THANK YOU DRIVER'S LICENSE OFFICE LADY

Thank you for giving me a driver's license and for making it one of those 8 year deals so that this stressor in my life doesn't have to happen again for a long time.

Thank you for encouraging me to push my entire head against the vision and sign test thingy so that I could actually see letters lest you think I was blind.  I appreciate you telling me not to yell out the regulatory and warning signs, but just to read what they say.  Me yelling was supposed to indicate that I am an awesome driver.

I am relieved that I actually had the exact $32 in cash so as to pay you for this service, since you would not take my check with my maiden name.  I can't get new checks without a driver's license with my married name.  Seems ironic.  Especially since I had to fork over my $2 bill that I had been keeping in my wallet for years for good luck.  I laughed a little when I wished you good luck, especially after you mentioned that $2 bills are bad luck.  Oops.  Maybe that's been my problem this entire time?

Thanks for putting my lighthouse back on my license and again making me an organ donor.  I was still nervous when I responded that I wasn't sure if anyone wanted my organs but they would be available if needed.  I hope that isn't bad karma, but I am proud to have a little heart on my license.

I hope that you relieved the fears of the Dad who brought a new driver into the office.  A woman in front of him remarked that he must be excited for her.  He replied that he was mortified.  Good luck with that.

It weirded me out a little when the computer camera supposedly broke when I was sitting in the chair, cheesing in front of 16 of my closest Carrboro friends.  But hopefully there is a shot of me smiling, and not looking stoned like my last picture.  That was a horrible picture.  And I wasn't stoned.

But mostly thanks for not failing me, for whatever reason.  I was already illegally driving and it was a big concern of mine.  The legal train rides again.
