sticky

I freely admit that I am clumsy. I drop things, I spill things, I trip over my own feet - I am almost entirely lacking anything that could possibly be called grace.

Island Oasis is one of the thickest, stickiest products we run. It is packaged on the 'bag-in-a-box' filler, which is exactly what it sounds like. The product come off line in these 2 or 2.5 gallon slippery metallic bags. The lab tech must take a big, heavy bag of liquid back to the lab, cut open a corner and pour it into comically over-sized graduated cylinders to measure the volume.

I was running bag-in-a-box all night.

I didn't spill a goddamn drop of the crap.

Instead, I managed to wrangle 2 gallon bags all night without problem, but dropped a 250ml pak of Enlive with the top cut open while moving it from four inches away from the sink to the sink - all over myself and the floor.
