For those of you curious:
I got the letters from the IRS today. It's just as I thought - the recovery rebate program kicked in, and the adjustments to my gross income brought the figures WAY down, so I got most of my paid taxes back. When I filed the returns, I was completely unclear on whether I even qualified for any of that money, so I didn't bother to find out anything. I figured since I'd worked so little in the last couple of years, I wouldn't qualify. So I got a nice, nearly-heart-attack-inducing surprise.
Hooray for abysmal financial ignorance!
The money is mine to keep. I'll be going to my new bank tomorrow to open my accounts. It's a small California chain, which I trust far more than the goddamn behemoths these days. Goodbye Chase! You won't have my bucks to fuck around with anymore. You know, if we all did that, those enormous vampires would collapse from sheer blood starvation. Wouldn't come a day too soon, I'm thinking.
I'ma go buy a pair of speakers for my computer now. The ones I've got are nearly ten years old and sound like shit. Happy trails!
*dances out the door*
