Got my SSN after countless visits to the local SSA. Like others who have been there before me, I realised that you don't exist in the US if you've got no SSN.

Now I got my utilities signed up
Picked my car, va-va-voom
got my wireless and telephone connected
got car insurance
opened a bank account
got my mortgage pre-approved
my credit card is in the mail
got health insurance
got my driver's licence
and i'm now in the payroll, missed payday though

ALL in one week. damn SSA.

The SSN is the mother of all beaureacracy.
