My room in the Jamesway

While floor level is certainly cold, it's comfortable at bed level for sleeping.

I share this building with 3-6 other people -- I'm not exactly sure how many, because we're all on different shifts and don't really interact. I'm on "satellite" shift (I work mostly during the 12 hours when the satellites are visible), and I know at least a couple of other residents are on day shift, because I've been woken up a couple of times by people banging around during the day.

Here's the Jamesway building which I visit occasionally when I'm not working. I haven't taken a picture of my "room" because I'm not sure who is asleep in there at any given time. I'll probably grab a picture of that in a couple of weeks when most of the people have cleared out ... there's a strong possibility that I'll be on literally the last plane out of the Pole, so I may have these luxurious digs all to myself!
