I pointed to the two offices on   
our right. “That’s where our two Super-
visors hang out,” I explained, and as  
we continued down the hall, “and that’s
where the rest of us hang out,” I said 
and pointed to the break room on our   
left.                                  
     "Looks boring," she said as we    
passed the long window where you could 
see inside.                            
     "I know, but the computers are    
fun," I said, pointing to the ones     
lined up against the wall, and then to 
the double doors at the end of the     
hall. "That's where the locker rooms   
are, and beyond that is the Vivarium." 
     "I always thought that name       
sounded like a drug," Beth giggled,    
"like someone mixed a Vicodin, and a   
Valium together and added a little     
* Varoom to turn it into a Vivarium."      
     "Ok, I have to admit, that's      
funny," I said, and we snickered.      
     After a couple seconds of that,   
Beth grabbed my arm.                   
     "Come on, let's go."              
     Up until that point, we’d been    
whispering for some reason. "Why are we
whispering?" I finally had to ask, in a
whisper.                               
     This got us snickering again.     
     I used my card to get us into the 
double doors that led into a short     
hallway. On the left and right, were   
the male and female locker rooms       
respectively.                          
     Outside the locker room doors was 
the staging area. It’s where we put on 
our booties and gloves.
