I'm really PO'd!

Monday being Hector's Birthday also meant that this year his drivers license expired. He got off work a little earlier today and decided to run over to have it renewed before it was too late!

When we got there, there was a short line with a couple of other people doin the same thing he was, and I watched as 2 other people had thier brand new plastic card handed over to them! Finally it was our turn, they asked for all his info. as usual, he payed the $20 fee, and they hand him a piece of paper, explaining that he is on a conditional driver restriction (whatever that means exactly...I can't seem to get a straight answer from the DMV nor can I find anything about it online!) and that he will recieve his actual license in the mail in 6-8 weeks after his legal status is comfirmed through INS!

Maybe it's just me, but I think this is total crap! I want one of these people to explain to me why it is exactly that he has to go through all of the BS he goes through and pays all the fees he has to to keep up this status of his, and why in the hell he has to carry his card on him at all times if they are going to do this crap! If that card is not proof enough then WHY does he need it!?

It just makes no sense to me whatsoever why it was enough for the white American in front of us to show his birth certificate and S.S. card and was handed his license the same day....but Hector showed his S.S. card and his PR card which has his DOB, Alien #, fingerprints and picture, and has to wait this long for his, and is also on a restriction!

Tell me someone....am I making this a big deal for no reason, or do I have a legitimate reason to be pissed!? I need someone elses opinion on this...maybe I am taking it too personally...I dunno!
