Funny you should mention that.

I went to DMV back in October to find out when to get the process start. I wanted to have all my ducks in a row in order to get one of the smog exemptions that become available at the first of each year. The guy helping me, while aware of the process, had no idea how the actual procedure goes. He spent a lot of time referring to a manual and conferring with a supervisor.

The good news: exemption are available year round now.
The bad news: need a title bound.

I went back a week later, to clarify some info about the bond. After explaining what I needed the lady said, "Oh, you're THAT guy." Apparently, I was the topic of their Monday morning staff meeting. The entire office is now trained on the procedures.

Yup, I'm a celebrity!!!

Of course, all those employees will have retired or gone to other offices by the time I go back, so I'm sure I'll be back to square one.
