Social Security Card and Shipping Container Arrived
Yesterday was a big day. The shipping container carrying all our goods arrived and I got my social security card in the mail! Suddenly, the pieces of the puzzle are coming together.
The moving company sent a crew of three guys who moved all of our boxes into the house and unpacked what we told them to unpack. In a matter of a few hours, all our possessions were back in the house and we could start giving everything a place of its own. My previous impressions of the moving company remain the same: they deliver good work.
The mail also had my social security card! It is fairly amazing how a piece of paper that is so important is sent by regular plain mail. I did not even have to sign for it! Since we were busy, the mailman just left it next to the front door and that is where we found it. Amazing! With the number, I can start work (most likely, this Wednesday), I can go for a driver's permit and I can open bank accounts and/or apply for credit cards.
Welcome to life!
