Sorry little woosie… I clot fast, they had to use 4 different veins to draw blood for the test.
I hurt 
They used the veins on the inside of my elbows, and the bigger veins on the outside of my elbows so I have bainaids atng gauze all over the freaking place, not to mention the botched TB test location where she injected it too closeto the upper layer of skin and caused it to pop
DOh hit submit too fast!
It was actually pretty amusing… I ended up giving 7 filled tubes of blood, 9 30-45% full tubes and 3 with only 500 uL
And here I was thinking it was May flowers.
faints
Ouch.
And here I thought it was Walpurgisnacht! What? Didn’t everyone have a german grandmother??
What does any of that have to do with the end of April, CRorex? 
I thought you were going to be celebrating international communism in early May…
April 30, Koninginnedag. Everybody who’s ever been in Amsterdam on this date knows what I mean.
Which means I get on my bike first thing in the morning, and ride out of town. I don’t have to share this town with 1 million visitors every other day of the year. They can have tomorrow. 
Ha! In my lab, we just have to have a yearly TB test, unless we poke ourselves. Which I’ve done. (Still HIV free, knock on wood!!)
But TB tests aren’t bad. Kinda nerve-wracking, what with us being downwind from the TB lab, but not bad physically.
I’m afraid you’re already too late. A couple of hours ago I saw them coming in droves from Central Station, marching into the city like ever so much obedient worker ants. Wave after wave arrives without any sign of waning. By morning they’ll have taken the city, even up to and including the outer quarters such as yours. Best to stay inside and barricade the door. 
Trust me, I look pretty menacing in a helmet, and that bike makes a lot of noiseif I want it to. They’ll move out of the friggin’ way.
It means you’d better know what you are getting me for my birthday?
What? The rent’s due again?
C’mon, folks, everyone knows that April 30 is the last day until September 1 that we can eat oysters on the half-shell!

End of every April and beginning of ever November we do this
Twice a year.
Smeg Yeah we’ve got the primate colony and my co-worker is TB sera positive
I’m feeling MUCH better now… I have some juice in me and I ate food… Now my arms just hurt
I can run the streets naked without getting frostbite?
Free porn?
That old guy who smells funny will spend all day outside in the park instead of the library?
Pie?
It’s time to prepare birthday cards for my friends Brian, Eunice, Jen, and Danielle? (whose birthdays are all from May 2 to May 5)
It’s time to seriously think about going to the airport to pick up my sister (who’s coming from Toronto) on May 4?
F_X
My maternity leave starts tomorrow so I have less than one hour of work to go (before a long farewell lunch) and then I am FREE, FREE, FREE!
Until May 19th when I will have a small screaming infant to care for. 
For me it means my car’s tags expire and I have to get them renewed again.
Property taxes due.
Hooray, hooray! The first Day of May! Outdoor Fucking Starts Today!
