I like that girl, the medical technician. 
It took her one poke to get blood from my arm. Not two or three but one only! She patiently and meticulously examined both my arms before deciding which arm she will stick the needle. 
Now I will plan my meal.
What is your lunch/dinner?
I will have my brunch in a while.12 people like this

Shouldn't that be the norm? One poke and done! It should only take multiple tries if your veins are really hard to find—otherwise, missing the vein makes you look incompetent. I don’t even let them choose where to stick the needle. I tell them. I have a vein that’s so visible, there’s no way to miss it. If they do, that’s on them lol.

I have "rolling veins" in my arms. The veins moved away from the needles when a nurse tried to take blood from me. Nurses always dug around inside my arms because they aren't allowed to poke you a second time if they didn't hit the vein. I learned to jerk my arm away from a nurse that was trying to dig around in my arms. Then the nurse is just out of luck and can't try again unless I allow it. I don't like being hurt and told them to learn how to do the job and refused another try at it.

Yeah they have often said that my veins are thin and hard to find.

I never let a blood tech choose where they take blood. They always want to dig in my arms because the don't know how to do it. I make them take blood from the back of my right hand. The veins there stand up big and proud and the tech can't miss.
I just finished eating my lunch. I made hamburgers and French fries for lunch and put cheese and onions in my burger with ketchup. 
I dipped my fries in a mix of ketchup and mayo.

Same here! I never let them choose—I tell them where to stick the needle. I also have a vein that’s so visible, there’s no way to miss it. If they do, that’s on them. Not exactly skilled if that happens lol.
Your food sounds delicious! I’ve been craving a burger and fries lately too—it’s been a while since I last had some.
