in 2015 I needed a job really bad for reasons not worth getting into. i was living in ohio for like 6 months & i just applied at every place within a 30 minute drive from me and i got a call from the local Game Stop mere minutes after submitting the online app, which was obviously a red flag but I wasn’t in the position to be picky.

so they tell me when to show up for orientation & I get there the day-of but the store is closed & locked. i text the manager & he says back “oh yeah. i manage two Game Stops and open them alternate days.”

apparently the Game Stop I originally applied to is open Mondays Wednesdays Fridays and the other one is open Sundays Tuesdays Thursdays Saturdays.

They’re 15 minutes apart. I don’t ask whether it would make sense to just have one store locally that is open daily, bc maybe the guy knows something I don’t.

So I get to the other Game Stop and walk in and it seems like there’s no one working there. There’s just a single woman in there wearing an ankle length leather trench coat. She didn’t greet me when I came in & she’s just browsing.

After ten minutes I ask her if she’s seen any employees and she’s like “oh I’m an employee.” She’s not wearing a name tag on the trench coat.

I tell her I’m here for training and she tells me the manager hasn’t come in yet. “he falls asleep playing xbox all the time but if he’s on live we can try pinging him to wake him up.”

I play Xbox and that absolutely doesn’t sound like a thing you can do in the way she’s describing it but once again maybe she knows something I don’t.

I ask if we have an Xbox that we can use to “ping” him and she says “yeah the one in the back we play on.”

She has an English accent by the way, a very specific & posh one which usually wouldn’t be relevant but we’ll get there.

So before she leads me to the Xbox-in-the-back she goes “oh damn. our internet has actually been down all morning, I forgot. We need to call the provider and have them come out and fix it. Can you do that?”

Can I call an unnamed internet provider and schedule them to come do service at a business where I don’t even technically work yet? Idk. She gives me their number and I call them and they put me on hold.

People are walking in and she’s not greeting them. She keeps browsing and people assume like I did that she’s another customer so they’re coming up to the counter where I’m on hold to ask me for help, and then I have to say I can’t help them and to ask the woman in the trenchcoat, and then she says “we can’t sell you anything. internet’s down.”

this goes on for 30 minutes and every time the store is empty she’s chatting at me and I’m on hold and then a man walks in the door and he says “sorry I fell asleep on live again haahaahaa” so this is the manager and the minute she starts speaking to him she no longer has an English accent which has me confused because it did not sound fake.

It was regionally specific and very natural.

the manager asks what I’m doing and I say I’m on hold with the internet provider and he gives me a thumbs up and walks to the back.

so I ask how long she’s lived in the U.S. and say I’m always interested in the way people can sometimes go in and put of accents and she says “oh I’m American. he asked me to stop doing the accent so I only do it when he’s not here.”

Suddenly I wonder what I’m doing here and I tell her I need to leave and I give no excuse but at this point I didn’t feel like I needed one? She said okay! See you later.

The manager didn’t contact me and that night I got offered some other retail job I jumped on.

Three months later the Game Stop manager texts me and asks if I can cover a shift in an hour and I said “I don’t think I work there? I left an hour into my training. And we never spoke again.” And he texted back “haahahaba right on.”

And you may think wow, what a strange experience that all was but recently I have spoken to friends who did work at Game Stop and when I tell them this story they don’t even blink. Nothing I say surprises them. I was at the average Game Stop

Sooo i have questions about how to make hamotzi this Shabbos. I don’t wanna buy a challah cus of my ongoing long-fought battle against chametz. I’m reading that some people use pita on shabbos hagadol. (Cus it doesn’t make as many crumbs)

But my q is does it have to be pas yisroel & fulfill the laws of challah or is just normal kosher pita ok

If it needs to be the former i might just end up making pita but I already kashered my oven so I’m hesitant to do that. Stove isn’t kashered yet so would a stovetop flatbread thing be ok? And is that even a thing?

?????

#I need a rav but also don’t wanna feel like I’m wasting someone’s time #cus I have questions about everything all the time

my husband took the kids to the playground yesterday to give me some space for pesach prep and I received this text message about Moses. such a Moses thing to say.

#ope i remembered that commentary incorrectly #prev referenced ramban but he was actually referring to the getting water from a rock #not the splitting of the sea #the Ramban said that Moshe sinned by not giving Hashem credit for the miracle #everyone else (p much i think) disagrees #& they say that Moshe was actually sinning by being too angry or forceful in a variety of ways #which is prob correct cus moshe deals w anger issues at other times as well

I have a persistent struggle with trusting my perception, questioning myself, overcompensating for my lack of trust in my own perception- such that this pesach prep is really challenging me to address certain issues- not saying I’ll be able to solve them all but it feels spiritually important. Idk exactly what I’m supposed to get out of this, like which direction am I supposed to be favoring? For pesach, stringency is typically favored (from what I’ve seen) so am I being challenged to “go all in” or am I being challenged to “not go overboard” probably the first one, due to the nature of the holiday & its purpose? But maybe there’s another way of seeing it? This is too philosophical to have a straightforward answer maybe ?

I don't eat kitniot on pesach! I make nut cookies (grind up nuts and bake... recipes online for tons of cookies) I use potato starch for cakes, and I make tons of vegetable chips! I've never had kitniot on pesach, so I don't know ur full frame of reference, but potato starch and nut flours go a lonnnggg way

Love it! I just ordered some k4p potato starch 🥔 thank you!

The saying "two jews, three opinions" is actually just a statistical error. Maimonides, who lives in Cairo and proclaims over 10,000 opinions each day, is an outlier and should not have been counted

Sorry man I have to dress up in a costume and go to the synagogue to be in a play and eat triangle cookies and read from a scroll and make booing noises whenever we hear the name of the guy who tried to commit genocide against us in ancient Persia. Yeah it’s gonna be all day sorry.

The kids are watching Prince of Egypt while I deep clean the freezer & stove -

I emailed the local chabad and found out that a kosher market is making a special delivery to my area for pesach so I was able to procure a zeroa (the lamb shank) and also some other yums for pesach. Alef beis cookies & Kfp chicken nuggets !! 😁
