Woman: Oh...mostly because we can. Now do you want to get your car registered or not? Sign on desk reads: For our amusement, just stand there and wait. Sign on hoop reads: WELCOME TO THE D.M.V.
I just ran into this person in S. Yarmouth MA, who wanted me to wait in a 45 minute line just to pick up a form for a handicap sticker for my ailing father. All the other forms were on tables, so I asked if there was one for the handicapped sticker. She said, “well I can give you one but you have to get in line.” I said, “I’m not applying today, I have to take it to my father and the doc has to sign it. I just need the blank form.” “You still have to stand in line,” she said. I took the form and left. I heard today that the government has hired 180,000 additional federal employees this past year. So much for “stimulus” and for “saving or creating” new jobs. This IS our FUTURE!
