The Registry

If you've ever lived in Ontario, you know that anything to do with car registration or your drivers license is pure hell. You venture off to this office that is open 5 days a week, 8 hours a day, like we live in 1930. The lineups are usually incredibly long & the wait tedious & the staff miserable because everyone they serve is miserable. It's a little more fun than going to the dentist.

Today, I went to the Alberta version of such. To start, they call it the Registry office and they're all over the place. Not just 2 in your city but 50. They are open at NIGHT. When you walk in, there is no line and the people were friendly and amiable. They quickly and happily answered my questions and went OUT of their way to help me out. No such thing would ever happen back in Ontario.

And you get 90 days to change over your license, unlike in Ontario where it's 6.
