Refund this!

Much to my shock and amazment, there was an additional 800 some dollars in my checking account when I got home from work. This not being pay day, I was surprised. Then I realized... the federal government gave me my tax refund without an audit. I am truly amazed. The primary reason I was expecting an audit, is that a former employer refused to issue me a W2 form. Apparently, even after proper notification of a new address, they sent the W2's to my old address. I politely asked them to reissue them to me, and they said that was impossible. I kindly reminded them of their legal obligation to get me a W2 by January 31st at the latest. They said it wasn't going to happen, and I should deal.

Anyway - no audit.

So, as I was lying in the bathtub this afternoon, weighing the option of what to do with my new found wealth, I was hit with many options:
A. Pay down the student loans
B. Pay down the car
C. Afford groceries
D. Put it in the meager savings account
E. Be able to pay next month's mortgage

In reality, all of the options seemed about equal in my mind. Until the best idea on earth came to me

I CAN BUY A LASER DISC PLAYER

Now, I all have to do is find one, and my life will be complete. They are hard to come by, but I feel with a little dedication, I can have one by morning. Wish me well in my quest.
