The bunks (or berths) in the dorm rooms and some parts of the station, particularly any maintenance rooms/service corridors etc are based on the design of large ships like dredges and cargo ships. My family has quite a few members that work on ships, and some of my weirder childhood memories involve giant engine rooms and mess decks. I probably should have been awed more by it all, but what I remember from the time is being preoccupied with keeping my balance on a slippery metal deck, or the fear of losing a finger to some monstrous piece of machinery. Ships are both awesome and terrifying, much like space.
Greasy Space Monkeys is the adventures of two idiots in a dead end job on a run-down space station.
Occasional profanity and frequent absurdity.

Hi from the Airport
Posted 2018-04-25 by Reine
Hey all, sorry for the lack of updates the last few weeks. Preparing to go to the USA has been so hectic that I haven't had a day spare.
I'm writing this at Sydney International Airport. It's literally the first ten minutes I've had free this week. I've brought some files though, so I'm hoping in the downtime I have between Alaska and Seattle I'll be able to make an update. Thanks for being so patient this year , I appreciate it :)
I’m so nervous/excited/ possibly phasing into another plane of existence about this trip. So that's a thing.
Anyway, the best way to get little updates of what I'm up to is through twitter - @reinebrand Thank you all for the food suggestions, I may hurt myself but it'll be worth it ;)
