Pretty Backed-Up

Donating

Right arm, yellow ring, blue 7, booth 1, machine 08

They’re pretty backed up today

I had a 12:30 appointment

& I didn’t get called to check in ’til 12:59

After the about 5 minute check in

Where they take your weight, blood pressure, etc.

There was still another wait just to get to a bed

About 5 or so people in front of me

Which luckily didn’t last too long

As I got to a bed by 1:19, but now

I’m waiting again to get pricked

So I can actually start donating

So, if I’m lucky & being in the next 10 minutes

I’ll only have waited an hour since my scheduled time

Where I’ll get out of here after another hour

But only if I’m lucky & they don’t

Make me wait to be unhooked
