today, i almost saved someone's life. i went to give plasma for the first time! they got me all registered and i had a physical. i had to read this little statement out loud saying i knew this was voluntary and all that good stuff. one of the words in it was plasmapheresis. i didn't even stumble over it and the guy was like 'woah. you're like the second person i've ever seen pronounce that word correctly the first time' :) but then when they tried to do it, it went really slow. so then they switched arms. but then they couldn't reconnect the machinery. so i didn't actually get to give plasma :( but i still got paid for it :) i'm going again on friday morning so i guess we'll see how that goes. they have cool fingerprint scanners there :)
i spent the afternoon at work :P i certainly made quite a bit of money today. one way more tedious than the other. although work was not too terribly boring. it was just work.
unfortunately, it is snowing again. what's the snow equivalent to a downpour? because that's definitely what's happening. one of my coworkers even thought she heard thunder. it took me at least five minutes to brush and scrape all the snow and ice off my car. and even then it was still kind of tough to see. my windshield wiper has like this one little spot where it never gets water so there's like a curved line of blurry wetness right in the middle of my windshield. it's quite irritating :P
