Chatty!co-worker made me snort with laughter earlier -- we were talking about how it seems weird that the IRA *wasn't* behind this London bombing, when he said "Has anyone considered that it might be more Daleks have gotten loose?"

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I actually like to see how fast I can fill up the plastic bag with my pint--I usually beat out the other donors around me.
I try to do that, but I have problem veins and unless the needle strike is just right, my pint fills up slowly. I got stopped one time because I exceeded the time limit for donation.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I have B+, which isn't particularly rare. I may try to give again, but it's hit and miss for me. Sometimes I can give a bag full, other times it gets about half full and the blood just stops flowing into it. Kinda frustrating, since the needle's already there, so I might as well get some good out of having holes punched in my arm.

My local Red Cross just confirmed that the rules have changed and that I can donate again. You now have up to five years in Europe, unless you spent more than three months in the U.K. between 1980 and 1996. This is a much more reasonable policy. The old one was crazy.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Yep.
Paul still can't donate. Spent just enough time in the UK to exclude him.
I think I could, but the nausea and bruising from the blood draw means I don't. If I were AB-, like my sister, I'd suck up and deal, but I'm B+, so I don't.

Aeryn Sun's sauna slippers??????
That's going a bit far.
I would like her S1 jacket and pants, however.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I'm O positive, and tend towards low blood pressure. The last time I gave blood, which was about 5 years ago, the woman drawing blood looked at me as I started to get up and told me not to move, she'd bring the cookies to me.
20 minutes later she finally let me leave, with a friend, and told me they really didn't need my blood that badly.

FUCK.
It's my coworker. Unofficially, of course because his group doesn't find out till later (gave him warning so they can see if they can find him a local position.)
FUCK. I was afraid of this. He hadn't told me yet, but my idiot manager came by to "check up" hello, I'm sitting right here so he outed him.
I don't like this.
