In which I am a saint and do good works!
An IM conversation with Rich:
Oozaroo says: i just got a pre-recorded call from the blood centerRich says: You're special. Oozaroo says: telling me that 5 days after my blood was tested in the lab, it was sent to Beloit hospital to be used there because of an urgent need Oozaroo says: you know, that is a pretty good marketing strategy Oozaroo says: it personalizes your blood donation, and makes me want to do it again Oozaroo says: I know I'm being manipulated, but I'm not offended because it's for a good cause Rich says: Certainly .. if it's true, and they have the infrastructure (bar code readers and ability to track and report). Oozaroo says: your bag of blood is bar coded Rich says: Without having a lot of infrastructure in place, it could be very costly, or they could be lying. Oozaroo says: you are so cynical Oozaroo says: let me have my little victory of knowing that I did something for humanity, you soul-less bastard! Rich says: No - the soul-less bastard is probably who your blood saved. Rich says: Wino on the corner. Oozaroo says: you are pissing on the parade of my good works! Rich says: Crook who just stole an old lady's TV shot by the police. Oozaroo says: Maybe I saved the life of a mother who has adopted crippled Ethiopian children who was hit by a drunk driver on her way home from cheering them on at their soccer practice Rich says: Rather than donate blood - sell plasma. Least you get something monetary for that. Oozaroo says: I'm ashamed of you.
