Blood Money



Tomorrow there is a city-sponsored blood drive at one of our public schools. I signed up to donate blood at 12:45.

Tomorrow is an early release day. The kids get dismissed at noon, but teachers are contracted to stay until 2:45. I was told that if I signed up to donate blood, I could go over, donate and then immediately leave to go home.

Now don't get me wrong. I believe in donating blood. I have done it more times than I can count. However, the last three times, due to low iron levels, I was unable to donate. That most likely will be the case again. But nobody will find out, right?

So, tomorrow I get to give a pint of blood and then head home.

Hell...at this point I'd give a kidney to get out of work a little early.
