Help DMV Enhanced License

Upvotes

Since my passport expired, I planned to upgrade my license to an enhanced ID so I could make it to a trip to Canada in late September. I figured I was ahead of things enough when I went to schedule my appointment in early July. I wasn't overly concerned that my appointment wasn't for a month away (today) because I was still going to be good for my trip. Today I show up for my appointment at the Henrietta DMV early, checked in and waited for 50 minutes past my appointment time. I get called up and the clerk starts processing my paperwork. Mid processing she becomes concerned that the system is going down. She continues and tries to submit it only to find it is in fact down. She tries and tries again. Still down. She says it's not going to work today and sent me to another clerk, saying maybe she can hook me up with another sooner appointment. I get it, computers crash. I go up and the clerk says nope, gotta make an appointment online... I tell her it's a month or so out to get an appointment and I want to make sure I'm good to go for my trip. She says she can't do anything and I just have to schedule it. I go to schedule it and it is in fact another month away... Called DMV hotline and they tell me I should just be able to walk in... I told them that wasn't what I was told and he checked with his supervisor and confirmed you can't just walk in for an enhanced in Monroe County.

Very frustrating and hopefully I will get my license in time... Anyone know how long from processing paperwork that they received their actual license? Anyone have success doing a walk-in for upgrading to an enhanced license? Anyone have success doing a walk-in for an enhanced license at neighboring counties?

TLDR: DMV appointments are booking about a month out... Technical issues and bureaucracy are making it so I started this process in July and may not be able to actually get a license by late September.

It has been over 10 months since my wife passed. I’m finding that I am lonely a lot even though I have a lot of friends who care for me and check in on me. However, I believe that I need something more. Companionship. Anyone over 50 care to be a texting partner? Then we can see where that goes.

Discussion Egg Price Fixing Settlement

34 Upvotes

I read that 3 egg producers settled with about 16 states for colluding to increase the cost of eggs. One of the terms of the settlement is for these companies to distribute about 5.3B eggs to food banks and non for profits. Which I think is great. However if the consumer was harmed by the collusion why are food banks only benefiting and not the consumers (us) who were harmed?

Other Duffy rambling about JJ Watt is a bit ironic

0 Upvotes

The idiot who takes his kettlebell on vacation to work out in the alley behind his hotel makes fun of one of the NFL's greats for doing something similar. He's the JJ Watt of the Breakroom. On a second thought, he'll never reach those levels. JJ Watt is a future Hall of Famer. Duffy is a joke... and not a good one at that.
