The bathrooms are awsome. Truly a top-tier travel bathroom. Clean, lights over the rooms to show which toilets are free, actual rooms instead of stalls, giant baby changing areas, just very well designed. But the walk to those lovely facilities is hell for anyone with sensory sensitivities.

When a Buc-ees is busy, which is basically always, the vibe is like a Wal-mart and a high school football game had a baby that grew up to be a crowded gigantic truck stop.

I saw one once where the attic had a layer of the Styrofoam trays meat is packed in at the supermarket. Thank God they were at least rinsed before they were repurposed.

Still depends on the Mennonite. I knew a young woman matching that description who was happily married to a guy that was part of the road crew for wrestling shows.

Friday was my in-person "pastry and shared pain" session with my state colleagues, and it really is a necessary part of community building. We had scones, muffins, and Danish and commiserated.

I would not say it's definitely the very last. Odds are fairly good they will try to get you to come back to teach a class at some point.

Definitely a sign to turn it over and smack it against the desk a few times. Having a second keyboard plugged in to get a second opinion does not hurt either. We used to have a shared desk with 2 keyboards, and it was a Good Thing.

If you notice PubMed behaving in unexpected ways, please let #medlibs know. It's been squirrely lately and the health science library crew is keeping a close eye on it.
