Well, I went back to the DMV to try and get my CT Driver's License today. It was pretty quiet, not too many people waiting. Since I had a "pass" from when the computers were down, I figured there wouldn't be any problem, since they already had my paperwork and $40 check.
WRONG!!! I waited an hour. I finally walked up to the counter and asked the guy how much longer it would be. Keep in my, people that arrived AFTER I did came and went. He said he wasn't sure.
I sat down and waited. About 15 minutes later, I walked back up to the counter and got a little "irate". This was AFTER 3 people got their licenses. I asked him what the hold up was, that they already had taken my check AND cashed it and I still didn't have my license. He said that was a "processing fee" and I still needed to pay another $66.00 for a 6 year license. I threw the "pass" on the counter and said it wasn't worth shit. He said, "you are more than welcome to take back your paperwork and leave and come back a 4th day and that it could take as long as 3 hours!!" I told him that I'd be more than happy to keep on driving on my Michigan driver's license and if I got stopped by the police for not having a CT driver's license, I'd blame it on the incompetence of the DMV. He looked at me and said, "Where's the incompetence?" "I'm looking at him!" I said. He got pissed and under his breath, said "Well then, you can wait a little while longer then."
After waiting an hour and 30 minutes, I FINALLY got my license. And to think I've gotta go back yet AGAIN in February to register my car!! UGH!!! :mad:
