Well, I did not do my driving test, because they wanted the form from my eye doctor which was the sole reason I came in 21 days ago when I presented it to them. They neglected to tell me I needed to bring it in yet again, when I did the test. They made me reschedule Oct. 18, and I have to bring in the form that I already brought in last time. I will be grinding my teeth a great deal today, I can just feel it. So I still have the temporary license, but all that anxiety from last night and this morning wasted! Only to be whipped up again in two weeks. Ye gods!
I was going to celebrate if I passed the test. I think I'll just celebrate not losing my mind completely. I was very mature with the DMV guy, very gracious. No yelling, just jokey and friendly. But inside, a tyrannasaurus rex was raging. "This is idiotic," I wanted to say. "I could be back with the form in 15 minutes, can't you squeeze me in?" But maybe by then my frame of mind would have made me run over a pedestrian or worse. This is how they rid the state of licensed drivers. Getting the numbers down of legit drivers, so the manics without licenses, who have been driven crazy by the rules, just take us out like bowling pins.
Oh, well, I still stick by the truth that the DMV employees are really, really nice and friendly. But I really, really don't want to see any of them ever again.
