gosh, my life is rather exciting these days. after having my hair dryer go up in smokes and my bag being glued to the floor AND finding out i need glasses (and how expensive these things can get), i walked into work yesterday thinking it can’t get much worse.
wrong.
there was a bloody accident and for some reason the ones who are the designated first responders at work did not quite function how i think a first responder should act. you know, saying things like “wow, that’s a lot of blood”, and “you look like you got stabbed” surely does not help the situation. good grief. i ended up taking care of one of the injured, a colleague watched the other one, clearly afraid of the blood.
i mean it was not a butcher-like situation. it’s the usual, it looks worse than it actually is. but what was the most annoying is the bystanders who didn’t do stuff. they did not offer to help, yet they also did not just disappear into their offices. gosh, sometimes people are a pain.
the whole situation got my adrenalin flowing. for hours afterwards, i was still hyped. and despite wanting to go to bed early i couldn’t sleep. the whole scene just kept rolling and rolling in my head.
i decided to volunteer for first responder at work. this is not a situation i want anyone to be in again. anyone with cut wounds or whatever pain needs someone acting fast, calm, and someone who knows what they are doing.
if you would be at a loss, go take a first aid/cpr class! it’s worth your time, trust me.
today was rather calm compared to this excitement. i’m waiting for my glasses to be done so i can pick them up and look all snazzy
