There are lots of long hours. If you run out of eggs, you can't go out to the store and get more. Excluding occasional fresh produce, all food is brought to the station by barge the year before. Another challenge is knowing you have to try and please approximately 1000 people at every meal. You have a captive audience.
Food is the key to morale at the stations.
Meal time is when people can relax with friends. For recreation, Jennifer would work out in the gym, and, on rare occasions, go running outside. Mostly I loved talking to people. It was a fun group of people. In her spare time she helped construct a cabin.
