Yeah, I'm figuring it has something to do with the money the government's been kicking back to people over the last couple of years. I've never taken deductions on my tax returns, because I'm single with no family, so I've always just sent in my W2's with the 1040 EZ. Years ago that meant a couple of hundred bucks back, but like I said, I haven't seen that since 1995. Thus my utter astonishment.
Of course, it won't last long, as it's not really that much money. I'm minded of Lewis Black's comment on the $400 checks that Chimpy sent out to everyone some years back: "It's just enough money to make you realize how FUCKED you are!"
But hey, every bit helps! I'll probably spend about $300 on a few things I need, like another electric fan and maybe a new computer monitor. The rest will go into my little lockbox. It comes just in time for the higher electric bills in the winter. :)
