Small win at the DMV today

Had my QME exam paperwork approved at the Santa Ana DMV office. The clerk actually smiled and said 'this is filed correctly for once.'

Ngl, I gotta push back a little here. A clerk being nice doesn't mean the system is working, it just means you got lucky. Most people spend hours waiting, dealing with lost paperwork, or getting told they filled out the wrong form. One smile from a DMV worker doesn't erase all that nonsense. Plus, that "for once" comment says more about how broken things are than how good your experience was.

@margaret_jackson73 has a point about the system being broken, but sometimes you gotta take the small wins. To avoid all the hassle, best trick is to book a Tuesday or Wednesday morning slot and bring every possible document they could ask for. Had my QME approved at the Santa Ana office last year after showing up with a folder full of copies and originals. Helps if you call ahead and ask exactly what they need, saves a lot of back and forth.
