I searched on Bricklink for “white brick 1x2x5 sticker” which returned only 77 unique parts. I found: C - https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=2454pb191&idColor=1&name=White%20Brick%201%20x%202%20x%205%20with%20Tiles,%20Sponge,%20Yellow%20Starfish,%20Shells%20and%20Bottle%20on%20Shelf%20Pattern%20(Sticker)%20-%20Set%2041347&category=%5BBrick,%20Decorated%5D#T=C&C=1 Next I searched for all sets that contained part 2454 (brick 1x2x5) in White and scrolled through the list, stopping and inspecting every Friends, Disney and Elves set on the way. In each set inventory I looked at the sticker sheet (always listed first). I found: A - https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=41341stk01#T=C&C=0 B - https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=41148stk01&idColor=0

So, I got fired at noon yesterday. Less than 3 hours later, I received a job offer from a firm that I had turned down in the fall. They gave me a higher salary and earlier today, I renegotiated for a higher signing bonus and increased PTO. I signed and sent it off a few hours ago and filled out the background information. So needless to say, things are working out and I'll be starting mid-August. Now I just need to find a way to actually log onto NYS Department of Labor Website to file for unemployment somehow...

I have nothing to do with this exchange, but I just wanted to say how impressed I am with Phil B for going to the trouble of figuring all that out. It not only answered the question, but showed the process for figuring out. All of that, with no sarcasm or attitude! Makes me really appreciate this site and the people on it.

You know sometimes things happen and it will sort itself out. I was not happy at my previous company and actually got an offer from my current company but I declined since I wasn't keen on moving from a perm to contract. A year later there was a large restructuring at my current employer and I got a much better offer after they started a large hiring drive. Good luck with your new position!

Don’t get fired again

I pulled out the things I got from our local TRU when it closed. Then manager said they were throwing all of this away but I could have it. Now I'm looking as ways to decorate my Brick Shed with it.

We spend a lot of time at work, life is too short to be constantly miserable. Bills have to be paid but health (physical and mental) matters too.

Yeah, I agree. The job was at first exciting for me then it turned into a slog. I was subject to constant criticism, overloaded work, and despite efforts made to improve, it was never good enough. Also, I realized that I started suffering from depression, anxiety, and dread during the last two months at the job. I was losing weight, lack of sleep, and my nerves were frayed a lot at home. At one point, I somehow cried myself to sleep one night. So, I determined it was necessary to get out. I'd never really undergone depression before in my life until this job. Everyone has bad days and some days are blah but months of dread, anxiety, and weeks of not wanting to go to work because you hate your job? Yeah, that was a new one. I reached out to the firm that had offered me a job and it ended up working out in the end. No regrets.

Was not sure sure where to put this. Found at Costco yesterday: Lego Classic 11022 Space Mission for $54.99 (1700 pieces), $15 off. Did not find the Star Wars 75315 Imperial Light Cruiser there. https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/space-mission-11022
