I spent last Saturday (yes, most of the ENTIRE DAY in my office, because my home computer is still unusable) doing what I thought would be a breeze... completing my traffic school online. I had not received a speeding ticket in 15 years or so... and was terribly unhappy (how's that for a nice tame adjective) to have to jump through the traffic school hoops. Thinking I could just waltz through the questions on line, I spent hour after hour taking copious notes, paying especially close attention to the RIDICULOUS little questions which were interspersed throughout each of the 12 chapters regarding "Chili the Dog" - supposedly to verify that it was indeed me taking the test. Let it suffice to say, that as the day dragged on, and I had nowhere else to go but onward to the next chapter, I became more and more furious. Road rage in my chair. Keyboard in danger of being smashed by the frustrated pounding of my fingers as they punched harder with each keystroke...

chili dog..hee hee!
Chili Dog? That's a hot one! You think on-line traffic school is bad, just think of on-line rehab. Icy is trying on-line obedience school.
Argh. "They" say, lately, that this is when we create our own misery. We CHOOSE to let things upset us. Really, we should just let it go and be HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY!
Uh huh.
So I can ask someone to type in the answers for me, and I will have a license?
On-line rehab, LOL!!!
Happy New Year to you and yours Terry
I'm guessing this a a law of some type to renew a license after so many years? My Eldest applied for a new license (computer at registry) and got last three wrong, not wanting to ever have a license at all now! It costs a lot each try too!
I'll remember to stay away from there.
I did online traffic school once to get a speeding ticket off my record, and it was fine. I think there are a bunch to chose from and you must've gotten a stinker. No chili dog in mine. Sorry about that! Just think of bunny rabbits and soft fluffy clouds :)
ha ha ha ha, I'm picturing you at the keyboard like mom doing the dishes. Clank Clank! CLANK!!!!!!! as she got madder and madder.
LOL, I'll just pay the ticket....
Yeah, I had to do that about 5 years ago. What a pain in the ARSE! And it won't let you just "go" to the next chapter. Damn dogs! Hey...if you're going to be in SD on the 28th of Feb...you are MORE than welcomed to come to court with me...lol!!!!
Every one of you did matter
And so I answered all the chatter
Now I'm madder than a hatter
Because Explorer ATE the latter
Every answer was presented
Funny comments humor hinted
Now each bit is but ghost
OH DAMN this electronic host
Even though I carefully saved
On my clipboard every fave
With the last keystroke IT FROZE
Such as my life blithely goes
I will write
Again to all
Just not now
I'm OFF THE WALL
