M'kay, so I work in a cheese factory. There's a couple lines that I'm usually scheduled to work on - them being 42, 33, and 17. 42 is old and slow and has lots of problems, and that's the one I'm on the most. It kinda runs like this.



But 17 is the newest line and runs pretty fast.



I was on 17 tonight. The first two hours were unfortunate; something was wrong with the scale, so the whole line was down while the techs tried to fix it. Since we who were working on the line had no work, we had to do random things like check other lines for rejects to open, or take our trashes, or open up a whole pallet of boxes full of packages that had bad seals.



Then the electrician guy came and fixed our problem! Hooray! There was much joy! So happie we tossed papers in the air! Joy papers!



Well actually there were no joy papers. Because even though 17 is already capable of being the fastest-running line and it already has a huge record, I guess the Techs want to beat their own record because it was running fast. I mean really fast.



No even faster than that! It was going so fast it's almost impossible to check the package to make sure it's OK before it keeps going down the line and into the box packing machine! I mean so fast that even if you DO see something wrong with the package you don't even have the reflexes to grab the bad package before it's out of reach and up the conveyor belt. This is no normal speed, folks.


This is .
