So this is a post that was a long time in coming. Many events led me to this.
I once had a goldfish. It was gold, and a fish, hence a goldfish, and all it did was swim around its tank in lazy circles. Therefore, it was useless.
I once had a Zipcard, my campus ID, which i use to purchase food. When i get hungry, i easily swipe away at that little piece of plastic with a rather hideous picture of me on it until i am satisfied. Therefore it is not useless.
I lost that goldfish, i didn't really mind.
I lost my Zipcard, i minded a whole hell of a lot.
Imagine the euphoria i felt monday learning that i would be given the opportunity to face the new and interesting challenge of either finding that stupid piece of plastic or not eating.
Tuesday, after an exhaustive search, i go to the zipcard office and prepare myself to pay to have a new card made up for me. Mr. behind-the-counter follows standard opperating procedure however, and checks the card lost and found first. Now imagine my frustration when he pops up with my current card, denying me that oh so wonderful option of paying for a new one. I check the balance on the card and realise that whoever found it didn't even bother to empty the considerable balance off the card on cheap alcohol and fries from the sizzle zone.
All kidding aside though, Thank you whoever found my zipcard, wherever it got off to, and esp thank you for keeping my finances intact.

aww yay! I'm glad there are still such kind, good Samaritans in this world :)
ReplyDeleteYou want to know the funny thing? It was me that found it and turned it in, but I thought it would be considerably more humorous to turn it in rather than return it to you, the person I live with.
ReplyDeleteKidding. Thought you were able to get a new zipcard every semester for free. That's what I was lead to believe anyhow.
