Default might as well publicize this

At 9:35 or 9:40 this morning, I place a telephone call to Tim Sparks. If his
voicemail still says it's July 17th, I don't bother leaving a message. Come
to think of it, if I get his voicemail at all I don't leave a message. If he
answers I order him to issue me my end of July check as soon as possible. If
I don't get satisfaction then I go to the constituency office of George
Smitherman, my local elected representative (who used to be Sparks' boss as
Minister of Health) and get them to intervene. I've already written them a
letter that I can have printed this morning, and intend to take all my
documentation with me.

If I just get Sparks' voicemail I call Aisha Brown and only ask her whether
my benefits have been reinstated. I expect her to say, "No, there's
information missing"--which means Sparks hasn't even acknowledged receiving
my July 21st letter yet, which I dropped off at his office and had my copy
stamped received. Which is a problem for him because the regs say he's
supposed to review it and come to a decision in five business days. In that
case, or if I get her voicemail, I simply head off to the constituency
office.

Chances are the constituency assistant will attempt to do ass-covering on
behalf of Sparks. I don't care. I just want my end of July check and all my
ongoing future checks as long as I remain eligible for disability.

I met with the community action co-ordinator at the constituency office this
morning. He took my information, had me sign a release form, and told me to
call him tomorrow morning for an update. Hopefully this b.s. will be
resolved soon now that I have someone representing me.

Disability phoned and said it was a computer glitch. My benefits are
un-suspended and I can pick up my check this afternoon.

You must not be in America. There was a glitch with my checks, computer
terminated me when it should not have. That was two months ago, still waiting
for my checks.

The only reason any action was taken on my file is that I went to the
constituency office of the local elected politician and got his constituency
assistant involved. Boy, did the sleepy-eyed pencil-pushers at Disability
start hopping when that happened. Before then they were happy to ignore me.
