Not a phlebotomist

The Embarrassment Villain strikes again! I was having blood drawn a few days ago and I was feeling very proud of myself because she only poked me once and everything was flowing smoothly. I started talking to the girl about how she became a phlebotomist and she was explaining how long she had gone to school, etc. when i started to get that familiar queasy feeling. Next thing I knew I was awoken from a very pleasant dream to find myself lying on the floor. Yep, I had passed out and slipped right out of my chair and landed on the floor. I just sat on the floor in a daze while the assistant cleaned up a few drops of my blood that had fallen in the process and she couldn't but help make a very obvious observation, "I don't think phlebotomy is for you." I do believe I am inclined to agree.
