Sometime in the middle of last year my US drivers license expired while I was in Europe and I totally spaced out. Coming back to the US after almost a year last week has felt like a massive zero point reset kinda moment...
I was super stressed that I might be faced with delays and challenges with the DMV in presenting evidence etc for residency and stuff when I have not been receiving mail in any addy I'd call home for at least a year...
BUT... Angels seem to be on my side...
I arrive at the DMV - always make an appointment - and pretty quickly I am speaking to a young charming long curly haired gentleman... He lets me know we have the same birthday (except he's 10 years younger) and instantly we are laughing and magically building rapport...
His name tag:
JESUS 🥰
...I exhale with relief... I'm GOLDEN!
No hick up, no hurdles, no questions asked, no evidence required.
Later I realize my insurance would have been fine with my EU dl, duh.
