What if I can't have a sink (in my darkroom)?

I'm renting a duplex with a basement, so I can't make any permanent changes to build a darkroom. I've got almost everything figured out, I'm going to use blackout curtains to set up a darkroom in the corner of the basement, I have a solid folding table that I'm going to set everything up on, and I even acquired a decent second hand enlarger

The one thing I can't figure out, though, is how do I wash my prints if I can't build a sink into my darkroom? is it enough to just have a small tub of water to wash the prints in? What's required to fully wash a print once it's finished developing?

Talking to my current employer about working in Antarctica

I have an alternate contract for a vehicle operator position at McMurdo, and I'm nearly done with the PQ and EBI process. I like my current job, and I'd like to come back to it after working a four month shift in Antarctica this upcoming summer season. They generally like me here and I work in a somewhat niche specialized position with one other person (who has said he's ok with me leaving for four months, October to January isn't super busy)

I want to ask my current employer if I could take a four month leave of absence starting in October to go work in Antarctica and come back to my current job, which I know is a huge ask and I shouldn't count on them saying yes. A lot of other people who I've talked to informally (both at this job and not) think I stand a good chance of being able to come back to my job, but I have my doubts. Have you or anyone else you know had luck with keeping their non-Antarctica job and being allowed a leave of absence? What should I say to my supervisor when I eventually ask about this?

Next level of EBI is asking for information I don't know how to get

I submitted what I thought was everything for EBI and got fingerprinted, but now I've been sent another email asking for more information. It's being requested by the "Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency". The main problem is that they're asking for the names, phone numbers, and addresses of my previous supervisors and I'm not sure how to go about doing that.

"Please provide all information for each employment Supervisor to include: Name/Address/Phone Number.  DO NOT mark the box indicating “supervisor information same as employer”."

I just tried to email one of my previous supervisors and I got a response that the email is no longer valid. What do I do if I can't find this information?
