What made you unhappy today? 7.0

[Devlyn]

I removed my Christmas thread. Sorry.

Thanks Liz

I'll be okay, just a bit annoyed with the situation and the painful numbness makes me nauseous

I hope you apply generous amounts of ice pack on the hurting areas!

Get better soon.
One of the reason that I moved to Florida was my annual tradition to slip on the ice!

How that?  That does not make much sense to me!

With assisted breathing my sinuses compacted.  Everyone is different.  I've had sinus issues forever.  This is what happened to me.  Not much that needs to be understood.

I understand!
I made my living in infection control & prevention, and I just asked out of professional curiosity.

This day started out great, I checked the tracking of my orders and it seemed that all three of them will arrive today to the automated parcel box I have chosen. Then the confirmation messages started coming in, first one is there, great. I knew the other two will arrive there today as well so I waited.

Then the next two messages arrived saying they dropped off my orders at the post office instead of the automated parcel box.
The problem is that they are all addressed to a person who officially does not exist yet, me as a female.

I obviously cannot show any ID to prove that I am that person. I don't want to forge authorization papers written by my officially non-existent self to get them using my current ID.

And as our government stopped processing name and gender marker change requests 6 months ago there is absolutely no way to get IDs to my chosen name(and I'm not really ready for full-time...).

If I don't pick them up, they'll send them back so I'll have to pay for delivery again and wait another month to get them.

Won't the post office send you a parcel pickup notice? I've never been asked for ID when presenting one of those.

Dear Lynne,
Here in the USA if I miss a delivery at home, the Postal Carrier will usually leave a postcard form that can be sent in or phoned in to the local Post Office for a re-delivery attempt at no additional charge.

I am not sure how it might be in your country but perhaps a phone call or leaving a note for your post office and/or postal carrier to request re-delivery to your home.

Good luck,  please keep us all updated.
Hugs,
Danielle

No, as this was originally supposed to be placed in an automated parcel box. In this case you get an SMS notification on your phone with the opening code, you go there, input your phone number and the code and the box which holds your package opens. They don't even know your address in this case so there is nowhere to send the pickup notice.

When they didn't have enough space there they switched to post office pickup but they still only had the name I entered, my phone number and the package number.

And even if you get a pickup notice, the rules state that you have to show your ID if you wish to get your package and they always record the ID number and name of the person who picked up the package.

If I choose home delivery and they don't find me home, they will leave a pickup notice but in this case they should have delivered it to an automated parcel locker similar to this:


In the end I went to the post office to see if anything can be done without explaining the whole MtF transitioning thing to them.
Luckily, because I had the package numbers on my phone and I knew who sent the package and the recipient name as well, and even the family names matched(what a surprise), they gave me the packages. They recorded my current ID number and name in the system, if the original recipient says that she didn't get the package, they know where to find me. But I probably won't call the police on myself as I gave myself the package when I got home

Getting  sick of people  saying  that I look like the ">-bleeped-< " "guy "  from the game stop thing going on line like really give it up grrrrrrrrrrr  happened at work, messages on my pof account  and on Instagram  see one persons qction can cause crap for others it is bs though

Was at the urologist today, because of the pain  I have in my testicles, hoping he would agree that a removal of them could be a viable option.  I seem to have an inflammation of the Vas Deference.  He prescribed some antibiotics, and wants to see me back in 3 weeks, and hew ants to discuss any orchiectomy with his peers. 
They seem to have a policy here in SW Florida hat they will not do any orchiectomy for transgender reasons alone.  He told me clearly that I would not find a urology surgeon here, who would do this!

He also told me that it would not bring much, because my testicles are so far atrophied that it is not very likely that they produce any testosterone anymore.
That is at least one good news, but I would still prefer the things to be gone, because they are in the way all the time, even as little as they are!

It is nice to receive gifts occasionally, even from yourself!

My favorite of our dogs got killed by a delivery truck today. Deaf old girl probably didn't even hear it.
