Getting Worried

My Social Security hearing is just less than a month away, and I'm really starting to stress out.  Not because of the hearing itself, although that's scary enough.  What's worrying me is the financial state of the union and how that might affect my chances.

As of this evening the Republicrats are still squabbling over the budget.  If they haven't come to some sort of agreement by Aug 16 I'm afraid I'll be denied again, not out of merit, but because they can't approve anyone until the new budget is in place.  In fact, since I doubt anyone considers Social Security adjudication to be a vital service, I wouldn't be surprised if my appointment was cancelled all together.  And lord only knows when it would be rescheduled for.

So that's what's keeping me up at night this week.  Stupid politicians who will never have to worry about where to find the money for food or medicine or anything else for the rest of their lives, fucking with mine.

Edit: And here's a little something directed to the politicians.
