Taking a shower in approximately four seconds. By Marko Suchy

   

    Yesterday was my first shower here at keeners, it wasn't the best experience to say the least. There is a long line when it comes to showers here at the whitehouse, usually someone calls first shower at the takeout spot, but the shower line generally disintegrates by the time we get back home. It's hard to find the time to take a shower between all the meetings at the thunderdome, the paddling, and all the other people trying to squeeze in a shower before dinner or bed.When the opportunity to take a shower presents itself to you, you need to pounce, you need to be aggressive, otherwise someone will steal your thunder, and maybe your soap. So let's say you've made you claim and taken a stand for yourself, now you have a spot in the shower. Once in the shower, you have to do a little shimmy of sorts to get close enough to the wall to catch what little water the shower head does produce and wash yourself. you'll have hot water for about four seconds, so you better make good use of it. Now it's time to really show the shower what you're made of, you can choose either to wash yourself as fast as possible and just accept that it may not have been the most thorough wash, or you can endure through the frigid pain and clean yourself very well. once you've raced the water, you wrap your towel around yourself and try to clean up the shower as much as possible so no one can pin the shower being dirty on you. This is a shower in the life of a keener(for those who decide to take them)  even though it may not be the most pleasurable experience, it is a very important routine and without it, many keeners would smell atrocious
