Son of a Bee

I walked into my office today and got stung on the hand by a wasp that had caught a ride in my hair. Wow that hurt.

The security guy in our building called the EMT that my company has on staff. (Hooray for the company deciding to have a 90 second emergency response). He was very nice and gave me ice packs. He interviewed me for a while so we could see whether I was allergic, since I've never been stung by a wasp before. It turns out I'm not.

The only fun part was his look of awe when he took my pulse and BP.  Pulse: 68   BP:116/78

I now return myself to my regularly scheduled work day.

WOW! I'm glad you're okay!

Well, not being allergic is good ... yuck. I don't understand the BP scores, but I know mine are not where they once were. Sigh. (Too high ... before I started teaching, so it's not the new job.)

You are an island?

Ouch. Bad wasp!
