MrGrumpy returns to see MrDMV

After failing to book a driving test yesterday, MrGrumpy decided to go to see MrDMV before heading to work this morning. At 7:15am when he arrived, he was still 4th in line. MrDMV does not start until 8:00am, but somebody does come out about 7:45 to handout a card with a letter on it. This card is exchanged for a ticket once you get inside the office. It was at this point he found out that they don't do same day, behind the wheel tests. So he waited and booked an appointment, for next Monday at 8:00am.
Having the first appointment on a Monday will either be a good or bad idea. He is hoping that MrDMVTester has a good weekend and not a bad one.
Getting back to the office was not very quick, the traffic in US101 was crawling, he was still in the office by 8:45am, time for a coffee and catchup on what emails have arrived in the last 20mins.

The morning passed quickly and it was soon lunchtime. Today was the monthly company free lunch, which was handy as that has saved MrGrumpy from eating later. It was BBQ day, not that they seem to have fired up the BBQ's there was chicken, shrimps, beef and some veggie stuff, followed by fruit and a strawberry desert.

Before long it was time for MrGrumpy to head off to see MrIMax again, this time he was going to see DarkShadows. The movie passed a couple of hours, he thought it was OK but not a patch on the Avengers. By the time MrGrumpy goes to MrIMax again Prometheus will be out, that will be his next movie Friday.

Before heading home for the evening MrGrumpy took a little look around the shops around the area, most were places to eat or juice bars, then he found a PC store, so took a look round, there was nothing he needed or wanted so it was just to have a look. He did see some of his relations had been relegated to the bargin software bin.

MrGrumpy took one last photo as he walked back to the car, just to remind people in the UK that is is not dull or raining everywhere in the world. He was told this morning while waiting in line at MrDMV that it is unusual to get any rain at all in the this area from mid April to late October at least. MrGrumpy can get used to not having to wear a jacket or wonder how bad the weather will be like at the weekend.
