Today I didn’t have time to write with my morning coffee like I normally do. Instead I have waited until I finished my workout at the gym. The sweat has started to subside so I feel as though I may actually live to see another day. Don’t understand how one human being can shed so much moisture in the form of perspiration each day and still not be dehydrated. Darn something else to ponder.
Last month, July, my current wife received a letter from SSA (Social Security Administration) informing her that her benefits will be halted because she failed to report some income. It would begin again when the overage had been repaid. That seemed to catch our attention for some reason so off the good ole local SSA office. They were very kind and helpful, or so we thought. Yes, they would take care of it and we were in the right. Yeah! File it away Dano!
Fast forward to earlier this week. Hey, another letter from SSA stating that indeed payments would stop in Sept. and not begin until Jan. Wait – this was taken care of. So off to SSA again. Again they were very helpful even staying past closing time. The lady said she couldn’t find any previous entries in the system. WHAT! She redid everything and assured us that it was taken care of this time.
Long story short – it really burns me up when people do not perform routine job functions correctly. They certainly get paid do performing correctly. I don’t know how many times I have had to re-address a situation because someone failed to handled it properly the first time. This usually involves data entry in a computer system. Are my expectations too high? Is the “Peters Principle” that rampant? Has everyone risen to their level of incompetence? I dunno. Maybe I should have stayed at the gym a little longer to work off my rant.
Well, that is my drivel for today. Have a great day and a better tomorrow.
