To the DMV I go

Today I’m going to the DMV to get my name changed so that my driver’s license matches my social security card, bank accounts, etc.  The problem is, I’ll be flying in just a few weeks and still using Seal as my last name on the ticket, so I need to hold on to my current driver’s license.  Gut instinct said to just leave the darn thing home but because I lean on the side of super-rule-following Goody Two Shoes, I called the DMV to be sure.  After a 20 minute wait (at least there was no annoying music playing) I talked to some nice operator who said, “No, it’s no problem.  They let you keep it.”

“Thanks,” I said cheerfully.

“Uh,” he said.

“Yes?”

“On second thought, just leave it in the car and tell them you lost it.”

This made me laugh.  Let’s hope when I actually get there the DMV people don’t demand my old license or leave me empty handed.  That would make explaining things to the airlines a lot more difficult…
