Headed over to the DMV to renew my CDL. Got here early, 3:30 am...

AND THERE ARE 15 PEOPLE IN FRONT OF ME 😳
Everyone in lawn chairs waiting for a chance to get in. One mom has her 8 year old son her with her...

Which makes sense, can’t leave him at home, what’s she supposed to do?!?
The good news is I changed my address on my license, but the bad news is someone called DHS on me for leaving my son at home alone. ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
Is that a homeless camp?

Oh no, just tax payers trying to access government services
Thinking about going full hobo and start making a stew over a trash fire
I brought an extra chair and have offered it to three people sitting on the concrete, so far no takers...

Not sure why my offer of a chair wouldn’t be accepted

My parents did teach me to never accept gifts from strangers in line at 4am at the DMV

WILL KEEP YOU POSTED
Already thinking about how I’m going to handle any bathroom needs, brought coffee but afraid to drink it.

Just typing this makes me want to go pee
I’m wearing multiple layers so will probably just piss myself, it will really add the overall hobo aesthetic
JUST 3 MORE HOURS UNTIL THEY OPEN!!!
Regretting even going to bed last night, I should have just headed over at 11pm and slept on the ground or at least my car, the guys in front of me say it still might take me most of the day even though I’m number 15
The real question is what would I pay to avoid this...
$500?
$1000?
$2000 feels about right
The first person in line got here at 9 pm last night, he’s been here for 8.5 hours, he literally has been sitting in front of the DMV all night.

I’M FROM THE GOVERNMENT AND I’M HERE TO HELP
Update:

I’m still in front of the DMV at 4:30 am
Chair offer still being rejected

Trying not to take it personally

Feels like high school all over again

Perhaps it’s the urine stained pants that’s scaring people off
Gonna watch Netflix

One Flew Over the Cukoo’s Nest feels like the right choice

A frontal lobotomy would feel like a warm hug at this point
Changed my mind, gonna watch Glory instead, hopefully a movie about the deaths of 100,000’s Americans fighting to defeat 200 years of generational, racial enslavement, rape and torture will cheer me up.

Might go with Schindlers List instead though, tough call
On the bright side, my stew is almost done
I probably had 5 different football coaches play Glory in high school, that was there go to, that and a sh*t ton of worksheets
Young Denzel is as good as you remember

Morgan Freeman has been the same age for 40 years

Snowflake
The crowd is growing

Rumors swirling that yesterday they only let 8 people in at first, everyone else got a number and would receive a call later
I think receiving a number from a government agency is akin to getting the middle finger and their way of saying not today buddy!
The other downside of waiting for a call is that I now have to answer every spam call I receive for polls, car warranties, medical insurance and people offering to buy my house

It’s almost 6 AM

PRAISE BE!!
I brought a mask but honestly at this point I’d welcome the loving embrace of COVID
My son turns 16 in 5 years, going to go ahead and have him get in line with me tomorrow
Between the DMV and the VA, the future is looking bright for government efficiency. Whatever my tax bill is this year I think I’ll just send them double, need to invest as much as I can into this enterprise.
Why is it colder at 6am than at 3:30?
I assume it’s my body asking WTF are you doing?

Or my spirit slowly dying.

Or it could be the fact that it’s October

IT’S FALL Y’ALL
Still no takers on the chair

I gave in and drank all my coffee, but on the bright side I now have an empty YETI to pee into

#blessed
