Signs I am a cheap bastard (, )

  • Going to great lengths to reuse plastic luggage tags through three different home addresses
  • In order to do this, using a piece of an envelope from a bill rather than provide my own paper
  • Adding further identification to my luggage by using a purple ribbon. Which came from a party favor from my cousin's wedding four years ago.
  • Knowing exactly where this ribbon came from, and clearly remembering saving it thinking, "Hey, this might come in handy."

Use your business card. The added bonus is that someone is more likely to be there when they call.

Yeah but those tend to get torn off, and I prefer to be contacted on my own dang cellphone.

Excellent idea though.

Speaking of luggage and tags and etc. My SF trip is this Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I'll be staying near Union Square. Wanna grab breakfast/lunch/dinner? Any recommendations on things I must see or eat or both?

What terrible timing - I'm out of town until Monday (visiting my parents and the like). Damn. I totally forgot you were planning the trip for this weekend. :/

O. -_-

Won't be the last time I'm in SF, I'm sure.

Yeah. Still, I was definitely looking forward to catching up.

Basically this was my last chance to see Reggie's posthumous show, and my grandma is not likely to last much longer either (and I had to put this trip off this long because of my last-minute trip to see my grandpa a month ago and then various time crunches at work).

You're not cheap, you're frugal *cough*
