8 hour lay-over in Madrid airport, any suggestions?

Yeah, good luck

So are you Dr VJ now?

[VJ]

Sorry, saw this just now...
I've been Dr VJ for some time already... Currently considering habilitation (still a thing here in Poland, not sure how it translates to English), but I need a few more publications I think. This year was quite good, with an article in the highest rated journal in my field (IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy Systems), and a second one for which I'm awaiting the review comments (in the second highest journal). Another manuscript is finished, but I need to figure out to which journal to send it and a fourth article is halfway written. I'd like to submit those two still before December, to have that finished before venturing to Compostela (still not news on that though, but it gives a nice reachable but solid deadline ).

Ok, still a bit and ... but I got it. Early next year I move to the other side of Europe for two years...

It puts a bit tighter deadline on all the articles I still want to submit (and I added one to the list, on invitation) and to my own surprise I was quite shocked when I got the news. A bit this mixed "ok... what did I do..." feeling.

But it should be interesting and fun.
