Questionable Status

The way things stand right now, I have to say that even I am questioning my status as a legal citizen. I have no Social and unlike the President, I have nothing that even looks like an original Certificate of Live Birth. I do have a valid driver's license, but it was given to me under shady circumstances. I handed in my old one and flashed a copy of my marriage license and got a license under a name that I could never prove I had. My passport is expired by almost a decade and I have no other state issued identification.

In short, I have absolutely NO proof that I am who I say I am. This would normally mean nothing to me seeing as though I have been living off the grid for quite some time now, but I recently got a new job and they have asked me for proof of my ability to work in this country. As a legally born citizen, this should not be a problem, but I have no proof that I am such a citizen and cannot get such proof in by Thursday, unless a call from my other will suffice. I doubt that is going to fly.

I went today to the SS office to apply for a new SSN card, but that will take 2 weeks. I am hoping that the receipt plus my "magic" marriage license will once again get me past the guards. I mean, does it really matter if I'm legal? Since they keep raising the age, I will probably not make it collect the Social Security they plan to take out anyway. I get benefits through Husband's job. Besides, if I were going to fake something, it would not be a girl from Queens with a questionable credit rating...or maybe I would as part of my ingenious plan. In a so stupid, it is genius kind of way.

I am just saying - Why all this fuss about proof?
