Fun with bureaucracy

So, as previously noted, I got my New Hampshire permanent disabled plates and placard last week.  Yesterday, I went to the DMV office in nearby Merrimack (as instructed by DMV head office in Concord) to have them remake my license with the little wheelchair icon in the corner that constitutes the verification that I am, in fact, entitled to them.

They couldn't do it.  When they pulled up my license, it transpired that somehow (be it a bug, or operator error) the system had failed to associate the disabled-operator placard issued to me with my license.  They tried several different things, but nothing would make the system cooperate.

So, they've cancelled my placard and re-issued it.  When the new one arrives in the mail, I get to go back to Merrimack.  Hopefully, this time it'll be in the system properly.

So long as they're remaking my license anyway, I'll have them take a new photo for it.  When I went up to Concord to get my NH license, I had three vehicles to register at the same time, plus additional DHS verification stuff because I'm a foreign national, and by the time I actually got to get my license photo taken, I'd been on my feet standing in various lines for more than two hours.  I was exhausted, and it showed in the photo.  Maybe this time around I can get a better photo.

Heh. That's such a gov thing. Can't associate the placard with the licence, so make a new one. :)
