we got to the DDS at about 9:30. They did not accept my AP letter as proof of residence, although it clearly has my address on it and was sent from DHS. They said that it could have been forwarded and was not proof. That's BS. The agent there was not accomodating at all and I asked for a supervisor and he tells me he is the manager there. Whatever. We were about to leave when we noticed that Karen's license was proof as we are married and she is a residence. We went back in. Jerk agent is messing with a poor german girl and not being very nice to her either. Behind him, an older man is waiting on that window because his number was called up. When the agent is done with the german girl he tells the man he has to go back to the line and get a new number because he did not present himself at the window (which was busy because of the german girl). So he is being a jerk to this man too. Did the written exams and passed. They said to wait outside and would call for me when they are ready. 2 hours later we go back inside to see what is taking so long and they tell us that the examiners are all gone to lunch. Come back at 2:15. So we storm off to lunch, very unhappy. We come back at 2. Finally around 2:20 I get to do the test. The examiner gives orders, I repeat his orders to make sure that I understand, and then the test is over. He hands me a paper and says go in and get your license. Didn't tell me if I did anything wrong or not.

I finally got it, but I've got a major headache now.

Wow, tough room! I know, it took me over 5 hours when I went to get my license but at least I had decent people on the desk and in the car. Congratulations on getting your license - you must feel like you now have wings and freedom once again.

Take two aspirin and have a nap!
