Low expectations are a good thing?

I had to renew my driver's license today.

Of course I prepared for the worst experience ever. Because that's what a trip to the DMV is, right?

I brought snacks, books and games for Anna. I brought a book for myself (book 3 of Fablehaven) and figured we'd be there for a couple of hours. I put on my happy face, because I knew everyone there would be cranky.  It's January. It's cold. And every time I've gone to the DMV before those factors seem to play on the employees.
Usually it's:
"Hey lady, I don't care if you waited for an hour, the line you are suppose to be in is over there."
or
"Oh my gosh, lady, could you write any slower?"

I'm hear to tell you that today, today the DMV fates or what have you, were smiling down on me.

I walk in the door. I give them ALL the required documents. I am smiled at and thanked. I sit down with Anna and less five minutes later I leave the building with a new driver's license.

I didn't even get to read my book.

I guess it pays to have low expectations. No one is too disappointed if the experience is horrible, because they are prepared for it. And when things go well,
they are pleasantly surprised.

Thank you Utah DMV, however, now my expectations will be higher.
 ps. does any one else think it's absolutely ridiculous that they still  ask for hair/eye color and weight?  Come on.....
