:) and :( : I'm only getting about $580something in my take refund. While I'm glad it's money, it turns out that my second job put me in a higher tax bracket and I got less than I thought. And if I had a kid like my little brother, I would've gotten a little over $5K!

:( Mom and my brother are on my case for not filling out applications for jobs in Orlando, but I'd rather wait until I know exactly when I'll be able to start, instead of just saying "the end of March". And because I don't already have an idea for the job I wanna work, they get on my case, saying that if I don't hurry up and get a job lined up, I'm gonna get screwed.

Yeah pretty sure each one of my kids cost me over $5K each a year. Take your $580 and run! :)

Fair enough, as long as we weren't talking $20+. :)
Oh for sure, no way was I going to pay that much.

Heh, checking this thing out, tuns out only the DVD part of this is broken. The VCR part works just fine. Doubt I'd use it much, but that's pretty neat!

Wait, that's a good point. Doesn't EIC max out at like $3K? How'd you get to 5?

:evil: :They sent me the wrong damn movie, so now I have to send it back.
