pumpin' away today
I gave blood today. It only took me four and a half minutes to pump out the ol' pint this time around. I'm pretty sure that's a personal best.
Nobody else within four cubicles of me donated today. I don't know if they were too busy or afraid of needles or had paid for sex since 1977, but it disheartens me to be the only one running around with the goofy purple bandage on my elbow.
Or maybe I'm confusing "dishearten" with "embarrass"--except that I wasn't embarrassed. That said, I chose not to wear the Ziggy "I gave blood today" sticker.
