Driver's license angst/Silly Biometrics

Going to go get my new DL today. I've lived in Oklahoma long enough that my first one has expired. That is hard to believe. Kind of strange. Never really thought we'd be here this long.

I wish they would just let me use one of my icons for the license picture...

ETA: Photo came out OK, but the Tag Agency Guy had to do it 3 times and finally called headquarters to get an override. WHY? Because the camera kept refusing my picture. It seems that my hair color has changed since the last time I had a DL done.....8 years ago. Evidently, the biometric recognition program is not in on the secret that at times women change their haircolor.

(Also, the two people behind me were rejected because their fingerprints weren't clear...because they were seniors and their prints are mostly worn down with age. The Tag Agency Guy wisely predicted the computer's rejection and called all 3 of us in at once for overrides)

Check...

Nice check in the mail today from the WOTF people. This is just the prize earnings ($500). I beleive that a second check will follow for the actual publication payment. I've already stuck it in a mailer and am sending it off to....a savings account. Sorry, I'm boring.

I did, however, make a copy and stick it up on my wall.

PS: I'm now laundering my pillow. We'll see how that turns out.
