Here to complete my civil obligation and answer the call for Jury Duty. Star loss because I am used to the Norwalk courthouse that has a larger "corral" for us potential jurors and has many more little cubicles for people to still do work. This jury farm room has but two library-esque tables and that's it. Free Wi-Fi but it runs super slow. No cafeteria, just vending machines and you go through a security scan at entrance. If you are here for jury duty, bring stuff with you to do. This room has nothing but chairs like a mini theater without the main feature and the tables I mentioned. Food in the area? (This is still Yelp, right??) I am going to try that Koo-Koo grill place and if I am here longer, naturally a trip to Taco Nazo is warranted which never disappoints. Think of it like a flight, with internet but no Facebook or Twitter. Sitting around, sitting around...

WORST EASTER EGG HUNT EVENT EVER. KIDS GOT SHAFTED. The City could not even post a time for the…read morehunt on their event poster, then told us around noon it would happen at 1pm. We waited patiently til around then, when staffers told us to wait next to the baseball field, which we did, while we saw a whole bunch of other people heading around another entrance onto the field, apparently unimpeded. THEN they finally let our group in to walk towards our age group's (6-8?) enclosure, only to then be told they weren't ready. They herded us to the other side of the metal fence to wait. We were around 20th in line at that point, and again waited patiently. It wasn't until 117p that they started to lay out the eggs in that area. THEN they told us all to get back in line at the original entrance to the enclosure, but in doing so maybe a HUNDRED people were allowed to CUT THE LINE in front of us. They then started allowing kids into the enclosure but they DIDN'T LET ALL THE KIDS IN before around 130p they STARTED THE EGG HUNT WITHOUT THEM! It seemed like at least few dozen kids (including ours) WERE LEFT OUT, after waiting PATIENTLY ALL THAT TIME. The hunt was over by 133p, and Rec staff were not apologetic. The Mayor acted like this was not a huge debacle, and said we should try again next year. I don't think so. WHAT A NIGHTMARE OF A CITY. GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER.

I told the same guy 4 times at least that she was allergic to Penicillin and they just said okay and pretty much blew it off and forgot. When I got to the hospital with her I had to retell them again until they finally gave her a wristband. Please never let this happen again I understand it was a hot day and too have so many firefighters packed in a small place can be disorienting but this is a critical mistake. Otherwise fast arrival and handling of the emergency.

I had to make the dreaded visit to the DMV when a driver's license renewed online never arrived in…read morethe mail. I got to the DMV around 11am and immediately saw a group of people hanging around the entrance. There was a staff member at the door who was trying to answer everyone's questions as they arrived. I followed the posted directions and used the QR code to check in. I was then directed to head over to a separate room to fill out another DL renewal form online. Make sure you take a pic of the confirmation number. They'll ask you for it later. I asked a staff member about receiving a text prior to my name being called and he confirmed that I would get a text about 10 mins prior. During the QR code check in process, you provide your phone number. The DMV will then send you a text, confirming your number. The text sent will also provide information on your place in line. This allowed me to sit outside away from the crowd. When I was called up, I got the unfriendly service the DMV is known for. I was told another DL would come in the mail after she reviewed my online form. Overall, besides the unfriendly service, I really liked the updated check in process and not having to wait inside for my name to be called. Thankfully, I wasn't charged again for this request.

So apparently the DMV has entered the modern era. There's no more standing in a long line just to…read morecheck in. You scan a QR code and self check-in. If you make an appointment online, they even send you a text the day before that lets you skip the line and check in 10 minutes early, as long as your location services are on. And honestly... THANK YOU. Standing in line just to say "I'm here" used to be unnecessarily frustrating. This new process is way more efficient (wild that it took this long to figure out). My daughter's appointment was at 3:00 PM. We arrived at 2:50 PM, checked in, and were out by 3:10 PM. Yes, you read that right. In and out. Y'all know that rarely happens at a DMV. This is officially the first time I've ever been pleased with a DMV experience.
