The Second Law of Thermodynamics isn’t just knocking, it’s kicked back at the dinette, wearing my socks and polishing off my last Dr Pepper. :D
Side note: I met Mr. and Mrs. Squid while wandering aimlessly through the lobby. Apparently, my sleepless eyes and lost expression make me easy to spot. They're full-timers, here for repairs on their beautiful New Aire. Truth be told, they’re technically homeless too, which now makes the competition at the shop’s coffee machine a little stiffer.

That said, Mrs. Squid, "Elizabeth", to those of us in the caffeine underground, took pity on me and brought a replacement for my stolen Dr. Pepper. A rare act of kindness in these mean lobby streets.

Thank you, @MrsSquid !

As a fellow full timer we prefer to refer to it as “houseless” 😎
 
Day Four:

Alarm? Let’s not pretend. I woke up when the sun dared peek through the blackout shades, somewhere between the “I’m late” but before the “Oh crap, he’s here” stage. Didn’t have time for a shower, deodorant and optimism are doing the heavy lifting today. Towel from yesterday is still in the corner, gaining character.

Paper plates are gone. I’m now eating directly over the trash can like a wild animal with good manners. Coffee? Discovered the tech lounge has free refills if you keep walking in like you belong. Keurig’s on strike. Might be unionizing.

Coach was sort of aired up, slides mostly in, and I think I disconnected the shore power… or someone did. Either way, the tech showed up, gave me a look that said, “Yep, Day Four,” and went to work without questions.

I nodded. He nodded. We’re past words now. This is what bonding looks like.
 
OMG… I’m in tears laughing!!!

I used to own a 24/7 manufacturer and when I did the tours of Newmar and Entegra I was blown away when the factory’s were deserted at 2pm. I just can’t imagine how they can have all of that overhead and shutter it for 16hrs each day. Wouldn’t some of them like to work their farms in the morning and come in to the plant at 1:30 to transition the day shift into second shift? Even if it was a short 4 or 5 hour shift so they could be home for a family dinner
