i gave blood today and was a man about it!

[Keyser Soze]

My company is having another blood drive today, they have them all the time here, and I decided I would give some of my own.

I was nervous, I never gave blood before. I'm not a big fan of needles, I guess i'm a big baby. Anyway, I got through it and when I went over to the table where they give you juice and snacks to recover the nurse said I was turning pale. I felt fine at first, but I soon felt really dizzy and everything was getting really bright. Then I starting to lose my hearing. I think I was pretty close to passing out. Someone came over and helped me back over to the table where I laid down and after a while later I was fine again.

So anyway, just thought i'd share. I'm entitled to start a meaningless thread here and there, no?
