Well today I went to go take my drivers test. This.. is my story. (lewl)

So I'm trying to take my Driver's test right? I have a learner's permit, it's going to expire on the 11th of November (tomorrow..), and I have well over 500 hours of driving, while you need 50 hours to qualify.

First appointment I made, I go down to the DMV and there's a lady there (which apparently, she comes over from the town 20 miles from here) who I make the appointment with. She says "Come in on Thursday and we'll test you". That's all she said. I didn't know whether we were taking their car or whatever. We get there on Thursday (On time, I might add), and she tells me to bring in the car's registration and insurance. Okay, I'm fine with that. I go outside, and apparently the insurance that my grandma had in the car (Which we later find out that wasn't the right insurance) expired the DAY before I get there (October 1st, the appointment was October 2nd) and she didn't have registration in her car. Well, I didn't even KNOW I was going to be using my grandma's car. So she tells me she can reschedule at 2:15PM, so I accept. This is about an hour away. So we bust our ass up to the house to find insurance and registration. We find the insurance card thank god, but we can't find the registration. So we get her car title, go down to the MVD (Not to be confused with DMV) to get her registration reprinted. We get that, bust our ass back to the DMV, we get there at 2:10 and wait until 2:25 and SHE NEVER GOT THERE. Wow that's nice. We do all this shit and she didn't even make it to our appointment.

Well. About a week later, I lose my wallet, with my permit in it. I go down to the DMV to get it reprinted one day, and the DMV was closed, with a note on the door.

"Feeling pretty tired, and I have no appointments to make. I'm closing early. Please come again another day."

...............................................

About a week later, I go back down to the DMV. It was closed. Again. With another note on the door.

"Due to illness, today, Thursday, the DMV will be closed. Please come again another day."

........................................................................................

So I call back up about a week after that, and the dude makes an appointment for me, for today, Tuesday, November 10th. Now comes this.

So this morning was nice. I wake up to find.. well, nothing. Really. I'm supposed to have my birth certificate and social security card to reprint my learner's permit, because I lost my wallet. Well, my SS card and certificate are in a tiny envelope, and I usually keep it in one box. However, it was NOT in that box this morning. So I spend a good 80 minutes looking around for it, and finally find it randomly on top of this huge bookshelf that I can't even see over the top (it's over 6 feet tall), because APPARENTLY I put my proof of even existing on top of bookshelves that are taller than I am. My grandma has been waiting outside for me for 10-15 minutes by now. We get down to the DMV, and I walk in. The dude has a note on his door saying "Sorry for all who made appointments today, I'm going to be completely busy this afternoon, there was a mixup! Please reschedule for Thursday!"

OK NOW WHAT THE FUCK. He has like 7 PEOPLE A DAY who have appointments. HE CAN'T CALL THEM BECAUSE HE MESSED UP? HE MAKES THEM WASTE GAS AND TIME AND ENERGY, ALL BECAUSE HE FAILED?!?

Well that would be ALL FINE AND FRIGGIN GOOD, but I thought my learners permit expired TOMORROW (Wednesday), which is the ENTIRE REASON I MADE THE APPOINTMENT FOR TUESDAY!!!!!!!!

So I finish reading that note, and there's this dude standing next to me. I let out a blood curdling roar that fills the entire plaza, which echoes, and I storm out of the place. By now, I'm so pissed I want to break through that DMV door or something. Me and my grandma go back up to her house, and I call the Helena (capitol of Montana) DMV. They give me a number to the "regional manager" of the Livingston DMV, so I call her up.

I start by telling her everything you just read above, without the anger and cussing and such. She basically tells me that there's nothing she can do about it, and proceeded to defend her precious DMV workers. She looks up all my information, and tells me that my license expires on the SIXTH of November, although I've looked at it thousands of times and examined it half that amount, shown my friends and family, everyone KNOWS that it expires on the 11th of November, I distinctly remember it because it said 11/11/2009?!?!?

So basically this just ruins everything. If I have to retake my test and redo hours and hold my license for 6 months, I'm going to take this to court. I NEED to drive myself to Washington, I NEED to drive my grandma to eye surgery. This not a "want", this is absolute NEED.


Oh, and also, my GED test scores were SUPPOSED to come in yesterday, but they still aren't here. I watched the mailman come to the mailbox, and the scores were not in it today.

And of course, all of this was augmented very well by my cold that I've had for 3 days. Today was FUCKING LOVELY.


Thankfully, I calmed down, but if I hadn't I'm afraid I would be still on a rampage.

You have now heard my rant. Thanks for listening.


Edit: Turns out that the guy just didn't wanna deal with me, so I took the written test, drove 10 blocks, and passed my driver test.

Rofl.

Also got my GED Diploma today, HOORAY
