This was written mostly as a play by play today.  Thank God, I had my computer.

I need to get my  CNA license renewed.  I have been sitting here in the State Board of Nursing since 1pm.    It is now 2:30pm.   The clock says 1:45 but it said 1:45 back in January when I came here the last time.

I don’t trust it.

You would think that someone would

Ugh, that sucks! The last time I needed a notary (to send to the State of PA telling them to give me all the money left in my father's retirement account, which turned out to be $17) I went to a UPS Store.

Should have checked with you!

Let me congratulate you both on having your official certification and also for possessing the patience of a saint. And not one of those fiery, nation-smiting saints. No, I mean one of those eyes-to-heaven, long-suffering, tortured-and-martyred saints. You know the ones... Yep, that's the kind of patience you have, hon. Well done!

I just relayed this to my RL gf. She said she would have had a melt down half way through the day.

So, thanks. I appreciate the martyred saint thing. I kept saying to myself...must get my CNA.

Must sit here quietly and follow these stupid people's rules.

Must be polite.

Must get my paper notarized.

Thanks for the kudos.

Congratulations on successfully slaying the bureaucracy beast! The journey of a thousand miles begins with a lot of ass-kicking. Or something. *throws confetti*

Thank goodness the day is over.

Aww *Buys a virtual drink for you*
Paper work sucks.

I think I'd have killed a kid or two. In awe of your patience and self control. Hope you have a great weekend to make up for today!

You know. I love kids. Have three of my own. But what do you expect when you take your kids to the State Board of Nursing. It is gonna be a two hour wait, I have not ever gotten out before two hours. So are the kids supposed to sit there, no tv, no gameboy, just a crowded waiting room for hours? Naturally, the kids get antsy. I blame the mom's. I know people can have child care issues but damn, there are places you should just not bring your kids and expect them to behave.

Not at this place. TAKE A NUMBER AND HAVE A SEAT.

Nope.
