I went to work yesterday feeling tired and thought I might be coming down with a cold. After my shift I headed back to the dorm to rest, which I spent the rest of the day doing. I’m feeling much better today and hopefully it was just a feeling and not really the beginnings of a cold. After dinner a group of us played some cribbage and listened in on the in briefing for some new “beakers” (scientists) who just arrived on the C-17 for the extended season. None of them had ever been to the ice before. One of the guys I had breakfast with said he ran into one of them in the bathroom this morning. He said “where are the towels?” we thought that was kind of funny. I guess his bed wasn’t made up last night either. What kind of hotel is this anyway?
