at least last semester and last year for sure, many of the bathrooms around campus (anderson, gladfelter, alter, library, probably more if not all buildings) used to use a soap that smells of eucalyptus. mid last semester i noticed them slowly going away in exchange for a more standard floral soap. i cannot say that either cleans the hands better, however the eucalyptus one undeniably has better smell right after/during washing AND 1-2 hours later. the floral one seems ok at the first stage but i think the more time away from the wash session, the more the hands just smell like the brown paper towels with slight soap notes. perhaps i am biased since i love the scent of eucalyptus but i can't imagine anyone thinking the floral is the better soap, unless the issue is money (i won't play dumb, i know how it is and this is how it is). of course temple wants to save money wherever they can but why the soaps? if we were using it before, surely it's not that expensive, right? how can you ignore the positive side effects of a good smelling soap when mere cents per gallon is the issue? do administrators not use the same bathrooms as us? anyway i just wanted to state my position on the matter semi-anonymously because i definitely don't need the irl backlash right now. i'd love to hear other thoughts if you have any

I aced my first two rounds (technical and behavioral) and was invited to an onsite interview.

During the onsite, I completely bombed the first technical round. Barely wrote any working code, but was able to talk through some possible solutions which interviewer was okay with but did not get the solution they wanted. However, I think I did okay in the second technical- I wrote working code that the interviewer seemed satisfied with, although they did point out that I had missed one or two edge cases, but nothing crazy of the sort. We did discuss those edge cases and everything we wanted to implement.

There was a lot of back-and-forth between the interviewer and me for the second round, and we seemed to be on the same page regarding the overall approach and implementation which I think is a plus.

Given that I did well in the initial rounds prior to the onsite, but then bombed one onsite technical, and did reasonably well in the other, what do you think my chances are? I think i've accepted the fact I may not get an offer.
