Didn’t Survive The Fall

Share with a friend

I dropped my calculator this morning and unfortunately, it didn’t survive the fall.

My Casio has survived falls before, been stepped on, thrown across the room (not by me, of course…), and suffered indignities unknown to any other calculator.

But today, it had enough.

An untimely death since I really need it to calculate the cost per mile of several mileage runs I’m researching today.

Thankfully Staples is open today.  But if I buy it at the store as opposed to ordering it via the Ultimate Rewards Mall I’ll only get 5x Ultimate Rewards Points using my Ink Bold instead of 7x.

What’s a girl to do?

I guess I could do the calculations old school with pen and paper. GASP!

Thank goodness for technology and a Mac.  There’s a calculator on my dashboard.

Now if only someone would come up with an app for figuring out the cost per mile of a mileage run…
