Modern Inconveniences

Changing my name isn't always a huge inconvenience thanks to scanners, email, and fax machines. But there are still a few important places I had to go in person like the Social Security office (conveniently located five minutes from work) and the Department of Driver Services (open till 6:30 during the week and all day on Saturday). For some strange reason, the county tag office thinks they are deserving of a visit to change my name on my car tags, and of course their business hours fall within the time I have to be at work during the week. I cannot simply fax them my car title and marriage certificate (neither of which has my picture on it, so why to they have to see me in person?). I can have my dear husband bring them in since he has to go in to renew his tags and change them to Hall county, but then I have to make sure he has a notarized power of attorney to go along with those other official documents. Ah, the joys of governmental bureaucracy!
