Passport = Cluster Fuc%
Seriously.
I decided to go on a trip to Mexico with alicia in February (here's a link of where we're going..it looks pretty frakkin' sweet http://www.dreamsresorts.com/puerto_vallarta/index.html ).
However, new law states you have to have a passport now to go to canada or mexico, which i didn't have. So, i quickly became an expert on the process..
I had to go to the ups store and get my pic taken..this part was actually really smooth. Took my pic..made two copies for me..10 bucks..i was out the door.
Then, on to the clerk's office, which USED to be i thought in the courthouse. So, i went in and emptied my pockets into the metal detector tubs only to be told that since my cell phone takes pictures i have to check it in a locker for 50 cents out in the main lobby...so, i go and do that..come back..and after running thru the detectors..again...i say "so where can i get a passport?" Chuckling, the guard says.."oh, i wish you'd have asked me that before you checked your phone..it's in the other building." Jackass.
So, i go back and get my phone and walk down to the other building, which coincidentally enuff was DIRECTLY across from the ups store. i go in there with my birth certificate...ss card..drivers license..the whole ball of wax..or so i thought. Nope..i needed a personal check. Can't do credit card, bank cards..cash..gotta be a personal check..
Well, now i'm salty. Then, i realized, by the luckiest of twists, i had my checkbook with me!! I was paying a bill at work today and was too lazy to rip a check off at home and just brought the whole thing with me this morning!!........Of course it was all the way back in my car..which was back in the parking structure...one block BACK from where i just was when i was at the wrong courthouse. I uttered about 9 graphic profanities from the time the door to the clerk's office shut till the time i took the 5 steps to exit the lobby and get back to the street.
So, got to my car, go the check..walked all the way back...i had to pay the $140 expedited fee so i could get it back in 2 weeks...well, i "should" get it all back per the clerks' office...they of course were very emphatic about not guaranteeing anything. Man, they suck. They overnighted it with my birth certificate to the department of state. if i don't get it back, after paying the extra money within two weeks, i'll be freakin' hot.
Anywho, it's over. I got it. I got the trip all planned and paid for and i can't wait baby!!
