So those of you who are following blog, have already read all about my sad day when my wallet was stolen. So today I already had a babysitter lined up, so I thought I would stop by the DMV on my way home and get a new license. Silly me...no one stops on by the DMV, we all get in line and spend at least an hour our of lives (if not two) together. So there I was waiting, waiting, waiting. And they don't just do numbers 1-1000, you've got A101, B306, C685, D..G..&F. I want to know what all those letters mean! So lucky me I've got number C680...so I think, ok I can do this, only 15 C's to go. But for some crazy reason, they just keep calling A's & B's and it seems like only once every 10 minutes do they call a C. So needless to say, I was there for a long time! So finally after an hour and twenty minutes, they announce 'now helping number C680 at window 5!' YES! I jump up just like I've won the lottery and run over to lucky window 5. He takes my ID, and then asks me to read the letters in the vision checker...uh oh...hmm... I think, is that an O...or a D...or a C??? so I read them off as fast as I can hoping I got them right. The guy looks at me funny and says, can you try that again...I try again, but he still isn't smiling. 'How about the second line?' he says, I try again and then he tells me I have a problem. 'Well Miss, you didn't get any of those right, I can't give you a license with that kind of vision' OH CRAP I think, I know my eyesight has been getting a little fuzzier, and I do wear glasses at night, but I honestly didn't think my problem was that bad. So the guy tells me to come back with my glasses and try again. Oh my goodness I didn't know whether I wanted to scream or cry more! So I ask him if he can suggest a time I come when it isn't so busy, he looks at me and says 'this isn't busy, usually the wait is 2 hrs'...um thanks man, but is there ever a time when it's less busy then right now and he repeats 'this isn't busy' well gee wiz, thanks a lot sir I'm officially a danger to society since I'm basically blind, I just waited an hour and a half to FAIL my test, and you can't even give me a suggestion to come on a Wednesday, or early in the morning, or late at night? nothing? 'this isn't busy' he repeats a final time. Alright I say, can I at least get an ID, I don't have anything! So he sends me off to get an ID, and I suppose I'll be guessing as to when the best time to head back to the DMV is.
So I guess it's just a sign of my old age that I can't pass DMV test without glasses. Another sad day!
