He says it's 4 inches thick!

My wallet, that is. (dirty, dirty, dirty!)

The funny part? I only have a twoonie in it***. (For all you US of Americans, that's a two dollar
coin. That's right, we don't have paper money here.)


Tool is coming to Saskatchewan! Christian loves Tool
more than he loves me . The shit part is that they are playing in a cesspool Regina, a city that is about 3 hours from here, but we're still gonna go! Anycrap, tickets go on sale tomorrow, and if you have an American Express card you can use the Front of the Line option. Sweet! I have one of those. Except, I have never used it. (Costco charges my membership fee to it once a year.) So I don't exactly know were the card is (whatevs, don't judge me!).

So, I call American Express on the phone;


Me-Hi, I don't have my card but I have my account number.

Her-Ok, you must answer eleven billionty questions first.

Me-Sure.


I answer a bunch of security questions. Then;


Her-Ok, so I cancelled your card and you'll get a new one in 10 days.
Me-Uh, but I was just calling to see if you would tell me the expiry date so that I could use it tomorrow.
Her-Oh, sorry, well I cancelled it and you'll have to wait 10 days for the new one before you can use it again.
Me-You totally just screwed up my whole plan.
Her- mwuuhahaha! Uh, like, sorry.
Me- Fine, cancel the whole thing! I don't want it anymore! No more American Express Card for ME!

Her-(insert snotty-valley girl voice here) Well, fine then. It's like, totally, been cancelled.

what an odd Amex customer service person. Didn't she totally listen to the "rest" of your request before she got all cancel happy?

I have a system. I have a small wallet, more like a billfold. In it, my driver's license, one debit card, and only credit card. Simple. Then I have to "business card holders" (which are really re-appropriated cigarette holders) which contain my loyalty and discount cards in alphabetical order. Airmiles? Purple holder! Safeway? Gold holder! Then I have a stack of gift certificates that travel in the small spare pocket all purses have.

What does Christian do?

My pork rind discount card and Eyebrow Dandruff Anonymous membership card stay close to my heart.
