I was in the zone formerly known as pudding last night. The flavor had just changed to chocolate before my shift started. There was about eight hours worth of chocolate pudding to run. (Incidentally, it ended three minutes before my shift did.)
At the beginning of any run, the lab tech is required to sign off on a list of items (the product looks right, the case code is correct, the solids are good, the cups weigh the right amount, etc) and deliver that sheet to the person operating the pudding line.
Often, someone will call looking for the start-up sheet two minutes after they start, when the beginning samples are still sitting there and they can actually see that the lab tech has not gotten samples yet, let alone finished testing them.
Other times, the lab tech (i.e. moi) brings the start-up sheet down halfway through the run and hands it to the operator, who looks from the sheet to me as if I am trying to hand her an enormous spider. Or at least an uncapped needle. Essentially, looking at me as if I am crazy, she has no idea why I want her to have this thing, and she really wishes I would just disappear.
Guess which one happened last night?
