MrGrumpy gets post

Another early morning for MrGrumpy, the traffic was a little heavier and MrGrumpy only just made it to the office by 7am ready for his weekly call with the UK team, MrA, MrAB, and MrC.
After the call MrGrumpy escaped from Alcatraz1 meeting room and returned to his cube, on the way he checked for post, wow, for the first time "he had mail".

There were two pieces of mail, the first was the registration certificate for the Mustang along with the sticker (or Tags) for the licence plate. The second was the insurance documents, MrGrumpy was all sorted on the paperwork for his car now.

Todays jobs for MrGrumpy as well as working was to arrange to get a SSN (social security number) and put in his expenses. He had already filled out the form required for his SSN, he looked up the address of the local office and rang the number it said to call before visiting the office, he was surprised that the automated system on the phone used voice recognition and MrGrumpy was even more amazed when it did understand what he said. The call was a total waste of time as all it did was tell him to do what he had already done and he did not need to make an appointment.

So MrGrumpy went to the Social Security office, hidden nicely on the 3rd floor of a nondescript building on East El Camino Real (Mountain View), once at the office the security guard pointed at the touch screen terminal, MrGrumpy selected the New card option and out poped a ticket A48, he sat and waited. This brought back memories of sitting and waiting for hours in the Embassy when getting his Visa. As there were only about 3 other people waiting, he expected the wait to be quite a bit shorter. When called MrGrumpy handed over his passport and filled in document, to his amazement there was nothing wrong, he just sat silently as MrOfficial typed in his details, several minutes later MrOfficial signed and stamped a printed paper and handed it back to MrGrumpy, that was it. MrGrumpy thanked MrOfficial and left, that was very easy, within 2 week the SSN card should arrive in the post.
