Finally

I finally got my Oregon driver's license. The Oregon local government people are so nice. The niceness of the staff at the DMV was noticeably different from the Colorado DMV. In fact, the friendliness of service people in Oregon in general is much better than Colorado. I noticed this when I first started working down in Texas, too. Either Texas and Oregon are way more friendly than Colorado, or the people in Colorado (generally) are simply not as nice. And yes, I know that it's all on an individual level, but when that is one of the first things you notice when you leave or go into a state, then I think it's fair to make that observation.

The really stupid thing I did was curl my hair today. I wasn't planning on it, but my hair has been looking really bad lately, so I figured I'd try to spruce it up. Anyway, this means that my picture now makes me look like a rather out-of-date woman with Sunday-church hair. Oh well. My last DL picture looked like I was mega-pissed off because I was trying the not-smiling approach for pictures at that point. I survived that one. And it's no worse than my passport photo, which was taken when I was having a very high hair day and is just plain embarrassing.
