Our local Department of Motor Vehicle Customer Service Center, otherwise known as the closest place to hell that you can find on this earth, will temporarily close for an interior renovation starting Oct. 31. They have some remodeling to do and think they can get back in the customer trashing and abasing business by December 6.
DMV suggests that those who may need their services go on-line and give that a try. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn’t. That makes it more exciting. Never mind that some in our area don’t use or have access to the Internet, such as many senior citizens: maybe than can just walk for a month or so or call a cab until the interior decorators at DMV have done their job.
I understand that some of the remodeling involves installing softer seats in the waiting room to better ride out the marathon waits that come while all DMV employees take much-needed breaks at the same time. They are also installing new cameras to be able to take license pictures to make the drivers look more sub-human than in the past. And there will be new interior colors – they have chosen Blood Red.
DMV says they hope this 6-week hiatus from a basic, state-run monopoly won’t inconvenience anyone. Afterall, those who need service with petty vehicle-related transactions, such as registration renewals, titles, license plates, and decals can visit partner services not available on the Internet and can go to “nearby” Waynesboro.
I think DMV should go to “nearby” hell.
