Whenever I miss a USPS shipment (because, of course, everything gets delivered when I'm in lab), I have to go to the nearest USPS store and pick it up myself with a valid ID. Last time I did this, I ran into the problem of my ID information not matching up with my shipping information, thereby defeating the purpose of showing an ID.

On my ID: Legal name + Mechanicsville address.

Shipped package: Nickname + Brookline address.

The guy was nice enough last time (though hesitant, understandably), but I need to figure something out soon, especially for some recent online purchases I made under "Lauren Lee" before I realized this was a problem. Eh...

Over a year after I dealt with the AMCAS craze, I am *still* getting reminder emails from AMCAS stating that I did not assign a recommendation letter packet to University of Illinois (for the 2008-2009 application cycle, by the way). It's annoying the hell out of me but I have no idea how to stop getting these emails.
