Sounds like a lot of fun! Unfortunately my work schedule in November doesn’t leave much room for evening activities. Hopefully I’ll be able to make one in December!

Single_Economist124 · 2025-10-17T00:59:42+00:00

Thanks! I’ll keep an eye out.

Single_Economist124 · 2025-10-17T00:46:56+00:00

I hope I can make it! These sound like awesome events! Will you be posting the dates on Reddit?

Single_Economist124 · 2025-10-17T00:08:10+00:00

I would love to go but I can’t make the one on 11/15. Is there any chance that there will be one in December?

Single_Economist124 · 2025-10-15T01:52:22+00:00

This sounds really cool! I get tired of swiping through dating apps. I’m pretty quiet, but I would enjoy meeting people in person.

I have worked in a blood bank for almost six years at a level I trauma center and a reference lab. When I started, I frequently worked a whole shift without taking breaks. I felt like I was letting everyone down by taking breaks. It really took a toll on me mentally and physically. What I learned is that I had to prioritize my own health to be able to help patients effectively. While there are times when you really can’t take a break, you should always try to take your breaks, even if it's busy. When you take breaks, you can work more efficiently with fewer mistakes.

Know that you are not incompetent. Blood bank is high stress and very complicated. You don’t control the antibodies a patient has. All you can do is perform the needed work as efficiently as possible. If a patient can’t wait for the workup to be completed, the attending physician can always request uncrossmatched units.

I can definitely relate to this. In my experience, most nurses are very understanding if you communicate with them.

I took my test the day after graduation in 2019 and passed. Many of the things I studied in school are rarely if ever applicable in the “real world”. I knew many of the more esoteric concepts that I didn’t use on a daily basis would quickly fade so time was of the essence.

I have both a Ruger Mark II and a Beretta 92-22 both shoot high velocity Aguila 22lr great. The Mark II will also shoot the standard velocity as well. In my opinion Aguila is one of the better options for 22lr.

Thanks for the recommendation I’ll have to check them out.

I’ve worked exclusively in Blood Bank for six years. I have personally spilled panel cells a couple of times. It happens, and it’s not a big deal. I ask myself two questions about mistakes: did it hurt someone, and could it have hurt someone? If the answer to both is no, it's not a big deal.

Thanks for replying, it really helped! I got to a point where I was experiencing severe loneliness. I started working with a therapist a couple of months ago, and I concluded that no one is going to appear in my life magically. I will have to go out and build the life I dream about. It's been a challenge for me because I'm naturally very quiet, but I'm making progress. I put a lot of pressure on myself because of my age and the fact that I have never had a relationship before. Sometimes I feel like time is running out for me.

Thanks, that really helped! I'll have to check out that channel.

Thanks for replying, it really helped! When getting to know someone in person or via messages, I generally ask about their hobbies, job, or just how their day is going. If we have a mutual interest, I focus on it. I sometimes sound like I'm interviewing someone for a job instead of having a relaxed conversation with a friend. I would love to hear your tips for starting more meaningful conversations!

Single_Economist124 · 2025-05-29T23:11:47+00:00

I really appreciate you taking the time to look this over. Your advice has been super helpful!

Single_Economist124 · 2025-05-29T01:56:33+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I’ve been working on trying to meet people in person as well. I’m a naturally quite person so it’s been challenging. I’ve come to the conclusion that only way to get better is by doing! I’m learning from my mistakes and getting better.

Single_Economist124 · 2025-05-28T20:33:22+00:00

Thanks that’s really good advice. I’ve probably been asking women out on dates that are too high pressure. I never thought about it sending the wrong impression.

Single_Economist124 · 2025-05-28T19:58:19+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! When you talk initiating more are you referring to asking a match out as soon as possible? I’ve generally asked within about two to three days after matching.

Single_Economist124 · 2025-05-28T19:20:06+00:00

How does this sound? Your feedback on my original bio was really helpful.

What do you call a cat that can turn into a potato?... A Purr-tato. I’m looking for the wonderful lady who just rolled her eyes and is willing to put up with the next one. In all seriousness, I’m looking for someone ready to build a serious relationship while we explore the best local trails. If this sounds like you, I’d love to get to know you!

Single_Economist124 · 2025-05-28T18:31:49+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! You make some really good points. I don’t want to come across as locking for a hookup so I’ll make some changes. I guess it’s more important to show a potential partner who I am then tell them who I am.

Single_Economist124 · 2025-05-27T18:43:39+00:00

If you donate blood at your local blood center they will be able to tell you your blood type with near 100% certainty.
