i survived dc's dmv

most people bring a book to entertain them as they wait to get their business done at the dmv.

not freshmeat.
she brought me.
(it's because i can juggle)


in a pure moment of idiocy, i agreed to accompany freshmeat to the dmv, where she was going to change her out-of-state license to a dc one.

we went last saturday expecting to wait forever.
it took us a grand total of 20 minutes.

seriously.
twenty-fucking-minutes.*

i've never seen the dmv move so quickly in all my years.

first, there was only one person ahead of her to get a number. then we sat down to wait until her number was called. TWO MINUTES later, she was called and at a window.

i'm so stunned.
i may go back this saturday just to see if it can be done again.

*it took us only twenty minutes to get through security, get a number, get called to a window, verify her information, pay, get a photo taken, get her new license, and get my coat back on.
