Too many things in my wallet

I have altogether too many things in my wallet. I guess it’s time for a culling.

Here’s what’s in there as I write this, going from front to back, in order:

• My laundry card (which also gives me two free 12-hour tickets for my building’s visitors parking lot every month)
• A January 2007 Metropass
• The address of a party I was invited to, written on the back of a business card
• A December 2006 Metropass
• Another address, on another business card
• The envelope that a Chapters gift certificate came in (“A Special Gift For You”)
• A business card from a friend of mine who lives in Windsor
• Yet another address
• A receipt for an iPod power adapter I bought from Compusmart ($45.59, including tax)
• One more address
• The date and time for the last job interview I had (I got the job)
• A November 2006 Metropass
• Another address
• My University of Waterloo Alumni Membership Card (which, I believe, allows me lifetime admission to their Grad Club pub)
• My Royal Bank client card
• A credit note from Chapters, after I returned a potential Christmas gift because I realized it was stupid
• Two actual business cards
• A piece of paper with the dollar value of the savings bonds in my safety deposit box (now out of date, as I cashed some)
• One more address
• My Toronto Public Library card
• My access card for work (which has a picture of me that makes me look like a serial killer)
• My TD Canada Trust client card
• A Chapters iRewards card, good until next July
• A Chapters gift card (the one that the envelope used to hold), with “Joy to the Word” written on it in script
• My Royal Bank credit card
• The name of the hotel I was staying in on Christmas Eve
• Still another address
• A card that activates the Metro Reference Library’s copying machines
• The date and time of my last appointment related to this
• My driver’s licence
• My health card
• An official receipt for my December 2006 Metropass, entitling me to a tax deduction
• A note advising me to keep my January 2007 Metropass as a receipt, as the TTC is no longer issuing separate receipts for Metropasses
• My Society for Technical Communication membership card
• My Bad Dog Theatre Company membership card
• A card with my GST number on it, as there’s no way I’m gonna remember that
• My blood donor’s card (I haven’t given in a long long time, alas)
• Email addresses of the people I was sitting with at the career planning workshop I went to
• About a dozen of my own business cards (I have two kinds – one normal, and one with lots of wonderful qualifications written on it)
• An almost totally destroyed Mountain Equipment Co-op membership card
• Pictures of three of my nephews (which are quite out of date now)

Oh, I almost forgot: I’ve also got $65 in there.
