ZAPPED! Dr. Grailove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Trade
Some of you may have noticed that I got rid of my signature. Well, not only is it now older than old, but I have accomplished a goal I never thought I would.
That. There. Is. The. Pin. The one I never thought I'd get. The one that one person asked me for $6000 in trade value for at one point. The price you ask? One pin.
Now this one pin means a lot to me; I studied for 200+ hours for the annual Disney Store trivia test in order to get it. My goal working there has always been to go onto the finals and win. As I'm looking to move to a position at the parks later this year, I think it's no longer in the cards. But I had that one pin and then I won another year, so I had two pins. And then I was like "Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if someone needed one of my pins and they offered me the Nouveau for it."
My brain was trying to correct itself, until a while ago. A pin trader I knew started really hunting for it. And he had the pin for trade. I, being the person I am, played fantasy lottery with the concept of asking him, but didn't actually. I still thought the pin I wanted was a fever dream.
I mustered up the courage this week and he agreed. So, now I've accomplished my goal. And it really just goes to show that you don't know where that one pin is gonna come from or when you're gonna get it. Keep trying tho, because it's on its way.
