Ok, I know most of you will want to call --- on this one, but let me explain how mine went....

Sent in the application, about 4-5 days later, I called in to make sure it was received. The lady that helped me was VERY friendly and VERY helpful. I thanked her and got off the phone.

A little while later, it occured to me that normally the treatment of a state or fed gov office is usually VERY crappy. This was certainly not my experience with this office. I called back and got the email address of the supervisor of the department. I emailed them telling them what a great service the lady offered and how I really appreciated it. I know they dont get much if ANY positive recognition from the public, so what can this hurt?

Well, the next day, I got an email from the lady that helped me and it said that she really appreciated the compliments and commendation. As such, her words were that "she could'nt help herself, and grabbed my file to move it to the top of the list". I had my permit in a total of about 3.5 weeks, door to door.

No ____ guys.

A little compliments can go a long way.
