Because we live in such a controlled environment by necessity, we tend to get gravitate towards mealtimes.  This is also a symptom of being gradually institutionalized which I think is the fate of every single person who comes here.  I guess that's a small price to pay for the privilege of being here.  But there are signs of individuality.  You can see it here in how people choose what they drink.  Is it the baby juice, the mama juice, or papa juice today?  It can also be seen this way: will be orange juice (frozen concentrate- pretty real), pink lemonade (pretty lemony, but probably artificial), or orange flavored drink, or maybe orange-mango drink (totally, completely artificial, but technically superior!)?  But we try to have fun at dinner- check out one of the many fine Raytheon employees, Cargo Kelly!
