Beam/Colly? This may interest you!
Starting the day at 8ish, I had to do a few last minute things, like check that we hadn't run out of peanut butter again (more of that compelling story later), and by 8.50 I was clicking furiously away at the online shop before I "launched" it at 9.
An hour went by without an order, and I successfully rearranged my typing/packing workstation and ate some cereal.
THEN!... at 10.15 my first order came through, and I was in such a mad rush to get it sent out within the hour that I completely forgot to document the process (sorry, my bad, people!).
After sitting and looking at the freshly-packed order on my desk, I made some pancakes to celebrate.
This was them, and they were gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood :)
(Not quite as impressive as my childhood comic Rasmus Klump's pancake stacks (as seen here).
Anyway, as the minutes ticked by, I found myself becoming bored again, so I decided that the best thing to do to calm my first-day-nerves was to beat the crazy ass gym boss of Pokémon Red's Cinnibar Island.
It looked a little something like this...
Next came giving blood.
I was thinking about taking a picture of me with a needle in my arm and a big bag of blood rocking on the floor (so it doesn't clot), but I thought that if I pulled out my phone and took a picture I'd get some very odd looks!
Instead, I watched this little "Progress" bar thing that shows 10-100% and I had a very horrifying JD-type dream that the bar was 100% but the machine kept draining my blood until I was just a pile of skin on the floor...think Jabba the Hut but worse.
When the bars reached 100%, Jenny the nurse came over and I found out that it took me 8 minutes to give 1 pint of blood and there's, what, 10 pints of blood in the average adults body... so in theory that machine could have changed me into Jabba in less time than a full football game! :S
I know it's not a closeup of the needle in my vein, but here's the little plaster they put on my arm afterwards.
Getting back, and after eating some pork chops, I checked the shop to find that I had gotten my SECOND ORDER OF THE DAY!
What may be of great interest to you... This means that FREE DELIVERY will be added to the next 3 orders at http://bit.ly/fgiEK as 2+3=5 :)
Just in case you were wondering, I had a big peanut butter and banana sandwich to celebrate this new order, and like the victory pancakes earlier, it was gooooooooooooooooooood too.
Out.

P.S. They were all out of ordinary "I donated blood today" stickers so I opted for the awesome Uncle one available - I just wish I could say that I drew it myself!
