on the job humor

there are some things i hear at work which i just take as a matter of fact way because of the settings.. but when you take them out of context, then it's just plain hilarious and it's a real challenge to keep myself from bursting out!!

like this time i was discussing disciplinary issues with the assistant production manager about one of her staff members..
Her: "I have to push the team, even give an oral if need be, and you should do the same"
Me: (almost sniggering to self) "Yes definitely!"
of course, we were discussing an oral warning as opposed to a written one

or when you hear me in the morning saying..
Me: "End CIP, run flush and start Line 4 on half Splashes for six thousand, run color label on old Krones and fighter-pack through Kayat with registered film, 42-stack on a GMA pallet then changeover to Hicone shell on the Hartness, both on the 920"
it's nothing to be jaw-dropped about, it's just informing someone about the day's start up schedule

i like factory lingo and atmosphere, it's very relaxing to work in an atmosphere where your boss says to you "The damned Kister discharge shit the bed last night.." and you reply "That's fucked up!" and no one bats an eyelid!
