How I was both careless and stupid

Well, nobody dies, and the inconvenience is definitely minor and first-world, but still...

So, Thursday night (fourth of four nights in San Francisco) at dinner with friends in the Castro, I notice when I get my credit card back from paying the bill that it's not the card I usually use (a BarclayCard tied to JetBlue, which gets me lots of points on the airline I seem to end up on most often), think "Huh" and figures that somehow I got my cards in the wrong order.
