Fun Day

So I started the day with a root canal. Which is always fun. A couple hours later I was back at the dentist because the temporary filling they put in the tooth fell out.
Got that fixed and headed over to the DMV to get a new license. While I am waiting my turn, I was number 55 and they were on 30, some guys across the room start yelling at each other. Things were thrown out there like, “hey we speak English in this country!” to which the other guys yelled something back in Spanish. Then the (of course) white guy start spewing profanities. It was getting ugly and I thought it might be time to head on out when the Hispanic group of guys got up and left. I just sat there, embarrassed. Ugh. People. You find all kinds at the DMV. I ended up sticking it out and leaving with yet another ugly drivers license picture.

    I got my DL renewed recently downtown at city hall. Talk about characters. The woman in front of me told me the entire story of how she hasn’t had a license for 5 years because of a warrant out for her arrest. If she was caught that day on the warrant she was just going to have to “sit it out” because she wouldn’t be able to pay the fine. Then the man behind me proceeded to talk about how his license expired because he just got out of prison(!). I had to go in person because there was some glitch when I renewed mine online, so when I finally made it to the front of the line they told me I didn’t need a number – that I could just cut and be the next one to get a picture taken. As happy as I was to skip the wait, I was also QUITE apprehensive cutting in line in front of the clientele there.

    WOW. It never amazes me how ignorant people can be. There is a really really good documentary that every “american” should watch. It’s through Iron Weed, called Wetback. Very interesting.
