I called homeland security and made a complaint, I complained with social security and obviously no one cared he is still here. He was abusing elderly people asking them why they were laughing in line last time I was there and refused to let someone in with a head scarf. Ask them if they what business they had and if they were American? Really?? I gave them the number to make another complaint but the other complaints went no where! This person is awful!

Co, BTW), the gentleman working window 8, whose name I have shamefully failed to note, was friendly, patient, and helpful, answer questions and ensuring that all forms were filled out properly, and all fees and required documents clearly specified. What could have been a painful, confusing process was mitigated by his professional attitude, knowledge, and patience. Many, many thanks to this gentleman!

I called ahead this morning and was told to just come in anytime with my documents. When I arrived, I waited per the instructions on the office door.

We don't call global entry customers in until between 2-3. It was noon, and I had got a ride from Vancouver just for this. Waste of gas money and my valuable time.

Knowing that the (current) deadline is May, I had to make an appointment just in case I had a reason to fly somewhere...hey it could happen. My appointment was at 10:30 am. The line was wrapped around the building. I was pretending like I was ok with it, but when someone came out and said everyone with appointments could jump the line and move up, I kicked it up to fourth gear. Unfortunately this excitement didn't last long. I got to the front of the line, and then an announcement comes over the intercom. "Entire state of Oregon has outage. License printing is down." I know I wasn't the only person upset, but it kinda killed my buzz. The woman who verified my information was super nice though. She was very impressed that I had all of the correct documents. Well since it opens tomorrow at 8 am, I am gonna take the trip out there and pray that the system is back up. If I am smart I will call before I go.

I don't want to jump too high on my Foucault soap box, but critical studies of our social institutions leave much to be desired...and while a good pulp fiction novel is amusing from time to time, why don't we do something to actually allow prisoners to be educated rather than simply incarcerated? One thing you and I can easily do? Reach out to those who are trapped in this system by providing them an opportunity to educate themselves! You can make tax-deductible donations to both "Books To Oregon Prisoners" and "Portland Books To Prisoners." I dropped off about 75lbs of college books (ironically, this included my well loved post-structuralist/post modernism literary criticism textbook...) but for the exceptionally ambitious, you can get involved in one of their weekly volunteer nights to help package and ship! Here is a list from their website of other places you can drop off your donations: * The Haven Cafe @ the corner of SE 35th & Division * Laughing Horse Books @ 12 10th St. between Couch & Burnside * In Other Words Books @ 8 N. Killingsworth St. * Rocco's Pizza @ SW 10th & Oak * Hollywood Theatre @ 4122 NE Sandy Blvd. * Blackrose Collective Bookstore @ 4038 N.

I UNDERSTAND RULES, I enforced them at 2 DMV's, I also had to deal with TERRIBLE employees like this lady at CRCI Saturday 2:00. I experienced humiliation, disrespect, and indignation by the way the guard talked to me. I had driven 2 hrs, with 7 month old baby Grandsons' fiancee'. Website said kids under 3 not counted, tried to put baby on the reservation list anyway, (unsuccesssful). Grandson has never seen his son. Visit time wasted waiting to enter. I asked for supervisor to make exception, (NO)! Fiancee went in, I headed for the bathroom when asked to leave so I did w/baby. I lugged 26 lb baby back to car. After 10 mins I had to go to the bathroom so bad, I walked back, forgot my mask in the car, I sat on the bench and started to cry. A wonderful Guard came out of the other bldg, gave me a mask and left the door open so I could go into bathrm. Lady Guard gave me a dirty look. I left, sat on bench to wrap blanket around baby, Lady Guard came out and yelled "YOU CAN'T STAY THERE", I said "I know". She yelled, "THEN GO! I was so embarrased with the visitors coming out at the same time. She needs to find another job, obviously hates this one. TERRIBLE state employee that treats the public like s---!
