Government fun early in the am.

Yes, I am off to that dreaded brick building called Department of Social Services. Jesse and I need Medical Assistance. I have paid taxes since I was 15 so I don't feel guilty. I hate the waiting room. Taking the number. Filling out numerous forms. The social worker snapping her gum totally bored as she looks at my paper and really does not give a flying fig about me or mine. They don't even open the doors til 8am but most people get there around 7:15am to get in the top ten numbers. So I am off to get covered like a sticky piece of tape with oodles of paperwork. I dread this chore, but I must do this. My biggest problem is my mouth. I always dress down and try to be nice and quiet and hope maybe the worker will actually push my paperwork through quickly. Oh look, the geico caveman commercial is on tv right now. I always wondered what he or they would think if they could see the world today. Pray I stay humble and don't get too frustrated.

Nothing worse than a snotty government paid clerk who is simply so certain they will never be on the other side of that desk.

I actually made out and had a very nice gentleman. Got approved for both. Time to gain some weight. I pick up my card tomorrow. No I am not ashamed. I pay taxes, always have. Plus me and J will get medical. I got there at 7:15, didn't get out til noon but it was well worth it. See I prayed I wouldn't get one of "those" government clerks and it worked. there before the grace of God go I. Some of those social workers should remember that.

LMAO..that was for you..Remember J and I share his fancy computer with a brand new webcam. So I thought it only fair to show me and the girls. They seemed to work with the male social worker I had yesterday. I am off this morning to pick up my emergency food stamp card and medical card. Use the power!!!
