FUDMV

I've been in Arlington for 8 months now, and still don't have a Virginia Driver's License. It hasn't been a huge deal, since I don't own a car here, (I just walk, take a cab, or ride the metro to wherever I need to go in DC).

Finally, it was my turn to speak with a woman at the counter, who told me the license computers weren't working:
Meaning that I couldn't get this:
I felt like this:

I hate the DMV.
