Plus side: the place where I thought I screwed up my interview called me to head over there tomorrow and mentioned bringing ID and SS card to "speed up the application process"
Zilla Fieri
Which I'm pretty sure only happens when they give you the job
Zilla Fieri
However, my SS card has gone missing and can't be found anywhere
Zilla Fieri
So my only option is to go and get a replacement from a SS building

Though I at least have copies of my SS card and a birth certificate, which they may not even accept
♥Day by Day♥
Oh gosh
Zilla Fieri
Since work places tend to only accept originals to make copies themselves
ghost of lowtax
If you explain the situation, they might take the copies as a placeholder until you can get a replacement
ghost of lowtax
Key word being might. Either way, it's a possibility.
Zilla Fieri
I'm hoping that'll be the case
Ah, Nuts
D= yeah
Airdra
Aaaah, good luck! D:
Zilla Fieri
I'm incredibly fucking upset over this. I can at least understand not having a way to order one online, I guess, but after all that shit, it's a minimum of ten days before it might come in
Zilla Fieri
Excuse me, ten business days
Airdra
If it makes you feel any better, my mom used to work for Social Security, and I asked her about this, and she doesn't think it'd be a problem with the employer to give them a copy, at least as a temporary thing
Airdra
(Like she hasn't worked there for 30 years, but this is a Thing that Happens)
Zilla Fieri
I really hope there's no problem with it. It's my only option right now
Zilla Fieri
Which only angers me further because fuck, my life is in a stalemate. Every time something hopeful or good happens, something just fucking counters it
Big Bad Awoo
as a precaution, you can tell the employer ASAP that you've only got a copy available, and a new card will be on its way
Big Bad Awoo
that'll be a show of good will, that you're informing them ahead of time of complications
Big Bad Awoo
and it'll reflect better on you as a potential employee
Big Bad Awoo
and when I say ASAP, I mean call them before you walk in
Big Bad Awoo
I seriously doubt that you're the first person in their hiring process that this has happened to, so they'll probably be pretty understanding
Zilla Fieri
I'll have to try that in the morning. They're closed by now, so I don't think anyone will be able to respond, unless they have people by the phones overnight
Big Bad Awoo
yeah, calling at this time would actually be a bad idea anyway, I think
Big Bad Awoo
you'll wanna do it in the morning, if you can
Big Bad Awoo
or whenever you wake up, before you start getting ready to go and such
Zilla Fieri
Yeah. Ideally, there'll be someone there to pick up the phone by then
Big Bad Awoo
...the other "bonus" to calling is if they do want an official card, you'll have the chance to learn that over the phone, rather than walking in there and then having them say it to your face
Big Bad Awoo
much briefer conversation
Big Bad Awoo
again though, that's an unlikely scenario - they're probably not going to care
Big Bad Awoo
long as the new one's on its way
Zilla Fieri
I'll have to go put in the request either afterwards or the next day. I have to apparently print out an application and then go to a place to order it
Zilla Fieri
But...hopefully what I have can hold them over for a bit
Big Bad Awoo
yeah
