I actually have a goal now.  I'm going to see if I can work at Sikorsky Aircrafts after high school before and while in college because someone I know says they'll pay all my college except living there.

Which is really cool, they said they'd like me because I'm a young, bright electronic student.  My life goes on~  Geez I'm gonna have to get my actual drivers' license sometime.

"phlebotomist"

I have no idea how to say that.

Got a cool Deadpool shirt at ComicCon the other day.

Huzzah for food!
My arm is still a bit sore. Took a little while for the blood to start coming out.

Also learned what a "phlebotomist" was.

It's one of those things all the 40 year old women going back to college are training to be, right?

Its a nurse whose especially good at blood draws.
From my experience, it usually means you barely notice the needle.

That was an amazingly good guess.  I guess some trends are universal.

Signed up for a Model United Nations conference.

My assigned topic?

Boer War Crisis Committee

Three words: No-fly zone.



This made me happy:
Best. Children's. Book. EVER.

Spoiler: Actually, this would be a good one too. (click to show/hide)

I've had a lot of blood tests done, and I have to say a good hand with a needle can do it near painlessly, a bad hand can cause incredibly agony, the person at our local clinic isn't too bad but she still isn't the sheer perfection I found in a woman who rigged up my IV when I was in a hospital at one point...

I've also had my blood drawn with a vacuum needle twice, it's much worse than the modern method which uses your own pulse to push the blood up the needle... One of the times I had my blood drawn with a vacuum needle I remember the woman took several vials, my mother was puzzled by this because that much really shouldn't be necessary.
I think in retrospect I know what was going on, I was really horribly ill and had spent most of a month at home, so social services was checking up to make sure I was really ill... I think the reason they needed several vials was to check that I wasn't being kept ill by something else... In any case, probably one of the most painful experiences of my life.

Huzzah dude, good to see you have a clear idea of what to do on the next step. And it sounds like a good job to have.

Ah, a kindof scholarship/ apprenticeship arrangement?  Sounds cool, and definitely a good sign if they want you.

I've had some bad IV-nurses before.  The worst was when I had a kidney stone.  They couldn't find my arm vein so they had to put along the inner part of my right wrist near the thumb.  Holy shit it hurt, I think they must have brushed against something because it made my thumb move involuntarily.

Weird screenshots always make me happy.

That's very bad, they obviously hit a nerve, which can damage the nerve. They shouldn't actually have let it stay there, the fact that they did reeks of incompetence.

WZMR is back at last!

I'm in California! And it's nice!
