OK, so going in after lunch on the Friday before Christmas might not be a great idea after all. But I was going to have to make time to get a REAL ID anyway... and I just got some hours handed back to me... and this was less worse than taking a personal day from work... so I sat.
Not moving exceptionally fast but not the slower-est DMV-day either. Got in and they were calling C-420 and I was hanging onto D-566 which is bad if they called exactly sequentially but at DMV it's more like alphabetically by height. Anyway, there went 2 hours of my life but I got some meeting prep done.
BTW: Hilarity ensued when the page-o-matic didn't give a desk assignment for D-565 :-)) followed by tragedy of epic proportions when it did me like that two minutes later :-(
