this was just a blatant nothing post to let Sarah know that I read her thread too 
Thanks for chiming in, Faith! It's always good to know you're all out there.
So I'm still waiting for my actual license to show up, but I went over to Social Security & got my name changed with them (now I'm waiting on that to come in the mail, too!). I almost couldn't, because apparently there's something wrong with the Kansas temporary licenses that makes them invalid as proper identification (just Kansas, every other state is supposedly OK....). I managed to scrounge up enough items to prove I was me (oddly, the note from my doctor was the key). Unfortunately, they can't change the gender they have listed without a corrected birth certificate. I ran over to the local department of health (I was in Missouri for this, anyway) and asked, and a very nice woman gave me some documents to fill out and a phone number to call to get the ball rolling on that. Didn't have a chance to call today, but I'll get that done tomorrow during lunch. At least my parents did one thing right - having me in Missouri (even though it was only 3 blocks in from the state line!).
Meanwhile, I have 2 shiny new debit cards with the correct name on them now, and today I got my first paycheck made out to Sarah. Squeee!!!! Oh, I also got my very first piece of junk mail addressed to Sarah! I'm actually going to keep it as a memento.

I tried to get my records at the doctor's changed over, but I have to do that in person. I did manage to get a prescription for some emla cream, though. It's sitting here, waiting to be slathered on before my next electrocutioner session (Monday).
