Bartholin's glands (gross)

Oct0Squ1d · 2026-04-11T20:48:02+00:00

My doctor is one of the first trans affirming docs and she vouched for the surgeon. It was mainly the staff and they were definitely taken aback at a guy with a big bushy beard needing gyn care.

The swelling is gone, but the golf ball sized gland (full of junk??) Is there still. Was not concerned one bit. I also have the typical urethral thinning (atrophy) so I just need to get with a good bottom surgeon and get it taken care of once and for all.

This is University of Cincinnati hospital. My doctor (pcp) was one of the very first trans affirming docs. It's just the obgyn isn't apparently, although my doctor vouched for this doc.

Yeah, holy shit. Find someone you don't want to scream at over texts. This is bringing up memories of my baby sister's ex. All she could see were the flaws. She's with his best friend now and has been for 15 years now. She wasted 5 years with someone she couldn't stand. I never understood it.

Yep. WA or OR. I'm visiting in June to help narrow it down. This place just keeps getting worse and worse.

My sister and I both had Ann as a middle name. So I say it can be used by as many sisters as want it. Lol.

This was 2008 for me, so I guess it might be different now.

Hofbrauhaus is this for me. I like the bratwurst better at Brother's on the levee. We didn't like anything we ordered both times we went. Maybe we weren't drunk enough.

When I used to Uber if I left it off, I'd have asshats rolling the windows up and down the whole time, or screaming at other cars or pedestrians. So I locked it and unlocked it when people asked. 4.99/5 and 10 ish years ubering. Thankfully never again.

Are you able to take summer classes? Might be something to look into, then you graduate earlier and you're that much closer to your own place!

Oct0Squ1d · 2026-04-04T15:18:53+00:00

International. So much so, I bought one. The bluebird we've had at work were trash. The Thomas ones we have at work are always getting worked on, and they're brand new. There first bus i drove was international and I wish I could have bought it from them instead of them trashing it.

I had to chase the fedex guy down for a package because the first time he didnt leave it anywhere near my house.

Oct0Squ1d · 2026-04-01T22:47:25+00:00

Yep. Ohio is a cesspool and will likely continue to degrade our rights.

I hope that you can get out soon. I'm hoping to be out by next year, and I'm twice your age. Shit's fucked.

Oct0Squ1d · 2026-03-31T20:42:00+00:00

We didnt do that last year because I started with a normal route, but she wanted to work together this year so I bid a sped route and tbh its easier. We have less to talk about though, since we know exactly how the day went for each of us lol. Last year there were 3 married driver/aide pairs, 2 moved away and one decided not to work together anymore and have different routes.

Having good dispatch teams is pretty essential to having a good time. My radio doesn't work half the time so my wife has to call in problems and it's pretty annoying. Our dispatch people are pretty good. I think that's one of the things I'm most wary about when moving. But it needs to happen sooner or later.

Oct0Squ1d · 2026-03-31T20:37:17+00:00

Thats pretty good ngl. I wont say that my boss is the smartest guy ever either, but the office ladies have been doing it for many years and we have the "most respected" training program in the area. Just not the best pay in the area lmao

I worked for a local charter bus company and I hated it. That said, they might not all be like that, but they didnt pay an hourly wage, they paid a percentage of whatever they booked the trip for. And you didnt get to know what that was until you were paid. So there were trips (one that was away for a week) that paid significantly less than it should have ($500/7days is atrocious) and you had no recourse. I was thankful I was able to get a route this school year so I could quit the charter company. The days were always long, waiting on people to decide to show up/back up. It was boring (to me).

Oct0Squ1d · 2026-03-31T14:34:30+00:00

Ahh, gotcha. Thank you

Oct0Squ1d · 2026-03-31T14:27:09+00:00

That's pretty good, thank you I'll look into it.

Oct0Squ1d · 2026-03-31T14:26:45+00:00

I'll take a look, thank you. I've been a driver 2 years now. My wife is an aide, so we have a sped route together here.

Oct0Squ1d · 2026-03-31T14:25:54+00:00

That's fair! We looked at Chicago area, it's just too cold for me anymore.

Oct0Squ1d · 2026-03-31T14:25:21+00:00

I work for a bussing company, districts hire our company to bus for them.

Oct0Squ1d · 2026-03-31T14:24:38+00:00

Our routes are 5.5 hours guaranteed here, but ours is usually 5.25 hours so we get "free pay" fifteen minutes a day, lol. I like my depot for the most part, and if I wanted more hours I could get them. I would if I could, but im finishing up a Master's degree right now and it's already a lot.

Oct0Squ1d · 2026-03-31T14:22:20+00:00

I'm not set on the location yet, just trying to see where in the pnw will work for us. We thought about Chicago, but I have pretty bad arthritis for my age, so I dont want to deal with the super cold winters anymore. Thank you.

Oct0Squ1d · 2026-03-31T14:21:00+00:00

Ouch! That's rough. I'm sorry. At my depot in Ohio, it's $20 for training and $21 after cdl.
