What is this??

I rescued this plant from the garden center at work today, it was drowning in water! After dumping at least 4 inches of water out of it, it looked like the plant was amazingly still very healthy, and it was so cool with its gorgeous variegated leaves that I just had to take it home! It of course had no label on it, Greg says it's a spiderwort of a kind, but is this actually a yellow zebra?

DEFINITELY a Tradescantia. Here's my cheat sheet that I have. Let me know if you can't see it well. (:
Aaannndd it didn't attach.
Let's try that again.

There are SO many varieties out there, this is just a few.
Oh my goodness, thank you @sarahsalith! Yes, this is why I was having so much trouble. What a fun graphic!
