I hope the rest of your week goes better than your Monday did! We all have those days and they are never fun. I recently made a huge mistake too. I moved and didn't realize my license from the previous state had expired. I need my birth certificate to get my new license but I need to pick up a new birth certificate. I can't pick that up without a valid ID. Now I have to hope that my mom can take off of work on day and pick it up so she can mail it to me.
As for the self upvote. I have accidentally done that as well. I don't think that anyone who knows you will think that you are greedy!
It will, I full confidence in that Monday was just a fluke. You have quite a mess of your own between your license and birth certificate situation, I hope you can get that straightened out without any major problems.
I agree, the people who know me, know better and the people who don't doesn't matter to me.
