Fuck the DMV
I am officially 0 for 4 on getting everything done in one trip. While the DMV is much better as a whole, today’s excitement came out of the fact that they don’t take credit or debit cards. I know, new technology, it’s tough for them to keep up.
So when I realize I’m 5 bucks short, I go on a very exciting journey through Wayne trying to get money. This involved one out of order atm and one back that was so small it couldn’t do cross-bank withdrawals. Finally I broke down and went to buy a pack of gum and empty their register getting cash back. The gum was very good, but hardly worth the $3 I had to pay because you need to get that much in order to get cash back.
With my wallet now containing enough to get my new license I headed back. After another short wait I was handed one of those messed up sideways licenses. Under 21 for less than two more months and now I have to use one of these stupid things. The question is: Is it worth it to head back to the DMV at the end of the year and get a normal one or just explain to someone every time I go to buy alcohol or go to a casino that, “Yes, I understand what the picture looks like, check the date.” for the next 6 years?
