I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
So, in the Ongoing Saga of My Driver License Renewal -- the mystery hold on my application was released, and the online process let me through!
And...
Even though it's NOT a Real ID that I'm applying for... it still is either necessary to give them an unexpired passport or a birth certificate.
I actually do have a request in with NJ for a new copy of my birth certificate. It takes FOUR TO SIX weeks to be processed.
The only way to get it faster is to go to the state Vital Records office. In Trenton.
I'll call them tomorrow and find out whether another person is allowed to go -- if so perhaps my brother will consent to go, which is a like a 3 hour round trip. He's semi-retired, so maybe.
In the meantime I'll spend this evening going through the 30 or so boxes of paper 'stuff' I have here. I probably have it... somewhere. Probably.

Oh, and PS: my birthday is the day after Christmas. When my license expires.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Sounds like quite an adventure, Theo.(not in a fun way)

Aaaargh. Feeling like JZ now because I've been trying to explain to a friend why there's nothing wrong with what he's asking, the WAY he's asking it is kinda racist or at least micro-aggressive and assholish? Sigh. I feel like in person I'd be able to explain but FB comments are not great.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
super frustrating day at work....AGAIN. at least I actually got stuff done.
Came home to dogs having escaped the area I put them and destroyed foam from dog beds and a Christmas wreath of my mother's we had listed for sale online. They got major scoldings and sent to sit and think about their behavior.
I've got my dinner made (because I might be getting hangry).
I think tonight I will pack instead of apply for jobs.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Remember having braces and how your teeth would ache after the braces were tightened? My entire face feels like that. So much for that flu shot I got.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Y'all are not having a good day.

That is ridiculous! They know exactly who you are!

And then there's me, running around with a real ID that wasn't, really. (Took care of that with a trip to the MVA a few weeks ago. Note: I still have same ID. It's all bullshit.)

Thrive to spite them
Ok corporate visits we had 1 semi ish corporate 1 today, 1 tomorrow and 1 Friday. There were TWO last week. They damn well be doing this to roll out upgrades or other improvements to our store because this is WAY Too much stress to put on people when it's this close to Christmas.
I am still not sure when I am going to get my car registration and driver's license situation fixed. I'm waiting for the paperwork from the bank.
