I WANT YOUR BLOOD
The other day my work had a blood drive. I signed up and made some co-workers come with me. Before you donate they prick your finger and test your iron levels. So I tell the lady to take it from my thumb and she gets all freaked out and says she can't do that. Okay.. so I offer my left middle finger. Of course she can't get enough blood out of it no matter how much she is squeezing my hand. I tell her "really just prick my thumb" to which she gets all flustered again and says she will have to ask her lead. She comes back and tells me she has permission to take it from my pinky. I tell her that I give blood pretty regularly and they have always been fine with taking from a different finger and was wondering what the change was? She just says that it hurts a lot more in the pinky and thumb so they don't take from there. HELLO! I told you to do it! The last part before you donate is they give you a paper that has two stickers with bar codes on them. One says yes use my blood the other says don't use my blood. I start peeling the sticker as she walks away and she turns and says "Oh! Did you need help with that?". I just looked at her like, "Really? Really??" Guess what? I can use scissors too! Ggrr. I know she was just trying to be helpful but sometimes I can't help myself from being mean about it. :) On a happier note, it only took me 5 min and 4 sec to donate this time. Personal best! Haha..
