Homeless Again...

Sorry to hear that, Steve.

Just remember; The farther you fall, the higher you bounce back up in the end.

Oh Steve, mate... I sometimes think that if it weren't for bad luck you'd have no luck at all

I'm fully confident you'll bounce right back as always....the good uns always do.

When your settled and have a permanent physical address, I hope you'll forward it to me.

The best of British mate

Damn, DAMN, DAMN!

Pardon the language, but I just got seriously disgusted with the US Postal System!

Part of not having an official residence is the problem of recieving mail. So I go to the post office to rent a PO box, and find out they have a new policy, and a new application to fill out.

Two forms of ID are required (nothing new there).

1) Picture ID. Driver's license. Check.

2) Passport, Visa or Green Card. I'm a US citizen, so I don't have any of those.

3) Proof of homeowner's insurance. Nope, don't own a home, or I wouldn't be homeless.

4) Proof of car insurance. Nope, don't own a car.

That's about it. Curiously, they won't take a Social Security card as a form of ID, and I don't have a copy of my birth certificate.

Bottom Line: Even though I have the money, they refuse to rent me a Post Office Box. I have to use General Delivery until I can sort it out. Needless to say I wrote a polite but angry e-mail to the Post Office, and today I'm calling their complaint line (at least they have one!).

Otherwise things are going alright. I won't say great, but only because I can't use my own computer right now, and can't play SH3 and 4. On the other hand, once I'm in the shelter I'll be able to save up for a car, a place, a new computer, band equipment, and all the other important things.

I think Kinkos or the UPS Store has mail boxes to rent.
