 Todays moment of validation: CC'ed the house owner on a DMV thing, and while writing the summary-of-the-call email, received a text saying "That must have been a very annoying phone call." 
 For how my mind works, the actual talking-to-a-human was the good part. Not "fun" but gratifying in the sense that progress was being made quickly and answers were immediate.

The tough part was the research I needed to bring together to make the call (which the owner did, and I collated) and the mapping and exploration I needed to do of the CA DMV phone system to get to the callback prompt.
