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

Zilla Fieri
Though I at least have copies of my SS card and a birth certificate, which they may not even accept
I a♥D♥o♥r♥y♥m♥
Oh gosh
Zilla Fieri
Since work places tend to only accept originals to make copies themselves
BERSERKER
If you explain the situation, they might take the copies as a placeholder until you can get a replacement
BERSERKER
Key word being might. Either way, it's a possibility.
Zilla Fieri
I'm hoping that'll be the case
Happy Nut Year
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
Old Wolf Winter
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
Old Wolf Winter
that'll be a show of good will, that you're informing them ahead of time of complications
Old Wolf Winter
and it'll reflect better on you as a potential employee
Old Wolf Winter
and when I say ASAP, I mean call them before you walk in
Old Wolf Winter
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
Old Wolf Winter
yeah, calling at this time would actually be a bad idea anyway, I think
Old Wolf Winter
you'll wanna do it in the morning, if you can
Old Wolf Winter
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
Old Wolf Winter
...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
Old Wolf Winter
much briefer conversation
Old Wolf Winter
again though, that's an unlikely scenario - they're probably not going to care
Old Wolf Winter
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
Old Wolf Winter
yeah
