We are sorry to learn of the Death of "Santa G. Goose" and wis to express our deepest sympathy.

Signed Chief Operation Division.



Wake-up Monday morning and your Wife opens up a letter addressed to the ESTATE of her husband and they tell her he's DEAD!.
Not cool ! Not funny !

I get on the Phone and Call the VA where the letter came from in MN.
The Guy comes on the phone and says This is "Don"

I say "Goodmorning I have a Question about my file"
He says "Ok whats the file #### "
I tell him
He goes "Whats the problem?"
I say "Whats the Vets Status?"
He goes "Died, and what is your relationship to the decesed?"
I go "I'M HIM I'M NOT DEAD!"
Rep goes "Ok, so call Chicago"
I said "YOU SENT ME THE LETTER, WHY?"
Rep goes "I dont know Call Chicago."

Call Chicago after talking to Mr Personality
Chicago rep "Goodmorning Sir How can I help you"?
I said "Can you make be rise from the Dead?"
<img src=newicons/anim_shock.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=newicons/anim_shock.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_question.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle>WHAT!"?
i SAID "I'm dead according to you folks I would like to tell you I'm not DEAD and what happened"?
The Chicago Rep "Oh Dear lets look, They dont even have a DATE OF DEATH. CAUSE OR ANYTHING IN HER!!!!"
HOW COULD THAT OF HAPPENED?"""" i'M FIXING THAT RIGHT NOW!"

I said "Ok, do I get my Check Friday ?"

Chicago Rep "No ,it'll take 2-3 days to update everything but I'm going to TRY MY BEST TO FIX THIS AND I APOLOGIZE VERY MUCH"

i GO "Well I guess I can wait a few extra days, because you rose me from the Dead"

So I've been dead as far as they can tell since June 1-10 or so.

I asked her "Since I'm Dead can I get my life insurance"<img src=newicons/anim_lol.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=newicons/anim_lol.gif border=0 align=middle>

I'm framing this letter!

You should've waited till your insurance check came in before you called VA!! <img src=newicons/anim_lol.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=newicons/anim_lol.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=newicons/anim_lol.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=newicons/anim_lol.gif border=0 align=middle>

good to see your not dead. we need an old cranky smart ass to keep this board livened up.

going wifi with a pda soon so i can post from the ambulance, you've been more lively on the board here than I have.

matt

Wow I walking into the LIGHT and its just like I'm still Here at my Desk.
Is that a Good thing or a Bad Thing?????????
My friends are all here and Some have told me
"You can GO TO HELL !"
And I've replied
"Ok but I'll be too busy Shaking hands with all my Friends to Care!"
So does the Computer Count ?????????


Racegal,you cant just "Press the wrong Button to get a" Death Notice"
It takes a series of events to trigger it and with the Death Certific,date of Death,Cause not being entered it would of had to have been missed by atleast 3 DIFFERANT OFFICESIN 3 STATES, Dozens of Goverment Employees, plus its a process the "SURIVIORS " Start,not the VA.So theirs a "LOOKING INTO THATS GOING ON"

I'm going to write a Book someday on How many times I should of "BEEN DEAD" ,"FIRED","KICKED-OUT OF THE SERVICE" and the
"MIRACLES" or "UNEXPLAINED " Things that I've seen and had happen to myself.
I know why they've happened but Everyone believes their own way.
Call it what you want but Thats just my "Belief"

So I "m either
A. be the most "Lucky" when it comes to everything but MONEY
B. They tell me "God will never give you more than you can handle"
so I must be a Glunt for PUNISHMENT
C. "BIG BROTHER is out to get me" Wheres my TIN FOIL HAT???????
D. " ITS ALL A DREAM, and I havent woke up yet
E. "Its my version of the Movie "GROUND HOGS DAY"
F. "People just like to "SCREW WITH ME"
G. "CUSTOMER SERVICE FOLKS "Love talking with me"

SO pick you choice

Fender Check you mail I sent you a copy of the letter.

I'm waiting to Hear from the PVA in the AM Before I go onthe "PUBLIC RAMPAGE" and call up "Durbin and Obama" and the Media.

Because this has to STOP!

Then I want to GET PAID!<img src=newicons/anim_lol.gif border=0 align=middle>

I told the Lady today after she said "I'm glad your taking this "SO WELL JOKING AND LAUGHING"

I told her "I stopped crying years ago,you can get use to pain and stress and when people ask you "How are you doing"?
They really just want to hear you say "I'm doing fine" If you say something else your "Bitching or Whinning" or "They've been thru worst"
So I just Laugh now.

Besides theirs all ways someone else in WORST CONDITION or HAVE BIGGER PROBLEMS and they dont complain So why should I ??Theres always a reason and I might be able to someday help someone else with the same problem.

But I even admitt ITS PRETTY FUNNY,But I wasnt LAUGHING EARLIER.

Goose sit back and enjoy some 100 proof embalming fluid.

Let us know when you are raised from the dead officially so we can see if you walk on water also.

I am convinced that to be a federal employee all you gotta do is be a warm body, note I did not say have a pulse or brain.

Goose, my condolences on your untimely passing. Good to see that you found an internet terminal from the beyond, fire a few lightning bolts down on the spamers while your up there. Someones getting a big lump of coal in december....

Seriously tho, glad that your still with us.

Goose, you need a new profile signature:

I have found out that when they say there are "Only Two things in life"
"Death and Taxes" Their wrong There's 4 things

" Life" in which your Screwed with everyday to bring upon ,"Death", Then the Goverment sends your Family a letter that "Demanding their Money Back!", and then "They Tax you on it"!

So Just like everything else ,It COSTS YOU

All this has made be FINALLY FIGURE OUT WHAT THE REASON WHY I'M HERE<img src=newicons/idea.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=newicons/idea.gif border=0 align=middle>

I have figured out my reason for life,

“ My reason for life is to have companies and Agency’s mess with me so I can help them correct problems then they can use those “Examples “ to train others on how to handle that problem or develop software or policy’s to keep it from happening again and deal with the individual on the other end.”



Really its because I have such a “Nice Voice” and they like talking to me.

I was just told by "DEERS" that they were busy and they would call me back so they wouldnt take up "My time Waiting"

I told her "I dont mind I'm Dead I have Eternity "

Well lastest Update

I'm ALIVE AGAIN! and Folks are "CATCHING AND FECTHING" trying to Fix the problem and get my benefits re enstated.
So I'm going to let it ride while they do their "PROBE" And I have a Great Bunch of VSO's from the PVA on it too. I dont get an answer or if it gets SCREWED-UP, Then We'll be going to the IG and Durbins and Obamas Office.

Matt, St.Peter told me I didnt have "Authorization" from my Wife to Die and HELL wouldnt take me.
So never made it that far.

Sounds like a epidsoe from a old MASH rerun where Hawkeyes father get a telegram telling him that his son has been KIA.

"GLAD TO HAVE BEEN THERE AND HAVE BEEN PROUD TO HAVE SERVERED"

My thoughts to Mike,

How many shows have you seen where the "IRS" tells someone their "Dead" and the have that as a story line.

I'm telling you I'm going to write a book
Titled
"Life according to Goose"
How many times Companies and Differant Agency's have Screw With Me

I see all these other books so might as well get in on the Action<img src=newicons/anim_lol.gif border=0 align=middle>

I sent Fender a Copy of the letter, and if anything comes out of this that letter should show Some more Compasion and understanding than
"Your Not Entiled to the Benefits The Vetran Recivied the Month they died So you WILL RETURN THEM as soon as possible Oh by the way We take Visa,Master card and Discover Card.

That about the Jest of the letter.

But I have found some "Great Folks from the VA who take their Job to Heart and are Working very hard to fix everything."
So Not all Goverment Employees are bad or un caring.

I can laugh now and I'm glad we all could laugh together but Boomer probably has it right though
