Highlights from this day
- third_shift — update from 9 months ago: switched to a fixed rotation and the site reactions stopped 23:11
- third_shift — a proper sharps bin costs almost nothing and pharmacies will take it back 23:14
- swab_dry_first — quick one absorption differences between subcutaneous sites are small for a weekly compound 90 degrees works fine if you have the tissue for it. 45 if you do not 23:36
- VialBot — Purity check: no report on file for lot SG-1177. Nothing logged either way. 23:38
- swab_dry_first — pinch, 45 degrees, count to five, withdraw slowly. two years and almost no bruising let the alcohol dry. that is ninety percent of "my injections sting" 23:39
