My morning has been very lazy; mostly re-reading my own blog and chatting to Brett’s parents. Brett on the other hand has been in DMV Hell. You may recall from previous posts that he is trying to get his driving license renewed. Yesterday, after spending about half of the day there, shuffling from queue to queue and taking a theory test, there weren’t any slots left for him to do the practical test so he had to go back today.
He left around 7:30 this morning, as the DMV opens at 8:00am and he wanted to be sure of getting it done as soon as possible. Unfortunately he’d forgotten to take the receipt with him that proved he’d paid for his test yesterday and they didn’t have a record of it on their computer systems (?!?!), so he was back at home a little after 8:00am. He returned again around 9:00am with the news that he had a test scheduled for 10:00am and duly set off again around twenty before. A little before 11:00 his mum received a call asking where her proof of insurance was – normally it should be kept in the car, but it was still in the house and he needed it to show he was insured to drive the car for his test. So his dad set off with the necessary documentation. Luckily the local DMV branch is only ten minutes drive from home.
After all this mucking about I really hope he passes! It’s going to be a severe kick in the teeth if he doesn’t, plus it’s going to throw a wrench in the works of our plans for getting to
