MONEY! ENDLESS MONEY!

[beccatoria]

DUDE.

I RETURNED MY TAX THINGY TO THE GOVERNMENT BECAUSE I QUIT MY JOB A FEW MONTHS BEFORE THE END OF THE TAX YEAR AND FIGURED THAT THEY PROBABLY OWED ME ABOUT £300.

SO THEY WERE PRANNITS AND I SPENT MONTHS CHASING THEM AND BEING TOLD I HAD TO FILL OUT DIFFERENT FORMS AND GETTING CONFUSED.

AND FINALLY, TODAY, I GET MY CHEQUE.

FOR £1,381. THIS IS APPROXIMATELY $2,700.

WTF?!

MONEY! ENDLESS MONEY!

I mean everything on looks...vaguely right (not that I really understand taxes) and basically it looks like they were taxing me at the wrong rate for eighteen months. o.O

But the point is, I just got nearly a grand and a half of FREE MONEY.

I'm torn between the desire to be responsible, use it to pay off 90% of my overdraft so I can go to S. Korea almost debt free (which would be nice since at part of the reason we were going to go there was to help get rid of lingering college debts), and the desire to take some of it and go SHOPPING. I'm not even a shopping-spree-a-holic. There's nothing I even want right now.

I just.

MONEY. THIS IS MORE MONEY THAN I'VE EVER BEEN GIVEN IN A CHEQUE BEFORE. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW THIS HAPPENED. *FLAIL*

I won't get to work on The Thing until at least Saturday afternoon so no worries. Btw, I *love* the new vid. It's your best work yet and it makes me think The Thing could be AWESOME. :) I'll try to leave you detailed feedback at some point, my brain is fried at the moment, but I wanted to let you know I saw it.

And A Grand Day Out sounds...grand!

YAY! I'm so glad you like it! I agree that it has my best editing so far, so it's nice to get confirmation on that. Anyway, I look forward to detailed feedback if you have the time to get around to it, but thanks for letting me know you watched and enjoyed it.

Now I just have to hope that I can do as well with the Thing which, if you hadn't gathered from my recent post, I'm looking forward to! (Though I hope it's clear the post is in the spirit of bouncy boredness rather than bugging you specifically - there really is no hurry except my own meanderingly short attention span... :p)

I totally understood your last post. :) I'm bummed because I would love to be working on fun things and I keep getting sidetracked with not-so-fun things. Right now I feel compelled to catch up on 'Who' since apparently something HUGE happened last night. After that, I hope to work on The Thing. :D
