Even the escalators were interminably slow … I finally went to the Social Security Administration’s local office this afternoon to prove to them that I was born on June 26. It was a mind-numbing experience.

Social Security Number Part II

Social Security Number
My birthday is June 26, 1973. I know. I was there. That’s also what my mom told me, and she swears that she was there, too.
This has previously never caused a problem for me. Oh, sure, it’s right in the middle of the summer, sandwiched between several other family members’ birthdays. And I never got to have a party in school - birthday skip day and all that. But all in all I like my birthday. I’m actually quite fond of it.
They even let me file my State of California return, which is only slightly less complicated than particle physics.
This year I filed my taxes with TurboTax. I used their service last year and had no problems. It’s quick and painless - even on a 56k modem on April 15th.
They handle all the little details to which I hate to pay attention. They ask all the questions that I would just blithely skip and miss much-needed deductions: “Did I install solar heating last year? Did I adopt a child? Did I use my truck to do business on an Indian reservation?” Stuff like that. They even let me file my State of California return, which is only slightly less complicated than particle physics.
