So pissed at the government right now.

Way back in June, I went in to renew my driver's license. After some drama, I was fingerprinted, photographed, and issued an interim license and told that my new license would be in the mail soon.

That was two months ago, and my interim license expired on Friday. Since I sort of need a valid driver's license to do my freaking job, I am more than a little upset. I have an 800 number for the DMV, but when I called last week I was told that they couldn't help me until the interim expired.

So now I'm going to have to call in to work tomorrow and have [livejournal.com profile] kshandra drive me over to the DMV. Where I am going to stand on desks until this issue is fucking resolved. I am leaving that building in one of two ways: with an extension on my license with a new one on the way, or in handcuffs. I am that angry.

Wish me luck, or look for me as breaking news, whichever suits your mood better.

Is there a local media Web site you'd recommend, or do you expect your potential response to make national headlines? Also, you might want to set up a legal defense fund before heading over to the DMV, just in case....

I assume you meant "couldn't help me".

And that is complete and utter bullshit. If those really are the rules, somebody needs to hold a fire under a few legislators to get the rules changed to something more sensible.

If you have to take hostages, demand a license for your younger brother-in-law as part of the deal.

You do know that Monday after a furlough Friday is called hell day don't you?
I'll watch out for you.
And Good Luck! I do mean that. I actually don't want to see you on the news tomorrow evening.
*hugs*
