Nine hours and three trips, and it's finally a done deal!

I dreaded this, and it was even more of a fiasco than I ever imagined it could be. I had some title work to do with my car, and it had to be done at the DMV. Our DMV here is always very busy, and the other one not far away is always completely swamped. But it had to be done, so Monday, I headed that way. I was nearly there when my car sort of lurched and made a funny noise. Pulled over into the nearest business parking lot, not far. A very, very flat tire--and it had a big, giant nail imbedded that I could actually see. Had to line up some assistance, etc. and get the spare on (tiny little thing) and by that time, it was 4:10PM. I went to the DMV, took a number as usual, and waited. There were at least 20 people waiting, so I didn't have high hopes of getting helped by 5PM when they closed. At 4:30PM, they announced there would be no more title work done that day. Went home... Tuesday and Wednesday were very full days and yesterday, I made the second trip. It was completely swamped with at least 50 people waiting, chairs full, sitting on the floor. I gave up and went home again. Today, I got it together and thought to myself ''the third time is the charm!'' and off I drove, with the hope that it was true! I got the last empty chair. There were 27 people ahead of me. I ''only'' had to wait for 2 hours and 14 minutes, and it was MY TURN!! The paperwork lady was very nice, but it was somewhat time consuming, however--mission accomplished at last!! I hope to not go back anytime soon. On the way home, I remembered that in January, I have to renew my own Driver's License--that's every 4 years. But I hope I don't have to go back there until then!
