Thoughts...while on hold for 1h 15m with the Social Security Administration
It could happen...and happen...and happen to you! WRITTEN & ILLUSTRATED by PETER MOORE
AS A MAN OF A CERTAIN AGE, I find myself peering down life’s long road and asking: Is there an ATM down there?
Turns out there is. It’s called the Social Security Administration, and I’ve been handing over money to them since age twelve, when I had my first job as a counselor at Camp Teepee, in Monroe, Connecticut. As a return on all my years of forced contributions, the least they could do is hire a few more operators at the call center. How long can I afford to wait?
OTOH, listening to hold music does give a man time to think about all sorts of things…
“The economist John Maynard Keynes said that in the long run, we are all dead. If he were around today he might say that, in the long run, we are all on Social Security and Medicare.”
—Ben Bernanke

It doesn’t take much to make me happy, actually.
Probably would have been better to go to the office. Like your sketches. Did you do them while waiting your turn?
SSA doesn't have one of those newfangled "tell us when you want us to call back" features? I've actually had some luck with that when I've needed to reach out to some other gummint agencies recently.
