If some official process takes someone 20 mins it will take me 2 hours and there will be like three different problems and I will be crossing my fingers at the mercy of the govt employee helping me hoping they accept my eternally cursed documents.

#it is always something 😭#something always breaks too a printer a scanner we have to wait and move to a different station because of that #there is some error like today with the scanner. “its never done that before huh” sry i radiate a toxic aura that frightens office #equipment in state and federal facilities this happens every time 🥲#i have bad luck. and the state i was born in used fucking faded ass stamps for everything so nobody can read the numbers that are #apparently important even when i have a certified copy because my original was the fucking same and my mom got tired of dealing with it #only to get a new one with the same issue like my live birth number is cut off and faded and it is a fucking stamped number while the rest #was like done on a typewriter or some shit idfk #from the looks of it. i have been putting off getting a new passport since mine expired a long long time ago because i remember being stuck #in this office with her gradually losing her shit more and more when i got mine as a teenager i dont remember all the issues but it was an #entire ordeal and then she was mad at me ofc for existing idk #i am cursed. semi related but maybe not who knows flying is terrible for me i am glad i havent had to do it in a long time #we used to fly at least twice a year growing up and through high school both here and to mexico every year #but i always get picked for enhanced searches. every single time. and then bonus sometimes there was some issue idk what even but we would #have to wait for a supervisor to come sort out some computer problem they wouldnt tell us what. maybe it was related to the enhanced #screening but they always told us that part first #always took forever too and then my whole family as per usual would be mad at me but like at 14 it wasnt my fault lmao #i swear the fact i am patient and super nice is the only reason they try to figure it out or accept my stuff sometimes because the lady who #helped me today said she just used the number that they put in the last time i lived here but she was pretty sure they made it up #i was like...great hahaha what. “itll be okay probably as long as they match i will just use it” watch this comes back to bite me if i ever #manage to get a corrected copy or something or someone decides it says something different #itll be the same thing i bet. i will be stuck for hours. polite. apologetic. listening to a federal employee and their boss shit talk #whoever took care of my crap before and just make the executive decision to process it i still wonder if that is what happened with my mom #back then. fun times. this is so personal sorry lmao #yes my background checks also take a long time to come back for jobs too. i have never been denied but i have had my dates pushed back #because it took “way longer than usual”#i always assumed that was from living in a different state every 3 to 5 years of my entire life and the name changes #but eh. maybe just also my luck.#-pers #i am making my partner get our new plates because god only knows what will go wrong if i am the one to go do it
