I'm feeling pretty good about today. I had very little to eat and I got a lot done at work. I had a nice conversation with one of my daughter's on the way home. But today started out with a dreaded task. I had to go to the DMV. I bought my younger daughter a used Mini Cooper in September. The previous owner had personalized license plates so we had to wait for new ones. They never came. I ended up spending a couple of hours at the DMV getting new ones. Long story-short, the registration was still attached to the old plates and I had to undo that and get tags for the new plates today.
I have a love hate relationship with the DMV. What I hate about it is not really knowing how to get through the system and the other reason is that I have to wait there for a really long time to get done what I need to get done. Today started out poorly. I forgot the paperwork I needed at home and that cost be about half an hour. When I returned to the DMV I had to wait in a line that wrapped around the building while it was raining.
The thing I love about the DMV is that its full of every kind of person on earth. You have lots of time to hang out with total strangers and make friends with people you would otherwise have no reason to meet. Today I made conversation with a Fed Ex guy. His name was Randy and although he is much more complex than merely a Fed Ex guy, I got to find out a lot about how our packages get shipped across the country.
