I'd say a common thread of this blog is going to be how much easier things can be if you just make sure you're prepared before you actually go to the DMV office. I've spent my fair share of time waiting in lines and being annoyed by rude and stubborn DMV clerks and I see everyone else getting the same bad treatment. So, the last few times I've decided to go ahead and made an internet search or two in order to find a better solution to being stuck in line all the time. Most of the time I find the actual state run DMV portals to be worse than useless for the average driver. You can't get the type of answer you want quickly and the design and layout are outdated. Recently I've found DMV.com and things are now a lot easier.
