Stars: 2
Review by: Mandy Apgar
Two things
that really annoy me are - irresponsibility and callousness. Sadly those
are two personality traits common amongst persons apparently found
running the Antarctic base station as well as managing
it. The managers don't surprise me - although to find that the national
science foundation takes away a shower curtain in a ladies room because
of an unlisted but apparently very important reason is a bit off. What
really ticks me off is all the work that I
know I've put into the sciences, and that friends have, and we will
never be as fortunate as some of the drunken schlubs that are able to
hop from shooting puppies (and finding it funny) to skipping down there.
One lady was hired because she drew penguins on
her resume. Seriously. The author is one of the grunts, a day to day
worker at the base, and he has his head on fairly straight, but some of
these other people you just want to punch and it really takes away from
the book.
