Checking in!!!
I have really been looking forward to this, and now have something to compare it to!
To add to the DL conversation, though (and I keep reading "DL" as "
Disneyland", which makes this confusing), I will share my DL story. I had to get a new DL when I changed my name back to my maiden name after getting divorced. So that involved going to the DL place (not the one where you have to take the driving test, but just the renewal office). So I go through the line, and talk to Person A, then am sent to the line for Person B, and all that jazz until I finally end up in the photo area (AKA the "You Are Finally Almost Done Here" area). I'm waiting for them to call me for my photo, fixing my hair, and making sure I look OK, and they finally call me. I go up there and Person ZZZ hands me my new DL. "What? But surely you must be mistaken, Person ZZZ, because I haven't taken my photo yet." "Oh no," I am told, "we just used an old one." I thought about that for a few seconds, mentally reviewing all of my previous DL photos on some sort of virtual rolodex type album in my head, wondering which one they used, afraid to look, and still processing that they let some random person at the DMV decide what photo is going to be staring back at everyone I buy alcohol from. So finally I look, and it is one of the first photos I ever took there, when I was about 20. I was in my mid to late thirties when they decided to use THAT photo on my license again. Luckily it was a sort of flattering photo, although there was some weirdness where there was a rainbowish prismish thing happening on one side of my hair. But I still don't get when they chose THAT photo.
