Daily spewage of a bitter mind.

Being the responsible person I am, I ordered two HIV testing kits a week or so ago online.  One for now, one for a few months down the line.  Sure I could go hit a free clinic or something, but sometimes I just want to handle things on my own at home.

The package had arrived on Saturday, but I had a guest who just arrived in town to start college and was hanging out with us, so I just put it aside in my room to deal with later.

Sunday night rolls around and the package is still staring at me.  So I spent some time pacing my room and psyching myself up and then relaxed in the lazy boy in my room.

I slowly opened the Fedex package and found two small boxes.  Not was I was expecting, but it didn’t matter as long as it got the job done.

I examined the box and a sticker was on it with something along the lines of “Keep stored at 42F, contains blood samples.”  Umm, well not yet it doesn’t!  Had I made a mistake and bought one of those kits that you have to send back to a lab?  It’s fine, but I was hoping for a more rapid test.

I open the box, and it contained a few vials…  What the..??  Then I noticed the vial and a bright red bold + on it.

They friggin sent me HIV samples, not HIV testing kits!!

How messed up is that?!   That’s the last time I order kits from THAT medical supply company.  So not only did I psych myself up for a test I couldn’t take, I have vials of HIV sitting in my room.   greeeeat!

I think Malcolm is paranoid I’m going to pour some in his drinks.
