An incentive

My birthday is in a couple of days and my drivers license needs to be renewed.  Don't ask why I waited until just a few days before my license expired to take care of this. I was busy.  I had other, more pressing things to do, I suppose.

Anyway, the California Department of Motor Vehicles sent me a lovely notice saying that I could renew online because I haven't had any tickets or been caught having sex in my car since my last renewal. Woohoo!

I went to the website.  I followed the instructions. I followed the links.  They took me to.....nowhere. Nada. Nothing. In short, there was no way I could take care of my business online. Ugh.

Shortly after that, I saw this silly little e-card that described exactly how I was feeling as I was struggling with the site. I laughed and thought, I wonder what would happen if I sent this to them.  I wonder.....

So I did.

I opened a contact form and pasted it in.

I'll bet the site is operational by 8:30 tomorrow (Monday) morning.

Incentives work.

If the carrot doesn't work, you could also threaten them with a spanking.

I renewed mine on-line last year, just before getting a ticket. I guess they didn't want me swallowing anything.
