One of the most amazing and strange coincidences at the ol' milk factory involves the milk lines themselves.
Every time, and I mean every single time the milk line is expected to start up or go on a flavor change, it will do so when the lab tech was planning on going to lunch. It's uncanny. It does not matter if it's first, second or third shift. It does not matter if you are trying to head out for an early meal so you can get back in time or if you're trying to squeeze your break in late in the shift once everything else is done. Whatever time of day it is, when you are planning on walking out the door, the processor will walk in with a sample for you.
Ex: it is 0050. I am in ESL. It has been down since an hour before our shift started, about 1700. MH says, "can you go to lunch at 0145?" I say, "sure, unless milk starts up." At 0055, GP brings in my line fill. The line actually starts at 0153.
