Odd Moment of the Day
Sep. 28th, 2004 01:04 pmWhile answering some questions with a co-worker, the phone rang. It was the Hoxworth Blood Center, calling to let me know that they are desperately in need of my A+ type blood and if I would be interested in donating. They're giving out free tickets to King's Island apparently.
I told the lady on the line that I was permanently deffered. She says "Oh no" in sympathy. I tell her that I'm deferred for a lifestyle choice, not a disease. She says "Okay" and proceeds to ask if I could tell others in my office about the King's Island offer. Uh, okay... I guess...
Strange how my blood type was in such high demand, but is no longer any good. At least they'll stop bugging me now.
PS: Just so you know I coined "lifestyle choice" meaning I was choosing to live a gay man finally, not that I chose to be gay. I thought that read a little strange. I'm sure she didn't know the difference.
