Just realized to my great irritation that I've dropped the time dimension off of the last two months of GPS data I've collected. That means paths, but no times of day; no speeds. Incredibly annoyed.

So I went and gave blood after work today. As usual, the pricking of the finger for the iron test was more painful than the actual giving of blood. The actual needle insertion, moderately painful but always super duper creepy, was milder today than I would have thought possible. I asked the [nurse? technician? harvester?] how she managed to get a gigantic reverse-mainlining needle stuck into my arm so easily, and she said, "Well, I used to work mostly with children." So that made sense. Completely forgot to ask what her name was. At any rate, I currently face the task of ripping a bunch of sticky surgical tape off of my hairy arm, and so am procrastinating.
