On Saturday the refund check from the State of California came in.
On the one hand the elapsed time was really not that long if the State had to verify that the double-payment was not mistakenly made for another one of my vehicles or that I didn't have any other bills outstanding.
On the other hand the check was printed on the 11th and received on the 21st. Large organizations' payables departments often print their checks once or twice a week. Signing them mechanically, stuffing and stamping could take another week before they're actually delivered to the postal service.
Tediously slow, I know, but that's how most of accounting is--checks and signature plates must have physical safeguards--and why an easily bored generation avoids a career in accounting.
The rush to issue COVID relief payments is over (when $billions were stolen) and we're back to normal having to wait for the money.
