The good, bad, and the ugly when it comes to “customer service” which is almost certainly going to kill me before cancer ever has a chance!
So here we are after discovering that the NC DMV appointment system isn’t fit for purpose and our reconnaissance of the New Bern Avenue licence office leaves a bit to desired…today we’re going to make our first attempt to score Katie’s permit and Alexander’s state-issued ID. We immediately headed to the New Bern Avenue location as it’s the closest to Enloe High School right after dismissal thinking that based on the amount of people waiting…
Having abandoned any hope of getting an appointment in a timely fashion before Katie's eligibility certificate expires, we now need to figure out where we're going to turn up and wait our turn in the queue to hopefully get the REAL ID applications sorted. With that in mind, we stopped by the DMV licence office on New Bern Avenue on Monday afternoon after Katie's lacrosse training to see just how bad the crowds were and…
We're going to start our journey down the DMV's variation on the River Styx with what is arguably the ugliest part of the experience: trying to actually secure an appointment through the online system that is supposed to make visiting the DMV driver licence office easier with less waiting. Because the first REAL ID application must be made in person due to having to present additional identifying documents which are physically scanned into the ID…

I'd known that the Google Fibre upload speed was going to be much faster than I'd ever experienced with Spectrum's cable internet service. But seeing 5.67 GB of edited photo files take a little less than 5 minutes to finish uploading to the…
(It helps to imagine the title screamed in Steve Dangle's voice when he's yelling "if you're a goaltender, TEND THE GOAL!" :) ) Yesterday evening, Katie met with one of her friends from middle school who now attends Sanderson High School who were the latest to demolish Enloe's footy team in the Sanderson stadium. It's all good...you generally don't go to footy games when Enloe is one of the sides that's playing for the quality…
