Is it me, or do the Galactica engineers wear a suprising lack of personal protective equipment? No gloves or safety goggles in sight.

Yeah, indeed; going to work on a defective airlock, and not a single vacuum suit in sight
No OHSA on the Bucket I guess

Not normally (unless you're on a SciFi TV show/movie and wearing a redshirt).
Right now, they're in a section that's been half-repaired from a Cylon attack a full year back (see Seelix's comment about a year-old lunch). Of course the temporary seals have a chance of breaking.

Me: Nope, that's why I have you around to tell me.
Nitram: You -are- beautiful. Anyone tries to tell you otherwise kill them.

The OSHA thing is obscenely funny to me, since I actually have an entire class dedicated to OSHA regs and safety equipment and procedure this semester. Now I'm starting to *gasp* at unsafe work practices on the floor.
And it looks like Roslin and Adama are that much closer to the big hook-up.

Is it just me or are the weird Baltar-esque bits with Adama's ex wearing thin? We get it, they didn't have a great relationship. Nobody on this show does.
For the glory of Gondor, I sack this here concession stand!

I feel your pain....

*Sigh* it's turning into TNG, it is. Did they spend so much money on CGI that they ran out of cash for such expensive things like pressure suits? Next we know the pilots will be exchanging their helmets and body armor for pajamas, I suspect.

What gets me is that it actually only costs like a few bucks to buy a pair of work gloves and safety goggles. They could easily afford to buy a few dozen for use as props in the show.

I actually like the idea of him having a conversation with his (dead)wife on their anniversery. Hell, I stop and try to ask myself "what would my dad have done?" in many situations, and his birthday and deathday always have me wondering what he'd have thought of Nitram, of my job with the state, of every little decision I've made.
Like Adama, I didn't get to say goodbye. So... I try to bring a little of him back, occassionally. But it's rather hard to climb in Dad's lap anymore

Still makes no sense that they didn't have pressure suits. Even if they didn't wear them in there, having an emergency set in teh airlock just makes sense.
I guess just like jefferies tubes, they aren't there for plot purposes. I for one think that is BS.
