Fever, baby.

I went to the plasma center today, trying to sell some plasma for pizza money. I filled out their stupid surveys, gritted my teeth at the homophobic battle-axe, and pissed in a cup (btw, man do I love peeing in a cup) just to get to the point where they take blood pressure and temperature to get kicked out. My temperature always runs pretty high, but today I was over 100, so they gave me the boot and told me to come back on Thursday.

I'll make sure to get my temp taken before I pee in the cup next time.

Too bad, that's the most exciting thing to happen to me recently. . .

You'd think they'd want to do the temp first. Save money on pee cups.

Yeah, those plastic Dixey cups don't grow on trees! : )

I can't say I've ever had the pleasure of peeing in a cup or giving plasma for that matter.

I've given blood many times, never been rejected though.

We had to do drug testing all the time back in high school, so I'm an old pro at peeing in a cup. I've only had blood taken once. I'll probably go back on Thursday and try again, and if that doesn't work out I'll use the ole three strikes and I'm out rule. : )

Wow found memories of high school. lol.

Try drinking lots of water before you go, to try and cool your body down.

oO Seriously? Why didn't they take your temp before that stuff? Geez, one would love to think they actually use their brains ...

I dunno, I guess they think people should know if their temp is over 99.6? I really don't know, but I'll be more careful about that in the future.

Mmmmmm, braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaainssssssssssssss . . .
