I messed up a big chance at the Jasper Ave business meetup

Last Friday, I went to a networking event on Jasper Ave. I talked with a person who runs a printing shop in the west end. We agreed to team up for a community event next month. I was sure I saved their card in my bag. When I got home, I found all my cards were from last year's event. Now I have no way to reach them, and the partnership is stuck. Does anyone have a sure way to keep new contacts from getting lost?

Try shoving business cards into your wallet like they're going out of style. I did that and ended up with a receipt from 2019 instead of the coffee shop guy's number. Take a picture on your phone right away, but then you'll just have a camera roll full of blurry cards you never sort. My friend wrote a contact on a napkin and then used it to wipe up a spill. True story. Maybe we should all just get those digital card things, but then we'd have to figure out how they work.

Wait, your friend actually used the napkin to clean up a spill? That's tragically hilarious lol. The struggle is way too real.
