How I got the swine flu vaccine
Yes it's true, I received the swine flu vaccine yesterday. And it was full of delicious toxins. Today my arm is sore, I'm feeling a bit meh and my sugars are a bit higher than normal. Clearly I'm going to drop dead any minute now.
I didn't really plan on getting the vaccine, because for some reasons it's delivered in dosages for ten people and once you open a bottle you have to use it all in the next 24h. So getting the vaccine involves planning and setting dates. You can't just walk in, get your shot and then walk out again like you normally would. Annoying.
On top of it, I wasn't even home the last two days. I was in Frankonia in the middle of absolutely nowhere to get some measurements done for my PhD on a machine we don't have here. And while we're sitting in front of the machine (a Cryo-Scanning Electron Microscope that operates at -170°C, btw. Very, very, cool. *see what I did there?*) the boss of the lab walks in.
Me: *busily pouring over pictures of my cement*
Boss: Hey, do you want the swine flu vaccine.
Me: Huh?
Very nice and patient lab technician a.k.a. Lord of the Cryo: *rolls eyes*
Boss: The swine flu vaccine. Do you want it?
Me: Uhh...yes?
Boss: Great, you can meet the doctor tomorrow morning. Two people said they couldn't make it and 'Very nice and patient lab technician a.k.a. Lord of the Cryo'' is getting his tomorrow, so you can go together. Btw, the doctor is my wife and I have to go now, bye.
Boss: *leaves in a hurry, phone glued to his ear*
Me: Wtf, did just happen?
Lord of the Cryo: Yeah, he did the same to me. I didn't really want the vaccine, he just went ahead and made the appointment anyway. I'll meet you tomorrow at 8 a.m.
