further adventures in beuraucracy

Today, bbbsg took me to the Registry to get a driver's permit and a liquor ID.
Boy did we have fun. Kinda.



So basically, it took half an hour when it only needed to take five minutes, but the upshot was this:

- I didn't have my glasses with me.
- My Mass ID is no longer valid, because it doesn't have an expiration date
- You can only get one ID at a time
- Once you order an ID you need to wait until it comes to order another one and
- The govt. has some crazy people working for it

So. I ordered a new Massachusetts ID, because I will need one with an expiration date to fly, apparently, and that is a priority since I'm going visiting in early December.



I will need to go back several more times in order to get the rest of the stuff I need. First, a driver's permit, then a liquor ID, in order of priority. If I get the Mass ID this week, then bbbsg will take me back for the permit. But otherwise, I'm going to need more help.

Helpers get gratitude and they also get fed.
Any volunteers?

I could also use someone to help me frame and put up a bunch of pictures, if anyone is into that.

A liquor ID? for what?

I LOVE framing and mounting photos.... so fun! :)

To buy alcohol.

Since I don't have a driver's license, some places will not take my state id. Apparently a liquor license would solve that problem.

Weird. A state ID card usually takes care of that problem--my friend Dann is 31 and has never had a driver's license either, and I can't recall him having any problems buying liquor using his state ID card (Maryland or MA). Weird that you have that problem. Yuck.

Oh, and I just framed and hung a bunch of pictures in my house. Therefore I am Teh Expert. Well, not really, but we did manage to attach wire to the back of a large picture and then hang it on the wall with hooks. I was impressed with us. I can possibly volunteer my services.
