This wording is amusing because it sounds like you're looking for someone on this site to take some blood off your hands.
Good on you for donating though; there's a constant need. There is no replacement for blood we can manufacture so a surprising chunk of medical care depends on crowdsourced blood products (blood, red blood cells, plasma, etc)
Thank you, Also, PSA, check your blood type because if you are O-, not only is your blood type rare(3% of the world's population), you can only accept blood from other O- people
O- isn't even the rarest blood type, B- is only 1% but they can accept blood from more than one blood groups(-B-, O-). So you should think of banking your blood overtime in case of an emergency.
Also Also, O+ is 50% of the worlds population, and can be accepted by many blood groups(A+,B+,AB+,O+), so consider donating blood if you fall in that group(or really, if you aren't, its costs you very little and your body relishs it in less than 2 weeks).
Edit: linked the wrong article. Wanted to like the article that talks about blood group distributions in the world buy couldn't find it.

Outside, before my shift, overcast at about 12C, finishing a smoke and a coffee to the caw of fighting crows and magpies. A peaceful start to the day.

I’m at The Office (tm) minding the phone while my bosses are out on a sales call.

Made pasta in vodka sauce. It was nice. The tomatoes are growing. The fungus is kept at bay with spraying. I'm tired and aching. Stupid human body.
