Occasionals
These cooking shifts may occasionally be offered for sale, pending workshift availability. If all the cooking team slots are bought, we have some extra good times!
It's a good idea to sign up for these shifts with a group, because if every team slot isn't bought, it doesn't happen.

Extropy
Entropy is a measure of the disorder in a system. The 2nd law of Thermodynamics states that entropy always increases.
Extropy is a measure of order in a system. Here at HiP we tell the laws of physics to sit down and shut up by assigning workshifts to increase order.
These are "putting stuff in order" shifts. Therapeutic to anal-retentive types.
