I want to tweak my template more, but I'm having serious issues right now and not enough patience to cope with them.

I had to go get a paper from the government today, demonstrating I have no criminal record. That necessitated a drive down to the southern side of downtown, a hunt for a parking spot, and a looooong wait sitting in chairs at the Office of Records & Identification. Me, I thought all they had to do was enter in my driver's license number and hit print. Apparently this is not the case, because despite my being the *only* person there, and despite the lack of line or any time required to hand over my license and passport and sign my name on the list, it still took around 45 minutes to get that little piece of paper, stamped all over in official purple ink. (Which, btw, is what "sealed" means. It doesn't mean they stamp it once, all nice and neat and official-like, and then seal it in an envelope, it just means they stamp the crap out of the thing before they hand it to you. That poor printout looks like Christmas. But I digress.) Unfortunately, despite my naive belief I had gotten there in plenty of time to get it taken care of (which was bolstered by my being the ONLY person there who needed anything done), I underestimated by 9 minutes. Ah, arrogance, thy name is Katie.
