Wouldn't You Trust This Man In An Oil Refinery?So here is the story leading up to the "drug test" story.
Last week Nana noticed that Social Security had my birthday wrong on my retirement statement and so we called the SS hot line. I was told that this form had to be filled out, taken to a SS Office along with your birth certificate and everything else pertinent to proving that I was who I say I am and prove that I actually was born on such and such a date. After listening to babble on for a while I finally asked what would happen if I didn't change the birth date. Well this person was long winded and she commenced to lecturing me about how the government has been cracking own on degenerates like me since 9-11. I wouldn't get social security, I wouldn't be allowed on a plane etc.
I, like a fool told her that I get on a plane every week. After 45 minutes we finally departed ways. I id fill out the forms and all but did not make it to the SS Office yet.
Now fast foreword to this morning. I went back to the office that I report to for this job to drop off the drug test form. I was informed that there was a problem with my Social Security Number. I then had to go to the SS Office in Torrance, CA to get a certified letter stating that I was who I say I am and that I am the owner of my SSN that I have carried since my sophomore year in high school.
I got to the SS Office, took a number and waited for one and a half hours before I could go state my case. I told the lady what was going on and she asked me some questions tat only I would know. Satisfied, she stamps a form that says I am who I am.
So, the lady on the phone from the SS Office made sure that I would have trouble using my SSN from now on until I get the birth date changed.
I would love to tell my office that I cannot fly anywhere because the Social Security Office won't let me get on a plane. Fat chance that will happen.
