Welcome to #Checkin for Saturday, September 28, 2024!
Why howdy there #Checkin people, it’s me, Rod again. Saturday, Caturday!
Went to breakfast at some cute little place in Liberty Station's Art District with the kids. Had the Vegan Tres Leches pancakes. It was actually pretty good. After walking around checking some galleries, we headed to Cafe Moto so they could stock up on coffee beans. We got hot no-whip soy milk Mexican mochas (sigh) and hung out there until noon.
They took off to have lunch with my son's cousin and his family. I was headed home when I remembered that I still needed to renew my license before my birthday. Whoopsie! Sa I headed straight for my local office of the California DMV.
Did the smartphone checkin thing, and was like 12th in line when I arrived. Got to the window with my birth certificate, my car registration, and my auto insurance bill. The clerk spoke so softly I could hardly understand them, so I turned up my hearing aids and asked them to speak up. Obviously annoyed, they continued to speak the same mumbled manner, and I asked them again if they could speak up. At this they pulled out a piece of paper and began to write that I didn't have the required number of proofs of residency.
WTAF?! Two of the documents were in the envelopes mailed to me by the bleeping state! When I pointed this out, they dismissively handed me a list of acceptable documents, none of which are any guarantee that I actually live at my address, only that I get mail there. What bullshit. Of course by this time the security guard had noticed I was agitated and moved nearby. I demanded the clerk give me back my documents and left, giving the security guard the stink-eye on my way out.
Fuck the DMV. I went straight to Gelato Vero for some chocolate hazelnut gelato and, of course, moar coffee, which is my personal version of Ritalin. I'll guess I'll try dealing with those DMV bastards again first thing Monday morning.
As usual, the topic is open
