Day 70

So, today I had the luxury of going to the DMV to renew my license. Now, the rest of Delaware gets to renew their license at 25, but since I had to change my name a few years ago I get to go a year later than everyone else. So, Mike took a half(ish) day and off to the DMV I went. I scoped out the video cams before I went and it looked like it was gonna suck but I had to go anyway. So, I get there and its all set up different. I take my number and have a seat. 25 people ahead of me, great! So I pull out my Kindle and start reading. Luckily, the were going through numbers pretty fast. Finally I was called up to window 17. I hand the guy all my stuff (they require your first born to get a new license now), sign my signature, take my pic. He is finalizing everything and his system crashes. Just my luck. So he escorts me over to the first window and told me that that gentleman would help me after he was done with his customer. Well, his customer happened to be a kid getting his very first license so it took FOREVER. Does the kid want to be an organ donor...does he want to register to vote? All of these he had to confer with his mother on what to say. Finally, finally, finally, they're done and I am called. The guy was SUPER nice and despite my agitation for having to stand awkwardly in the middle of nowhere for 30+ mins, I maintained my p's and q's. This guy actually put me in a good mood by the time I left...and boy was I happy to be getting out of there. I am now the proud owner of a ridiculously looking, stern faced Delaware license.
