When systems actually do work

[dmaze]

Went in to the Galleria after work yesterday to get my driver's license renewed. The woman at the RMV satellite office took my form, scribbled on it, asked me if I wanted a new picture, took my credit card, and handed me a temporary license and a receipt. The end. The whole thing took under five minutes and was remarkably efficient.

(I didn't have to actually sign the credit card receipt, which surprised me a little. But she was looking at a computer screen that presumably had my name, photo, address, and signature that would be used to generate a new official ID, and she did check that the name on the card matched the name on the renewal. So it's not *that* sketchy.)

I should do that too. I was gonna do it online, but you can't do the organ-donor thing online. Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out what it requires in person, either, so I might just give up and renew online. :-/

(And yes, I really should pick up a phone and ask. At some point I'll remember to do so during business hours, and find a place where I can do it without making my cube-neighbors have to listen to it.)
