See, I think thats what happened to me... I gave them military id and my
green card, passport... (I come prepared!) and my Aussie DL... and they were
like "we don't need that"... I'm like... OK, don't you want to even look at
it? Apparently not.
I don't mind taking the test, I expected to take a drive test... I'm just
irked that the person who eventually told me so was so goddamned rude, and
not only that, I was expecting it in the mail at any moment. I thought I was
done! So thats why I feel put out.
Thanks :)
