@everypony I missed you!
Saturday, 08-Oct-11 19:22:46 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark *hugs*
Saturday, 08-Oct-11 19:23:39 UTC from web -
@ceruleanspark Shock! And awe! well, not so much awe. You get the point!

@greydragon412 Even when they're here?
Saturday, 08-Oct-11 19:24:47 UTC from web -
@hoit21 Thanks!
Saturday, 08-Oct-11 19:24:55 UTC from web -
@greydragon412 A weird way to do think, but I like it!
Saturday, 08-Oct-11 19:26:02 UTC from web -
@hoit21 I have this thing called a job, and this other thing called school, and they were holding me captive!
Saturday, 08-Oct-11 19:26:51 UTC from web -
@hoit21 Only one of them pays, unfortunately.
Saturday, 08-Oct-11 19:29:27 UTC from web -
@hoit21 Yes. Payed by school, and work charges per semester.
Saturday, 08-Oct-11 19:35:03 UTC from web -
@hoit21 Yep! I just love drawing blood so much that I do this stupid school thing to make the money to pay for it!
Saturday, 08-Oct-11 19:38:16 UTC from web -
@hoit21 "Assistant medical technician" at a blood clinic. Basically it means I take blood, put it in centrifuges, and write e-mails. Fun stuff.
Saturday, 08-Oct-11 19:45:31 UTC from web-
@everypony Are you any good at it? Being able to draw blood well is a skill.
Saturday, 08-Oct-11 19:46:39 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark I'm okay. Anyone not good enough gets fired after a week, and I'm still here.
Saturday, 08-Oct-11 19:48:24 UTC from web-
@everypony I've seen experienced medical staff take 5 tries to find a vein, and watched someone cock up a chelation test last time I gave blood, so it's not like that everywhere.
Saturday, 08-Oct-11 19:49:13 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark Some people's veins are hard to find. Maybe you have that problem?
Saturday, 08-Oct-11 19:50:53 UTC from web-
@everypony My veins are naked eye visible most of the way up my arm.
Saturday, 08-Oct-11 19:52:01 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark Well, that's weird! Oh right! You live in the UK, right? The health care is free, and less money is given to training(maybe?)? That makes sense to me!
Saturday, 08-Oct-11 19:53:57 UTC from web-
@everypony Technically, we all pay for it in tax, so it's not free free. We just don't get billed at the time.
Saturday, 08-Oct-11 19:55:34 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark That system is so much better you have no idea. You know it costs $250 for four stitches in the emergency room? It does!
Saturday, 08-Oct-11 19:57:05 UTC from web-
@everypony My girlfriends mother is currently long term hospitalised. Considering she is in a "pay for treatment or die" situation, seeing the bills made me murderously angry.
Saturday, 08-Oct-11 19:59:01 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark It's kind of ridiculous! I know for a fact that the materials going into some of that stuff cost, like, twelve bucks!
Saturday, 08-Oct-11 20:00:26 UTC from web-
@everypony It was the small things that offended me. She's hemiparalysed, so she can't go anywhere, but they bill her $12 a day to watch TV in her bed.
Saturday, 08-Oct-11 20:01:36 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark No grapes? Well, that's one thing we don't do! T.V. is free in the hospitals here, but it's things like the drugs. They charge so much for things anyone reasonably good at chemistry could make in a couple hours and twenty bucks worth of supplies!

@everypony Try with a saw, or with that radiactive thing they use to search for broken veins.
Saturday, 08-Oct-11 19:52:47 UTC from web-
@nerthos Everywhere! Blood everywhere!

@everypony Like an higyenic vampire?
Saturday, 08-Oct-11 19:47:46 UTC from web-
@nerthos Yeah, except I don't drink it and I get paid! Well, maybe I drink a little......
Saturday, 08-Oct-11 19:49:36 UTC from web-
@everypony Yeah, it tastes good.
Saturday, 08-Oct-11 19:49:56 UTC from web-
@nerthos Yum yum!

@hoit21 I'ma find you!
Saturday, 08-Oct-11 19:47:45 UTC from web -
@hoit21 MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
Saturday, 08-Oct-11 19:51:02 UTC from web -
@hoit21 Take yo' blood!
Saturday, 08-Oct-11 19:54:15 UTC from web -
@hoit21 Bwahahahaha!
Saturday, 08-Oct-11 19:57:23 UTC from web -
@hoit21 You can't escape! Mwuahaahha! *Gives chase*
Saturday, 08-Oct-11 20:01:06 UTC from web -
@rotation As well as to be expected. It's been nearly a year since her mother has been at home now. I'm doing my best to make sure she's as happy as she can be, but I don't really think anything I do or say can fix that feeling.
Saturday, 08-Oct-11 20:03:15 UTC from web -
@hoit21 Lies! "Chases faster!"
Saturday, 08-Oct-11 20:05:47 UTC from web -
@hoit21 NEVER ESCAPE! I WILL POKE YOU FULL OF NEEDLES! HAHAHAHA!!!!! *Pulls a Pinkiekeen Pinkie Pie chase scene*
Saturday, 08-Oct-11 20:09:04 UTC from web -
@hoit21 You can't! *pokes full of needles*
Saturday, 08-Oct-11 20:10:17 UTC from web -
@hoit21 Poo. That's no fun! How would I hear your screams of terror if you were dead?
Saturday, 08-Oct-11 20:13:03 UTC from web -
@hoit21 *Sigh of epic proportions* Fine..... If I have to.....
Saturday, 08-Oct-11 20:16:43 UTC from web -
@hoit21 Not sure that's the best way to win! BD
Saturday, 08-Oct-11 20:18:16 UTC from web -
@hoit21 You could just knock yourself out.........
