Lost:USB Stick named Ocelot

On Saturday I bought an external hard drive in order to store the overflowing amount of photographs I was beginning to build up. I also purchased a small USB 4GB stick so I could take a small amount to school when things needed to be printed and the other what nots. 20 bucks for 4 GBs is a steal. I named my XHardD Tigeress and my stick Ocelot, to awesome large cats and I know how dorky I sound, but I won't own something called, "My Book" and "Untitled", it's just not my character.
Because I named them I created bonds with them, again, I know I sound really crazy, but this is my stuff, it'll be with me for as long as it lives, we need to bond.
I took the USB stick, Ocelot to school with me today in order to print my Senior works. I was happy. It's just a cute little black stick and it had all 30 images I needed. Very reliable. Well, the worst thing happened on the way back from school on the train... I lost my USB stick....Ocelot fell out of my wallet and into the small crevous of my train seat and deep down in the pit of the train...I'm not ashamed to admit that I cried. I was frustrated because it was new, it had 30 images on it, and I lost it. I pray that NO ONE finds it, and Ocelot will rest in peace keeping my images safe from the crazies.
I figured I'd just go back to Best Buy and purchase another one. Nope, apparently 20 bucks is the sale price of a 4 GB stick and from Saturday to today the price jumped 22 dollars. Dude, even gas prices don't jump 22 dollars in 2 days(thank God) but how was I suppose to know???? I inquired to the guy at the register and his attitude problem probably came from the stick shoved too far up his ass. When it rang out 41 dollars and Mr. Pisspants wasn't going to be helpful in anyway, I left without buying anything. As someone who also works in retail(sadly...) I feel that the proper thing to have done is ask a manager if it was on sale, or why the price is different, not shoot me down instantly in a manner I'd associate with the traits of a pig or an ass. Thanks nasty Best Buy guy, you just lost a customer. Am I wrong?
Needless to say, I now have a 2GB stick and have yet to name it. I am still mad at myself for losing Ocelot. All I wanted to do was have a conveinent way to transport photos...is that too much to ask for???
