@LALawnWarrior@shauritacodes A room that 1) has to be accessible during working hours of the person needing it, 2) lockable, 3) not a bathroom or closet otherwise used for something that can be harmful based on exposure.
You clearly have no idea what DEI is really for, do you?
@LALawnWarrior@shauritacodes DEI offices actually impact beyond your assumptions. While in grad school I used our DEI office for a safe place to use a breast pump after my son was born. Any gap in normal recommendations can become a DEI office issue.

@cenewman0 Been on this struggle bus for years now 🤣 Edgar’s is decent, and we had the exact same praline conversation. I have YET to find a raspberry cream cheese one and I’m debating having it shipped.
@DeathCab4Callie Call the office. Let them know what happened. Likely, if you want to be seen you can do a sick visit. Our ped also offers where they’ll do the well check portion minus shots (generally towards the end of illness) and then do a shot appointment a week after symptoms have calmed.
