I GOT MY LICENSE BACK!
My interview with the Drivers Safety Division went great! My field agent finished by telling me that I'd have to take a behind the wheel test but that if I passed I'd walk out with my license! Yay! She then looked in the system to set me up with an appointment; however, there were no open slots until June 2nd! :( She told me that she would see what she could do and that she would call me back. Later that evening I got a call from her saying that they could squeeze me in first thing Thursday morning! Of course, I took the slot!
Bright and early we arrived at the DMV. When I finally got to the front of the line, I learned that they didn't know anything about me coming! UGH! But they were willing to call the Driver Safety Unit. Sure enough, they forgot to fax over the necessary documents. Come 9:00, they were finally ready to give me my test! AND! I PASSED!
ANOTHER road block! In all the brilliance that is the DMV, the safety unit forgot to mention that I could walk out with my license... SO instead of signing the document that stated I COULD drive again, I had to sign the document that stated that I was aware my license was still suspended. BUMMER AGAIN! This time I called Driver Safety to learn that, of course, my field agent was out of the office!
Monday, I called her. She checked her system and was just as confused as I was! She said that the system showed that my license was ok to obtain and that I just had to renew it! So back to the DMV we went that afternoon. This time, I was told that I needed to take the written test! They weren't sure why I wasn't given the written test BEFORE the behind the wheel. I bit my tongue. The DMV isn't known for being on top of things. :) I passed the written test. Upon passing it, the man that corrected my test said that he needed my current license so that he could waive the need for a behind the wheel test. WHAT?! I informed him that I had already taken the test. He just looked at me blankly and said, well you don't have to take it again. Good! LOL - there was no way I was gonna take it twice in 5 days!
::sigh:: Whatever, I GOT MY LICENSE BACK!! WHOOHOO!!!!
In all the wonder that is the DMV... Tim missed the Soldier of the Month Board, but his superiors deemed me getting my license back more of a priority... so next month! :)
