Beyond Frustrated

June 13th, 2007 Posted in Everyday life

I may never get my license renewed! I went a couple of weeks ago, stood in line for half an hour with only one or two people making it through the line. Turns out the computer systems went down statewide and they had no idea how long it would take for it to come back up. Well, we only had 30 min. parking, so we left. I just tried to go get it done today at a different location, not that it would have mattered in a statewide computer downtime. I got there at 8:15 thinking they open at 8:00. Nope, they open at 8:30. Great. So I wait in line for the 15 minutes, when it is announced that their camera is down at that location and wouldn’t be back up until tomorrow. But the other locations are up. You mean, I’m late for work because of this? So here I am, back at work, more time missed, and I still don’t have a new license to show for it. Let’s also not forget that I’m trying my hardest to not take any leave time so that I have the maximum amount available for maternity leave in October. *sigh* Maybe I’ll try again tomorrow or Friday.

    You shouldn’t have left Mississippi…. Yesterday, I got my car tag renewed, got cash from the ATM, AND got my driver’s license renewed. It only took 40 minutes from start to finish! I was impressed with Starkville for a change! :-)

    My parents would agree with you! Minus the the Starkville part. ;)
    You know, when I do finally get the license renewed, all I’ll get is a printout of it. They actually print the cards in Montgomery and mail it to you later. I did like that in MS you get your actual license the same day. Oh well.

    Oh and Rick says he would have responded to this with “biz-nitch!” I’m nicer than him. ;)
