DMV

Well you wouldn't believe it, but I have yet to officially change my last name to Beenfield.  I guess it was just the awful hassle of having to get a new social, go to the DMV, get a new license, change it on the insurance, change it with the bank, at school...you get the point. People usually grimace at the thought of the DMV right?  Well here I am...dreading walking into the stinky place only to wait in line and get pushed around by the employees who really don't care if you don't have TWO pieces of mail to prove your residency.  Oh, and let me also complain about their hours.  Open Monday-Friday 9-5 Closed Saturdays and Sundays.  Well I work 8-5 Monday-Friday.  You either have to take the day off or use your hour lunch break and risk clocking in on time.  Let's face it, you're not going to get through the DMV in an hour.  So last week I got off an hour early to finally get this thing over with.  Well guess what?  I didn't have everything I needed so I waited in line for nothing.  Bad experience.  Yesterday Aaron and I went together during my hour lunch break.  We were sure to bring absolutely everything you need and MORE.  We were NOT getting turned away this time around.  So I had the paper work already filled out and ready to go so I passed everyone who was filling out their paper work and jumped in line.  In no time at all I was greeted by a a friendly employee.  The two pieces of mail I brought were both pay stubs.  She was happy to find out that I work at doTERRA.  She says, "Oh, you mean...(pulling peppermint beadlets out of her pocket) this doTERRA!"  What a nice lady.  She took my picture and sent me on my way with my waiting number.  We only waited about 5 minutes until our number was called.  We hurried to our line and made sure everything was correct for the license, took the eye exam, and talked to the lady about her job.  Wow, in and out in a matter of 20 minutes?!  Why have I waited so long to do this?  We even had time to go get a pizza and eat it out on the grass in front of doTERRA.  What a lovely lunch break.
