lot like its a mini Mosh Pit. I try to clear tables & its not easy with them not paying attention to where they're dancing at. Then after I deal with school kids I go directly to my other job which is working at Dollar General.
On rare days off from school I like to sleep in until I have to go to DG. Now on my days off from DG I like to just either try to go to the local shop or leave on a trip to a shop outside of my area to see if I can find things I might need from my lists or find things others are looking for. Then there's times where I spend time with my girlfriend & we try to find things we both can enjoy case in point last week Friday after I got back from cashing my paychecks we went to the west end of the state to a mall to do some shopping then enjoy a nice dinner at a TGIFridays. Then after dinner my girlfriend asked me if I wanted to go to a local shop that I like going to since they moved to a bigger location & I mentioned how I like to see the changes since I saw a YouTube video of the shop starring Mojo & how he enjoyed going to it.
Needless to say I found a few singles I needed but the biggest find I did was thanks to the video & after talking to Greg (The Collective Mind blogger if you haven't read his stuff I suggest you do) I mentioned I found him a set he was missing in his Allen & Ginter run that was the 2017 Set. I paid $40 for it & he was extremely excited that I found it & I have to agree with him that $40 was a hell of a deal considering that the Aaron Judge RC is in it with average prices from $25 to $40 raw plus all the SPs were in it so he didn't have to hunt any of them down.
So don't think that I have given up on working on my blog I just been busy at my jobs & trying to come up with more exciting things to discuss on here. In fact I am looking forward to the next show that Ill be at on the 10th of this month cause my friend Pat said she has some nice 2024 Update Inserts for me as well 2 of my 2024 Heritage Box Toppers those I can't wait to get plus Greg sent out a package for me of stuff so I can't wait for that mail day arrival hoping that he included the long awaiting set finisher in my `97/`98 Fleer Basketball set of Allen Iverson that I needed to complete so I no longer have to look for that card & then I can enjoy looking at that set.
Before I wrap up this latest posting sometime this month I am hoping to drop a challenge & I hope I can get a great challenger(s) in the fight. I also hope that I can win it as well. I know that time will tell me if it was worth trying to do or not pending on my opponent(s) is & if they are ready to take on POISON *evil laugh* or will I be the one that gets crushed. Until then I am reminded of the Great Rajah Hornsby quote of signing autographs for kids " Any Ballplayer who doesn't sign autographs for kids ain't an American, He's a Communist."
