soc_puppetFound my wallet today. It was inside the couch =_= And this is after I have both replaced my driver's liscence and canceled my debit card. Dammit, I knew it wasn't at Hy-Vee!
But that isn't the WTF part. The WTF part came in the mail today. Just minutes ago, actually.
For starters, there was a $1.00 off gift certificate to Hamburg Inn (#2, of course) that I got for being a runner-up winner of a drawing. Which is nice, but still isn't very WTF-y.
The WTF part was that I got a package. A small package, maybe 5x5x2 inches. (That's about 10x10x2.5 cm) The return address is 'OVERSTOCK.COM'. It says on the outside that it is a Bell Howell Keychain Digital Camera. "Okay," thinks I, "Mayhap someone just re-used the box and pasted a bunch of crap on the front. Or something. Because I sure as heck didn't order any darn camera from anywhere." It is addressed to me, so I decide, well, may as well open it and see what it is.
It is indeed a keychain digital camera. The camera itself is about 1x2x.5 inches. (That's about 2.5x5x1 cm) It comes with the cord needed to hook it up to a computer, some instructions, and a little black leather case. Oh, and a battery.
WTF!!! I never ordered any keychain digital camera! I don't know anyone who would order one for me! (Unless it's Grandma, and she already got the whole family a digital camera and printer to share.) On the one hand here, it's OMG, cool! On the other hand, I don't know why I have this. I didn't buy it, I didn't enter a contest that had it as a prize (I'm pretty sure), and I don't know who did.
...Heeeelllp! T-T
Later: Okay, I'm somewhat calmer now. I still don't know where the camera came from or why I have it, but I think I'll be okay. I'll probably ask Mom if she has any clues to the camera's origins, but she probably won't; Dad didn't have any ideas, either. I'll probably end up using the camera unless I can think of a good reason not to--after more than a day, "I don't know where it came from," will start to seem less reasonable. Heck, it's only been an hour and already I want to throw that reason out the window. I don't think I have much to worry about at the moment, though this might change if I get another package like this. Then, I will worry. Lots and lots.
Later still: Mom and Dad have given me the okay to play with the camera ^___^ So it has been opened and debagged and is currently being examined. I'm sorta reading the user's guide, in that I'm taking breaks in between paragraphs to surf the 'net. The camera has not only come with its first battery, its own USB cable and the nice leather bag thing, but the software needed to upload photos to the computer :O Win. Seriously.

Date: 2005-12-30 03:02 am (UTC)I have no clue. It's possible, since I posted my address a while ago (but took it down today in a fit of paranoia). Mom thinks it might have been my Aunt Sheri, which would be just one more way that she is incredibly cool. Even if the camera turns out craptastic.
