Snuggles. #latergram #masterquinn

I lost my clipper card a good long while ago. It’s my beepy transit pass thinger for the SF East Bay Area. It has a pretty substantial balance on it, considering I used to ride the BART train to and from work five days a week, and have funds subtracted directly from my paycheck.

But I lost it. Well over, um, six? months ago, I think.
Yeah, I know.
Slacker.

Well, today I got a serious bug in my ear about getting it replaced. I even scheduled a reminder on my calendar to get online and do it! Look at me, being proactive and all. So at 2pm when my reminder sounded and I hopped onto the Clipper card website I also got a text message from Eric asking ‘did you lose your clipper card?’.

I was overjoyed thinking he’s found it! He’s found it! So I replied ‘yes, why?’. And then I held my breath. With my mouse pointed at the ‘report a lost or stolen card’ and my iPhone showing the three dots meaning that someone is typing on the other end. And then his reply came ‘because I saw your calendar reminder to order a new one’ and I woke up and remembered that our calendars are synced and our iTunes accounts are too because we both use mine and that he sees what I see and what I put on my calendar when I set up a fancy reminder thinger.

And then I went ahead and clicked the ‘report a lost or stolen card’ and laughed at myself. Because seriously, after six months would the Hubs really find my card at the exact same moment that I was about to order a new one?
I mean really?
Right?
