My phone rings. "Flight Design,

My phone rings.

"Flight Design, this is Sarah."

"Hi Sarah, this is Paul at FAA Houston Center. My security people just called to tell me that they have your driver's license."

Pause.

"Really. Hmm."

"Yep."

"Let me check my wallet... heh, well, I have no driver's license! I guess I didn't realize that they didn't give it back after I went through security!"

(laughing)

"Yeah, they usually give it back when you stop to turn in your temporary badge."

"Uh oh -- I didn't stop to turn in the badge, I just drove out the gate!"

"No worries, you're definitely not the first to do that. Want me to mail it to you? Let me get your address."

"Well, the address on the license is correct. Just mail it there."

(more laughing)

"That would make sense, wouldn't it."

"Yep. Thank you!!"

I can't believe I went a whole week without missing my driver's license! This is proof that no one checks even if your credit card says "see ID" and that I look enough older than 21 that I can get a margarita at Mely's without getting carded.
