Average Jane Screws Up

My general absentmindedness has caught up with me in two noticeable ways this week:

  1. I finally realized yesterday that my driver’s license expired on my birthday (July 7th).  It’s hard to believe I let it go so long, particularly since I DESPISE the photo I’ve been stuck with for the last six years.

    I went to the license bureau to get a renewal today and stood in line
    for an hour with way more people than I would have expected to see there on a
    Thursday afternoon.  It turns out I won’t get my new license in the mail for up to a month, so I’ll need to dig up my passport to take to the airport when I fly to BlogHer next week.  Grrr.

    The license bureau gave me a weird receipt that I can carry until my license arrives.  It includes a black and white version of the photo I’ll have on my license and I can already predict that I will grow to loathe that photo as much as I did its predecessor.  It’s obvious that I wasted my time going home this afternoon specifically to wash and re-style my hair for my license photo.  (I hope I’m not the only one who does that sort of thing.)

  2. When I posted about watching VH1 Rock Honors back in June, I was too lazy to look up the correct spelling of Gilby Clark’s name and thus added an extra "e" to his first name before the "y."  Now my blog is getting a metric buttload of Google traffic from "Rockstar: Supernova" viewers who are equally spelling-challenged. 

    Hi, everyone!  What do you think of the show so far?  Don’t you wish Zayra would get voted off already?  I’d love to see a woman win, but not that disrespectful beyotch.  And what’s Tommy Lee’s problem?  Is he acting out because Pammie is getting married to Kid Rock next week?  Hitting on all the female singers is just sleazy, dude.  And lay off the coke.  Don’t think we can’t tell.

Wow, that was fun.  Thanks for encouraging me to bring the snark, Cagey and Mocha Momma.  I should give it free rein more often.  Have a great weekend, everybody!

    One of the good things about Illinois is that you can renew your license through the mail. Registration too. The only bad thing is you are stuck with the same picture for 8 years and a new sticker every 4 for the back of the old license.

    Our license run out every 5 years in TN. We have the option of getting a sticker instead of getting a new photo every other renewal. And ours are made on the spot when we get the photo taken.

    1. Uh-oh….okay. Whew. You just made me check my license. I have six months in which to primp.
    2. Dilana should win. She’s the only with who can sing AND has a personality AND just ignored Tommy’s crap. My two cents…
    3. Love the snark! Bring it on!

    Oh, Jane, I hope you’re reading my Rockstar recaps every week over at my personal blog! I’m so excited to find someone else who’s watching this besides my SO and me 🙂
    I am a Dilana fan. And I have yet to include in my recaps exactly how skeevy Tommy Lee, but seriously dude, you are wearing your dysfunction on your suh-leeve!

    I had to get my current license photo done at the last second because I waited until lunchtime on the day before I left for a trip to Las Vegas to realize I’d need a valid ID to fly, drink, and gamble.
    There wasn’t any time for primping, so I while I was in line I tried to counteract my greasy hair and atrocious shirt by applying way too much lipstick. That was eight years ago. I am so tired of looking at that stupid thing.

    I hadn’t realized I’d missed renewing my licence about this time last year (happy birthday – mine is in a week 🙂 ) when I went to the airport to pick up my cousin’s son who was staying a week. Security is not happy when your government ID is expired. I had to go through the extended shake-down at the security area. It wasn’t so bad. Just ironic that I never get flagged when flying, but got stuck with extra screening when I wasn’t flying! 🙂
