Off to DMV...

[Bailey Guns]

At the DMV office on Mississippi and Tejon at 0930....#273. #208 now being served. At 1130 they called #220. 10 work stations in that office. 3 were manned. Computers go down at about 1135. Guy tells me the Northglenn office isn't very busy.

I head up to Northglenn. They're busier than the office I just left. I wait there 20 minutes and 1 number is called.

I drive back to MS office. They're now calling #248. I still have #273 so I sit and wait. And wait. Finally call my number at 1458. Takes me 15 minutes to take the HazMat written test. I place it in the basket at 1517. At 1550 I get called to the counter and my test is graded. Missed 2. Get sent to wait for the cashier and walk out of DMV at 1622.

I love seeing my state tax dollars (not) at work.

My fiance was at the DMV for several hours just like that. If it wasn't for the computers going down (and most of the people leaving) she would have been there nearly as long as you. What's worse is I sent her to the wrong DMV. She waited for like 3.5 hours just to be told that she had to go some where else. There wasn't enough time in the day to finish up at the other place.

[Bailey Guns]

Yeah...once I got back to the MS office so many people had left it actually picked up the pace to almost glacial speeds.

When she got to 269 it was a sweep. No one answered so it went right thru to me at 273.

I spent one of the longest days of my life at Denver MEPS...July 2, 1979.

Spent all day at the MS office I think the puters are deigned to go down.

I agree. That day was the absolute longest ever. Nov 12, 1996

I recently had a very pleasent experience at a Colorado Springs DMV. I walked in to the DMV at about 9:00AM so that I could get a title transfered in my name and new plates for a motorcycle. Since I was in uniform, I got to cut everybody else in line. The very nice lady working behind the desk was more than helpful and somewhat attractive. I was probably in there for a total of 5 minutes.

[Bailey Guns]

Yeah...I saw those big signs about military in uniform. I think next time I'll raid the closet, find something that fits (does anyone still wear woodland BDUs?) and get a haircut. See if that helps...

[Sharpienads]

does anyone still wear woodland BDUs?

Not that I'm aware of. The AF quit wearing them at the begining of this month, or will quit wearing them at the end of the month. But I doubt the DMV would know that. It's worth a try.
