After Having a Baby, I’m a Real Mother Now

Tennessee annoys me. The entire state is at least 10 years behind in every single trend and technology improvement. Not a week goes by that I am not irritated by the fact that doctors here won’t work past 5 (noon on Fridays), the goddamn local utilities don’t have a budget billing program, etc.

As it turns out, Tennessee has one ridiculous convenience I’ve never seen in another state: you can update your driver’s license with a new address ONLINE. No need to bother proving who you are at the DMV! All you need is the driver’s license number, the last 4 digits of the associated SSN, and a credit card to charge the measly $8 fee. Ta da, in a couple of weeks, you receive your shiny new license in the mail.

No one wants to hit the DMV less than me, but I have to say, how dumb is this state? Are they blissfully unaware of the security loophole this provides for identity thieves and illegals alike? Fucking hicks.
