(no subject)
So, I finally got my license. Only narrowly beating my youngest sister to hers. I know should feel some real satisfaction about this, but for somereason I just feel embarassed that it took me so long. Oh, well, now I have it at least.
On another topic, there was a man at the DMV yesterday who was so annoying I can understand why clerks would evolve attitude. This man was so annoying that when he went to talk to his original clerks supervisor to complain about her, I wanted to stick around just to make sure that they knew it wasn't her fault (I didn't because after listening to him talk to both supervisors for 15 minutes I knew that they understood that already). One tiny example of his idiocy: The clerk is explaining that if he changes his address it will take 20 dollars and several weeks for his card to arrive in the mail. He responds with, "Card, what are you talking about card? Are you talking about my licence? I've never heard it called a card before, you're not making sense". The clerk desperately trying to keep her temper then tries to explain that if he changes his address on his licence it will cost 20 dollars and take several weeks for his licence to arrive, and does he want to do that? He responds with, "Who calls it a card, I've never heard it called a card before?"
This man was so aggravating, and in the entire time I was in that line never stopped whining, that he made me feel sorry for the DMV. Maybe the massive inefficency isn't their fault, maybe it's just the fact that they are required to accomodate the lowest common denominator, how can we fix this? Unsure, but surely we can have some sort of tracking system put in for most govrnment agencies, where by being intelligent you are rewarded by streamlined service? Ah yes, the internet!
Don't mind me, just crazy musings....
