Returned Soda and Cory keycards. They would only give me back $5 of my $35 keycard deposit, based on the combination of an accounting technicality and that my blue keycard was obsolete (``I'm sorry, we haven't used these for years!'' — well, sorry, I still want my deposit back!) CS 70 timecard dropped off. LBL time card — what was my project code again? LBL termination. Whoops, admintypes already left. Math major advisor — they're so friendly there! Small department, big university — winning combo. Submitted final application for mathematics degree minor. Abstract algebra course equivalency? Profs have vacated. Will do it via email. College of Engineering exit survey — check. Automatic control course equivalency? Still no word from prof. Error correcting codes course equivalency — check. Return library books: UCB, BPL, CSUA. Check. Transfer files to my computer. Check. Pay $69 fee to Oscar Wilde House. Check. Return house key. Check. Return LBL key. Check. Move splorg.org. Woops, will have to happen next week, without me. Almost ready to egress.

I remember that I forgot to return my PO Box key when I graduated from Stanford. It's a good thing, because I needed to get all my summer mail when I came back in August, because I had forgotten to tell companies about my change of address. But in September, when I had done so, I decided to return the key for my deposit once while I was visiting. I first checked and discovered that it still opened the PO Box and saw some mail belonging to some Albert Chan or something (I think I might be making up that name from some other source). I was tempted to keep that power, but decided to return it and get the deposit. And after waiting in line, I discovered the deposit was worth a whole $1! Would have been better to keep the power of spying on someone's mailbox.

Cheap bastards

Man, if they were only going to give you back $5, you may as well have kept the cardkey and instead tried proffering the key collection official a sprig of dried parsley or a trashbagful of beer cans. on a related note, tobin, are you taking care of my precious bag of cans? you know that's my retirement fund! not that i'm going to take them to the recycling center, i just hope to trick some WWII veteran into trading their social security checks for whatever's in "the mystery bag." party on, tobo robo hobo!
