Working on a space station

I was at a large space station.  It was very big and the main living area had couches and a glass ceiling and glass walls so people could look out at space.  I was brought along to do a special task but my supervisor did not want me there.  I had to find things to do to keep busy.  A group of us had to go to a part of the station that did not have any gravity to do some work.  We went through a large door like a safe door.  Inside was ladders and walkways.  I was floating and had to hold on to the ladders to keep from floating away.  I tried to spin somersaults but the space was too crowded and I kept bumping into things.  I noticed it was very cold in this part of the station and all the other people were wearing sweatshirts with hoods to keep them warm.

I was working with some people on the front of a computer.  The computer was on a raised floor and was very cold.  Somebody suggested we put carpeting down on the floor to keep the cold out. 

Back in the main living area I was working on a computer that had a problem.  It was a large computer and the problem was the fans would not shut off.  There were two switches that controlled the fans but I could not come up with the right combination to shut the fans down.

It cam time for my supervisor to leave the space station.  I was very glad to see him leave.  When he left the captain of the space station maneuvered the space station to get to a higher altitude.  He dipped one side down very sharply and I was afraid.

After we got settled again people were working all over the station.  Most were underneath desks and cabinets like a mechanic underneath an automobile.  I had to put food away in the freezer.  I noticed there was a lot of meat that was not in the freezer and just sitting on top of the freezer.  It was still cold so I put it back in the freezer.  Some of the meat was pepperoni slices.
