sigh...my ordeal at the DMV this morning...

First, i had to open the door…yeah, no doorman.

Then there’s a woman at the front desk wanting ALL KINDS of information:
“Do you have an appointment?” no
“Last name?” —-
“First name?” —-
“Have a seat. Someone will call for you shortly.”

Then, BEFORE I COULD EVEN SIT DOWN AND PERUSE AN OLD MAGAZINE, my name was called!!! What nerve.

I showed my registration renewal card, the information was entered, and a total was given. Then i had to REMOVE MY CREDIT CARD FROM MY WALLET and slide it into the reader! Where has customer service gone? i swear…

Then i was given my renewal sticker and HAD TO PLACE IT ON THE CAR MYSELF!!!

And now, thinking i had my ENTIRE DAY planned, i have to devise new ways to entertain myself! Hence my presence here.

i really think i oughta sue!

my visits to the Illinois DMV have been quite painless. People friendly. For the last several years I have been able to do everything online.

You should be celebrating!

(I am still trying to get over the fact that the 'backwards' state of Tennessee, where I moved from, could give me my license on the same day I go to get it. Here, in the supposedly 'progressive' midwest, it takes 4-6 weeks after the visit to get it.)

Wild, eh?
