You have a very bad Graduate Admissions Office, part deux

Next phone call:

Me: Hi, I'm calling on the status of my application. You say you haven't received my application fee yet and I mailed it over a week ago.

GAO: Hmmm... what's your social security number:

Me: 123-45-6789

GAO: Nope, we haven't gotten it yet.

Me: I mailed it over a week ago. When should I panic?

GAO: Don't panic yet. And if you need help, you should call the GAO.

Me: Aren't you the GAO?

Not!GAO: No, we're Fees.

Me: GAO told me to call you.

Not!GAO: They shouldn't have. They shouldn't be giving you this phone number.

Me: I'm sorry for bothering you. I thought this was the number to call.

Not!GAO: No, not your fault.

Me: Okay, thanks so much.
