I can't say I have something as useful as O-, but at least I can still do Power Red donos... though I forget if I'm A or B negative.

You have to be A- or O- to do power red.

It's a requirement at Red Cross but it's just a recommendation at Vitalent- anyone can do anything but they have "ideal" donation types for each blood type.
