October 16th

The day began with a dinner conversation on the intensity of the local dodge-ball league. I spent the evening janitoring the mailroom and two office buildings, one of which is named 'Dilbert Zone' because the entire building is filled with little cubicles.

The weather was fantastic over night, the best I've seen down here thus far. I took trash out to the dumpster wearing only a long sleeve t-shirt and jeans. Like yesterday, we had all of the work done before the day ended and were thus forced to clean things that were not necessarily dirty. I spent an hour hand-scrubbing steps that looked no cleaner after I finished. Better than having too much work, I presume.

The Rugby team is starting to recruit heavily for the Antarctic US vs. New Zealand annual rugby game on the ice, the game happens in January. Rumor is New Zealand always wins.
