Ramblings of a Bunch of Otherwise Random People

The good news is, even though there were only 11 donors today (up from last week!) the out-of-house blood drives are booming. So, people are participating, just not when we are. Today's donors were very talkative. One man was explaining to a woman how to choose drives to get the "good" snacks in the aftercare, and Pure Soul and I talked about books with a man who used to deliver Mountain Dew. Someone joking round asked if we had any "spurters" yet, and volunteered when we said we hadn't. We're not allowed to talk about donations gone bad, but that apparently doesn't stop the donors themselves. When there were actually people in the center, the atmosphere was one of the most jovial I've witnessed so far.
