Never get a DUI.
I finished my requirements to receive a driver's license about two months ago. I even got a temporary license from the DMV and they said the card would be on its way.
Well, in the meantime, I lost my ID card in Vegas, and haven't been able to go to bars, clubs, or even have a drink with dinner.
So, two months go by and I figure the card shoulda been here by now. I call DMV today and the woman says, "Well, you didn't fulfill the requirments to get a license. You're still restricted."
WHAT! What the hell did I pay 125 bucks for? Why did I stand in line for two hours to take a test like I was 16? Why did I finish a class that cost me 500 bucks and took 3 months? Why the HELL did the DMV ALREADY give me temporary license?
"Well, I'll have to call you back."
I thought for sure I'd never hear from her again. But lo and behold I get a call.
"Mr Olivieri, we're going to go ahead and send you a new license. It'll be there in two weeks. Thank you. Good Bye!"
"Uh," I said into dead receiver. "Why didn't you send it 8 weeks ago like you said you would?" Nothing but dial tone.
Super.
It's been a year and nine months since I've had a license. Originally I only lost it for one year. I've been battling DMV for nine months.
