Great news!
Buddy got a job!
This was a goal for him back
in our old house,
but no one wants to hire a kid
that will be moving
in a few months,
so that fell flat.
Now, onto the bad.
I just spent the last two days
at the DMV
trying to get him a
new state ID.
His old one expired,
and we made the mistake of not getting
a new one, as we were just
weeks from moving!
So.
Now we had to rush to get the new one
so he could start his job!
Unfortunately,
the standard DMV line is TWO HOURS OR MORE!
Which meant us sitting
for a very long time,
only to find out they wouldn't
issue him one without
proof of address.
And the proof of address must be in his name,
not mine,
because he's too old to use mine!
Unfortunately,
he doesn't have any mail
showing our new address,
so no proof of address!
And how does one get
mail with one's address
in less than 48 hours?!
Finally,
we worked it out,
by asking the bank to mail
him some junk mail.
Yes, they were a little
puzzled by that request!
Yes, the DMV would accept junk mail!
And just in the nick of time,
because he starts tomorrow!
