Pine-Sol Clean

For reasons I cannot go into at this time I had to go to the Social Security office today. I was there for around two and a half wonderful hours. I have seen first hand where our tax money is going. There were people in neck braces, people so over weight they feel they cannot work, people with multiple babies, and then a few new brides with new last names. I simply needed a replacement card. I had my passport ready, I had printed and carefully filled out all the paperwork-but I was stuck behind the finest in locals I could ever ask for.
There was a cop running the circus. He was the best thing the place had going for it! He sent people out who were talking loudly on cell phones, asked people with screaming babies to take them outside, and made the smokers move from huddling around the door. Thank you!
When you get to the office you have to get a number and wait in the chairs. I was scared of the chairs. I don't want to be that close to people. I was scared of the germ factor, closeness, kids, lack of English, someone being chatty, or any other thing with all the people in a small room. I stood for two hours being thankful that I could. The bathroom door was operated by a push button that held the door for 15 seconds or so. Men would go in the bathroom and get frustrated and just wizz with the door open. It was great! Wish you were there!
Once I got to the window the woman helping me told me about her cat, blinds in her apartment, and how she cannot get everything together to get her passport. The lady looked just like the Pine-Sol lady with the pronounced gap between her front teeth. They should mail out my new one in five days....yippy!

Tomorrow is the DMV! I can hardly wait!!
