The antechamber to the datacenter has a strong smell of sterilizing alcohol. My muscles tighten anticipating a needle being stuck in me, such is the strength of this association.
@SeventhMagpie It's crazy how strong it is, it's been a frequent thing for me the last two years (including this morning!) I should be used to it by now...
@sullybiker No shame in being human. I'd suggest a hug, but don't know how you'd feel about it. :)
@SeventhMagpie That's lovely and very kind.
@sullybiker So familiar! When I was a kid, I'd tighten so much that the needles would bend on a couple of occasions. 😂 This smell is still a strong association to this day.
