MrGrumpy goes to get a driving licence

MrGrumpy was feeling under the weather when he woke late (after 7am), it was his own fault and expects no sympathy.

This morning at 8:30am he had an appointment at the DMV (department of motor vehicles) to apply for a driving licence, so he got ready, had a little breakfast and headed to San Jose.

At the DMV office there was quite a large car park, but all the spots were taken, he had to wait for someone to leave to get a spot. Once inside he found out why it was so busy, the computer systems were down and they were unable to process anybody. The place was full to busting with lots of happy people.

MrGrumpy filled in the form and waited for a little while before deciding to come back another day, when hopefully the systems would be working.

Travelling back to the office he hit the commuter congestion, so it took him a little while to get across town to the cube farm, he was still in just after 9:00am.

Mid afternoon MrGrumpy had to go to the bank to get a cheque for next months rent, only a few more days and he has been in the US for a month. He stepped out of the fridge like cube farm to be hit by the heat, it was almost 31 Deg C outside, inside the mustang was even hotter, air conditioning on max soon made the couple of miles a bit more bearable.

Tomorrow MrGrumpy has to get up really early for a 6:15am flight to Oregon, it is only a 2 hour flight so he will arrive in good time for two days with a customer. He is not looking forward to getting up at 4:00am, he will not be drinking any beer tonight, food and some decent sleep is what he needs.
