703mL Over 703mL

Donating

Left arm, orange ring, blue 4, booth 1, machine 10

It’s been slow here today

45 minutes after my appointment

And I’m still waiting to start

I’m through all the check-ins

Which didn’t take particularly long

About as long as I’d expect

But I’ve been sitting on the bed

Doing nothing

Though, someone just came over

So hopefully that means I’ll begin soon

…

Something not quite interesting

Though stood out to me today

Is that I donated exactly the amount

That the machine says it needs to take

Normally it goes 1 to 3 mL over

But today, it stopped at exactly

703mL over 703mL
