THE NEW DEVIL

the dmv is the new devil! so, i received a notification that my id card is going to be cancelled because supposedly the dmv's and ssa's records don't match up. well, i just changed my name through social security, so that must be correct. i checked my ssn and that was correct. so, what's the freaken problem? i compared my social security card to my id card and everything matches up perfectly. so i wonder again, what's the problem? well, in the notification the dmv sent me, they left out the hyphen in my middle name. according to my sister, who received the same notification and who actually talked to ssa, the reason the names don't match up is because somewhere along the line, the stupid dmv left out a hyphen in our middle names. so now the paper states i need to make an appointment to go in to have my name changed? i don't think so. i'm not going all the way in to the dmv because they made a mistake and left out the hyphen in my name. it doesn't make sense to me that if it had been my social security number that was incorrect, all i would have to do is write the right one in the space provided and send the paperwork back into them, but if the name is wrong, you have to actually go down to the office. now what kinda crap is that?? plus, the number that they give to call is busy all the time. watch, call this number ((916)657 7790) and i bet you it'll be busy... the dmv just has to be the new devil. myLove would argue that cingular is more of the devil, but that's another long story...
