Okay that was terrible. I go in to the hospital today to get my bloodwork done, and it was an absolute disaster. First off the waiting room was ridiculously crowded, so I spent quite a while browsing slashdot and talking to kayla22 while waiting, which was at least something other than reading their terrible magazines. Everyone was looking at me, I kept freaking out. Then I get called finally, go into the blood drawing room, and the lady pokes me and starts drawing blood. It quickly stops coming, she calls for someone to help her, and I recieve this wonderful pressure in my arm, so I start going ow, ow, and she takes it out after freaking out herself. Eventually someone else shows up and says to try a different vein. So we are now on my right hand, and she is getting blood, but it hurts, but I just want this DONE with, so I tell myself to shut up. The blood quickly stops coming again, and it REALLY hurts. She removes the needle as I am blacking out, and then all of a sudden there are more people telling me to do things like put my hand somewhere and lie my head somewhere. I say that I want to lie down and they pay very little attention. For whatever reason I am sweating all over. Finally I am put on a cot thing and they start fanning me. I’m very dizzy, very sweating, and very shitty. They get me orange juice and after quite some time I can get up. I walk over to the cafeteria and down a cup of soup and half a sandwich, value priced at 8 bucks without a drink -_-. I also down two packets of sugar. I walk back over to the lab. After standing around for longer than I should have had to, one of the guys stops pretending to be busy, points me in the direction of a competent professional, and I get all three vials done quick and easy.

I am so fucking drained right now I feel like I am dead. Walking up the stairs to my apartment was so hard, I almost fell backwards on one of the steps because I MISSED. Fuck fucking mills peninsula hospital aside from the ronaldo guy who didnt fucking suck ass.

I’m going to go sleep for 6 months. See you in february!
