I have the focus of a blind man...
So I mean to keep posting, at least as a personal thing...But it never seems to happen. I just let out random bursts of emotion in typed form and then walk away for months on end. Oh well, heres what I have to say this time...
On Sunday I was working at the help desk at around 1:30. It was a typical day, I had just set up my computer and answered a few tech questions so far. All of a sudden Pete Farina comes in and starts stumbling through the halls making strange noises. He was kind of half grunting, half laughing. He walked towards the wall and SLAMMED his head against it, then he flies backwards and SLAMS his head on another wall before falling over and starting to convulse. At this point several people run out of the labs and I realize, "Holy shit! This guy is having a seizure!" I ran over to him and tried to get his attention by talking to him, but he was unconscious. I yelled at a passing girl to call public safety. At this point, Pete is lying on his back and I notice blood dripping out of his mouth, so I roll him on his side and sit with him trying to keep anything in his mouth flowing out so he won't choke on it. I sat alone with him for a few minutes before public safety and EMTS showed up to take care of him. By the time they took him to the ambulance, he was conscious and showed no signs of a concussion.
...I don't think I've been that freaked out in a long time...
I mean I've been trained in this type of thing...Having been a lifeguard for years and taking many a first aid course I SHOULD have handled that fine...But I was so afraid I was going to do something wrong...and there really wasn't a ton I could do to help him... It made it worse that with the head injuries and the unconsciousness I feared he had a concussion...Just sitting alone with someone hoping that they're not going to die on you or something...It's not something I ever want to experience again if I can help it. Even being a lifeguard, I've only had to save someone once...and some would say I got lucky...
In happier news, the first meeting of the Anime Club went well. We had a great turnout and the new members some really cool. We're watching Outlaw Star this time around, I was pushing for Escaflowne to win but I can always watch that again on my own time. Aside from some technical issues I can clean up by next time, everything went off without a hitch.
Well it's kinda late and I hate ranting...I don't want to give the impression I have something important to say. :D
Lets shoot for once a week...maybe I can do that...this time...
