This morning, I stood in the significantly shorter "Registrations - Appointments Only" line, instead of amazingly long regular line for registration issues at the DMV in Redwood City. I stood in line with 8 or so apparently whitecollar people; they were dressed for the office.

There was a noticeable difference in the appearance of the people my line and the people in the other line. I wondered if any of the 50 or so people in the other line were similarly wondering about the 8 of us. Did they wonder what makes us so "special" to be able to get appointments and to stand in the shorter line? Did they choose not to make appointments 'cuz they didn't know they could, or they couldn't get appointments soon enough over the phone... unlike us seemingly "privileged" or "yuppie" people, who had no trouble making soon enough appointments online at work or at home? Do the people in the other line even notice us? Or mind that we're getting better/faster service? Do they not care to spend 2 hours of their lives in the line 'cuz they don't have anything as "important" to do as us whitecollar working stiffs?

I bet they didn't care of even notice us... And I know there is a lot that I take for granted.

Thirty five minutes later, I left the building, and GOD DAMN.... got hit on in the parking lot by a guy who said he'd decided to not wait in the longass regular line and was gonna wait in his car until the parking lot cleared to go back in. Irony of situation here. You figure it out...
