While driving around for work today I realized that my car tabs were expired. Somehow I completely spaced it, even though King County was kind enough to mail me a notice (I blame them for giving me the notice far too much in advance, don't these people understand procrastination?). This would be something I would normally decide to act on the next day as I had a pretty tight regimented day and would have to miss appointments to get tabs. However, tomorrow I will be driving a vendor around all day and one thing my boss stressed with us when we started was, "When you are with a vendor, don't wear logo'd clothing that they don't represent, make sure your car is clean and certainly have a full tank of gas. Most importantly, DO NOT GET A TICKET with a vendor."
Hm, so I cancelled two appointments and headed over to the D.M.V. When I got to the front of the line I got the woman who looked annoyed with having to answer stupid questions all day long. Feeling rather virtuous about my non-stupidity I handed over my registration.
"Why didn't you get your emission checked?" asked Lady Peroxide.
"I read that board over there, it said that in the year 2006 that cars from 2000 didn't need an emission test."
"Yeah, but your tabs expired in 2005."
Oops.
So after going to get my emissions checked I have a question. Do they hire the dumbest people they can at the emissions place, or is it merely all the exhaust fumes they suck up every day contributing to their utter stupidity?"
