As of Friday morning I am officially alive and not in fact a member of any undead community! I have the bruise -- still; and it keeps getting worse, too -- to prove it.
(I went to my physical at work Wednesday morning, sat down at the blood work station, and waited for 10-15 minutes while they (the actual station nurse and another one she went and got when she wasn't having success) tried to find a vein. And then they found one after using a blood pressure cuff instead of a tourniquet, but when they put the needle in ... no blood came out ... idek. I mentioned I live behind a Quest and got OH OKAY LET'S SEND YOU THERE THEN WE'RE REALLY SORRY WOULD YOU LIKE SOME DOUGHNUT HOLES SINCE THE BLOOD PRESSURE CUFF MADE YOU SO FUCKING DIZZY in response. At least the doughnut holes were good.)
I hate that I dread going to work so often now. I really do genuinely love my job, but then there's the part where the department manager doesn't listen when people tell him his ideas are complete shit, so we get stuck doing things that make no goddamn sense whatsoever while he wonders why we're taking so long to complete our scheduled testing. Gosh, I don't know, maybe the twelve changes you've made since November that we still haven't shaken all the problems out of? Might have something to do with it. Just saying.
I can't remember what I was planning on reading next -- other than The Merlin Conspiracy, because I just finished Deep Secret -- but I should probably find out. Or make a decision. Anyone have any recommendations? I can trade movie recs, if you like.

Well. When you completely impede blood flow. It won't flow. That is actually how taking blood pressure works. It cuts off circulation to anything below the cuff. So in conclusion why would you do that.
(Them, as opposed to actually you.)
