Vindicated...I am now LEGAL.

I went into work and everything went as planned until I took my break. I left the building (without my name tag...oh, so embarrassing to wear) and then came back in with some of my co-workers...Of course, the "unmotivated" guard chooses this time to stop me and tell me I need my photo ID by Tuesday (Oct. 30). My coworkers kept telling him they could vouch for me but he kept telling me something...I wasn't really paying attention since he speaks like Boomhauer from the TV show "King of the Hill." I just kept getting more and more annoyed so I just walked off in a huff (I know, real mature and professional). Well, I decided I had had enough and I took my coworkers' advice and asked if it would be alright to leave work to get my ID. My supervisor said that would fine and I rode the BART to Pleasant Hill station, walked the three quarters of a mile home to get my birth certificate and other ID for the DMV. Then walked back to the station, took the BART one station over to Walnut Creek and started walking...in the wrong direction. This went on for almost a mile and then I realized that I didn't recognize any of the street names I had written on my directions. So I trekked on back to the BART station, more determined than ever to get that ID, and looked for a bus that went to the DMV, but then decided to take a $6 taxi ride (I think I was 'taken for a ride' on this one) to there because I was getting all sweaty and I wanted to cool off so I would look nice for my picture. I needn't have worried because my picture ended up looking AWESOME. It's really bizarre because I think my ID photos tend to look the best...maybe because the pic is smaller and I can't pick it apart like I would when it's a bigger pic. Well, I have to show it off :D I also only got 3 wrong on the test that I barely studied for...I don't know why I'm so proud -probably because these were common-sense questions and I don't think I'm especially gifted in that area.


It's kinda blurry but that's what happens when you don't use a scanner and use your camera phone...but I love it! I didn't ask the lady behind the counter if I could get copies of it, like I did last time when I got my license in Utah. She was amused in a way that a person is amused when they are humoring a person with a ridiculous request.

I don't think my picture looks anything like the one I took on the BART (top of page) on the way there...weird.
