Not only am I sans credit card, but my drivers license currently is a piece of paper from a registry office, as I finally made it down last week to request a new license due to my home address changing. As someone who's taken the ability to conduct commerce (especially simple retail stuff) for a lifespan as a given, it's odd to be in a temporary position of not being able to provide the two most asked for items - credit card and photo ID. My substitute photo ID was always my Canadian Landed Immigrant card... but... my Canadian Landed Immigrant card expired (need new one every 5 years I think) on December 31, 2008, so I've sent mine in with my application for a new one. The Vegreville processing office has an un-inspiring (for those in a hurry) waiting time posted of 77 days last time I checked.
I'm losing the basic credentials of modern society all at once here, and it's a total pain in the ass, I hope I can get everything back before I go to Tucson!
Holy crap, for some reason I get a mental image of you melting away like Michael J. Fox in Back to the Future when his mom won't fall in love with his dad... You’d better do something quick!
