My sleep patterns are way out of whack (again). I am sleeping during the day and wide awake at night. The worst part... I'm supposed to wake up at 6:00 to get to the DPS office by 7:00AM. I don't see that happening really. I really need to go though.
(Looking around)
I'll tell you a little secret as long as you don't go telling everyone.
I'm driving illegally. My license expired last Friday and I haven't been able to renew it yet. I wanted to renew it today (seeing how I was off already), but the DPS office was closed (President's Day). So you can understand my dilemma. Can't you?
I know, I know... I can hear the logical reasoning already. I was warned in advance about my license expiring soon. Well, I planned on renewing my license online. No wait, no fuss. Just use my same picture and send me my damn license. Only, there was a small problem. So I try to renew my license last Thursday (a whole day earlier than the expiration. Thank you very much.), but there was this little issue. Remember when I mentioned my wallet getting stolen last summer?
Well, I was just using an older license (same information except for the address). It has been working fine for the past seven months or so, until last week. Apparently, each license is issued a completely separate number. The driver's license number is not good enough to make the license unique. They print an eleven (I think it's eleven) digit number on the side of the picture. And they require this number in order to renew your license online. SHIT.
So, what are my options? One, go to the DPS office in person and wait like cattle for slaughter. Or two, see option number one. Looks like I'll be wasting a few hours of my life tomorrow morning.
Have you ever driven into any of the border towns in Mexico? If you have, then you know about the boys who watch your car for a nominal fee. There are street kids that will watch your car and make sure no one steals it for a few dollars. I seriously doubt they are watching my car, but it makes me feel less paranoid about my car anyway. I wish those kids were at the DPS station. I could then have one wait in line for me while I chill in my car. Then when my place in line reaches the front, they notify me that my spot is near the front and I take their place. That would be one hell of a system. You can't tell me that I'm the only one that would take advantage of that kind of service.
DAMN IT...
I only hope I can go to sleep by 2:00ish. I'm wide awake and it's one in the feakin morning. Hah... I love that word, freakin. FREAKIN HOT MAGMA. Freakin rambling again, I am.
