Listen, world.
My last name is HYPHENATED. Not Reed. Not Romero. Fucking ROMERO-REED.
In your systems, my last name is typed as Romero-Reed. When you ask me what my last name is to find me on your computer and I tell you Romero-Reed (I usually even spell it!), do not immediately search for Reed. Do not act surprised that you do not find me. That is because my last name is ROMEROFUCKINGREED.
When you write me a prescription, write it for Romero-Reed. Attentive employees at Walgreen's do not give out controlled substances to someone with a different last name, even if it is similar.
When you send me a whole book of new checks, the name in the upper right-hand corner should match WHAT IT ACTUALLY IS IN REAL LIFE.
When I book a flight, my boarding pass ought to match my license and passport. Otherwise I'm fucking grounded.
And for god's sake, when you file my tax return, do not file it for Reed. Whoever Olivia Reed may be, she does not share my social security number. Or my taxes. Or my income.
You're starting to get it, I hope.
Also, I am to be addressed as such. If you were a...a Parham, I would not call you Mr. Ham. I would say Mr. Parham. That is your last name. Well, people of the 'verse, mine is Romero-Reed. Wrap your grubby little brains around it.
