No, Not Post-Stress-Disorder

It's the department here on base where you go to get your new ID and get everything paperwork with pay/insurance/etc taken care of. I needed my ID updated to enroll the kids in the free/fun activies so.. it was becoming a necessity to darken those doors.

It's also the place where graduates of the Motor Vehicle Department School of Customer Service go when the graduate.

We spent 1 1/2 hrs there today. there were 3 people in front of us. I swear the guy there just sat in a trance staring at his computer screen for 20 minutes before moving to help anyone on the sign in sheet and then he tranced out again after helping the 2 people before us.

I'm thinking work slowdown? Or Quotas?

And.. I have pictures of the occasion!

WHY do I have pictures? because I wasn't planning on spending 1 1/2 hrs waiting to get through a line 3 people deep and came prepared with only the contents of my purse which contained:
1 matchbox car
1 1/2 granola bars
3 sticks of gum
1 package of fruit snacks
random receipts
no pencils or pens for the kids to write on themselves or the random receipts
1 set of keys just out of panic button range (tell me you've never let you kids hold the keys in your house and they push the bright red one and wake up the entire neighborhood)
a cell phone
and a camera

SO... when gum was chewed, granola bars turned into confetti on the chairs and floor and fruit snacks inhaled we turned to the camera for entertainment.

By a miracle that is worthy of old testament days, the batteries lasted the entire time and I took probably 100 pictures of the kids making faces and then them wanting to see them.

And I'd share them, but, frankly I'm too tired to get up off my butt to find the camera which never made it back into my purse, but rather into my pocket but that was 2 pairs of pants ago since it was bath night.. so.. I'd have to turn on the light, wake my dear sleeping husband and possibly the sleeping toddler, so.. you'll have to wait. And I'm really probably the only person who'd find them funny, anyway.
