I have entered the bowels of Hell and emerged triumphant

That is to say, I survived the Department of Motor Vehicles with my sanity intact.

Same thing, really.

I went today to renew my driver’s license, because I needed a new pic taken (no test necessary). 15 minutes from start to finish. Yay for efficient and friendly public servants!

Illinois has gotten MUCH better. A trip to the DMV, while no picnic, is not the soul-crushing hell it used to be.

I just got a new DL, and when I showed it to a friend last night, he said “You really look grim.”

“I’d been sitting around for an hour and 15 minutes waiting for my turn,” I replied.

Same with me! Ontario really has managed to improve things quite a bit in recent years. I remember going to the Ministry of Transportation office in their Downsview office complex around 1995 to get a vehicle abstract… that was nasty.
