I was going to hit some stores after work, but now I'm going for drinks with (ex)Minion. Oh well.

In NJ, the photos are digital, and you can see it right after they take it, then decide whether to keep or reject that one. I'm not sure if there's a limit to how many you can take -- I went with the third one on my last licence.

(My first licence, and maybe my second one too (in 1997 and 2001) were the old non-digital kind. They'd take the picture with a polaroid-type camera, type out the text part of the licence on a typewriter, paste the picture to the licence, then laminate the whole thing. Everyone at college who had a fake ID had a fake NJ licence -- you could make them with photoshop, a decent printer, glue, a laminating machine, and some gold spray paint to fake the watermark.)

The added crazy to my expired driver's license/bar story - I wasn't even drinking booze. I was about 7 months pregnant and was sipping a glass of water, watching my DH in a darts tournament. When I asked for a refill on my water, they carded me and kicked me out. WTF.

I used to have a kickass license photo. I would renew in the mail, it was awesome. But for some reason, I had to get a new photo for the old one. Couldn't renew in the mail. Not sure if it was some bullshit post 9/11 thing.

My sister and I went out to a bar just after midnight on her 21st birthday. At one bar the bouncer said she was underage and that he was going to confiscate her drivers license. I had to explain that since it was after midnight it had now become the "next day" so she was therefore legal.

I'm pretty sure I've traveled with a paper temp license, because I have a vague memory of being amazed that it worked, but I don't know when that was, could've been last century.

Grrr. Have just been sent into a towering rage, only partly an overreaction, right as I have to dial in to an important conference call.

There are a lot of towering rages at my work these days. Deadlines and holidays looming? I try to stay out of it, mostly, but I do like to be cc-ed on some of the blood sports.

Working from home would be better for me for so many reasons right now. But I went in to both locations this morning, and will be back at my desk this afternoon.

Uh, sometime. But I am logged into my work computer! Migraine-related depression is paying off for my employer.

No towering rages here, just giant slinky dogs.

What happens if you push a giant slinky dog down the stairs?
