...laptops, Australian Red Cross

It’s quite loaded today as I deployed the Lenovo laptops to the staff, donated blood and fixed issues. I’m just glad everything went fine as things were falling into its places.

The laptops were fine. The users were pretty much happy with their new toy and it’s about time for them to play with it. The other group would still be waiting until next week as the MacBooks has just arrived this morning. As much as I would want them to have it, the prescribe image was not yet ready for installation.

I also went to the city with some students in the afternoon to donate blood at Australian Red Cross. It was great as it was my first time and never had some weird feeling during and after the event. I just went hungry as the refreshments at Australian Red Cross were not enough for me. The facilities were great as it was systematic. I could still remember the time where I almost had my blood donated through Philippine Red Cross. The venue was packed with donors as they ran out of bags. Everything was pretty much done on limited supply. Constricting bands were used instead of the pump I had on my arms and electronic devices were even used in indicating iron, etc. The convertible chair was also comfortable compared to the folding bed being used back home.

Well, it was a great experience as our blood will be used for people who need most. We can go back in 3 months time as people can technically donate blood every 3 months provided that they are healthy.

Hmmm…I hope to be back soon.
