| Current mood: whatever Subject: my dear passport |

| I went and took care of my passport today. let me just say: there was a lot of unnecessary waiting for no reason going on. so I got up at 9, which was rather surprising considering I went to bed at nearly 3. anyways, I got up, took a shower, washed my hair. by 10 I was on my way to cvs to see about getting a photo for the passport. I get there and they tell me they can take the photo there. he's getting the camera ready and then the battery dies. they get new batteries, take the picture. then the printing of the receipt. there wasn't any paper to print the receipt. but that didn't take long at all. I go back home for a brief minute to get all the papers. I'm on my way downtown to the post office. I finally find a parking spot and quarters. I only had four quarters. four quarters gives you two hours of parking. I was hoping it would last. I go into the post office. I'm standing in line for like 20mins maybe. it was a slow moving line, but not too terribly slow. then I get to the front of the line and I'm told I need to get into another line: the passport office line. I get in that line. I'm the second person in line. we're standing there for like 10-15mins with no movement. out of the three windows open, none of them were calling us to one. finally one of the windows without the sign that states "passport office" above, which is the window we were practically standing in front of, starts calling us over there. the kind gentleman tells me I have an unusable document that cannot be used as my birth certificate. I then have to walk three blocks to get a copy of my birth certificate. walk three blocks back, get back in line which is now longer. then the line seriously didn't move for like the longest time. the whole time I'm about to get irritated. I'm not one to complain, but 95% of the time was unnecessary. I made it back to the car with 11 minutes to spare on the parking meter. everything is taken care of now. which is a relief. |
