I gave blood (the after-work update)

Several of the other donors were impressed with how fast I gave my pint... about 7 minutes. It's odd. The last time I gave blood, they really had to coax it out of me.

Of course, now I'm a pint short of blood on one of the busiest days of my work year.

(Thanks to a coworker who took the picture of me "in the act," and to another coworker who forwarded it to me. I am such a nerd, reading my "post-donation instructions.")
