I got a new job in a nutrition laboratory. The job was not what I expected because there is a lot of manual labor involved, especially working in an assembly line with people who don’t speak your language. The closest to science in this place is the process where they take ingridients and mix them using a huge machine. What I do is not very significant: I put powders from a big sack into the jugs. Note: To all you who wonder why the scoop is so hard to find in the jar of powder, it is cause I buried it there out of spite. I smell like those powders when I get home. I’m sticky with sweat and the floating powder in the air attaches to my sticky face, giving the impression of a bronzed tan. Except it is Omninutrition’s Thermo-Tea.
And my nose is stopped up by the end of the day like a pornstar tried to suck a golf-ball through a garden hose, except that she died and there was no one left to finish the job. But it is usually much better with a bigger dust mask and a different product.
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed my story, and you people of Biotest, if you have any tips for me on getting transferred to deskwork, I would appreciate it very much!
3/23/05 Made Creatine Monohydrate today for 5 hrs straight. Wonder what long term effects of creatine powder inhalation are. Will find out in the long run.
If you meant it to be funny, then yea, it was funny.
However, if you meant what you were saying and really don’t like the job, why don’t you quit? If you are really burying the scoop deep in the jar “out of spite” then you have a problem.
I mean…what else is he doing to the supplements “out of spite?” YIKES…I watched “Fight Club”…lol

Yeah, it was meant to be funny. The job is good money temporarily, money I need badly. I post this stuff at the end of the day to mainly vent and find a way to give myself therapy. Quitting is always an option, but it’s better done when I get another job offer that is better. I’m always on the lookout.
Well, today was similar to yesterday, but with a twist. When I saw that the white powder of before was stickier and clumpier than usual, I knew this was not the regular creatine. My suspicions were confirmed when I saw a subtle difference in the label on a finished jar: instead of Crea-lean it read “Gluta-Lean”. So the powder was L-Glutamine. I swear, on any other day if I was sorting out white chalky powder with a bunch of hispanics, I would be actually on a vacation in Colombia, making an extra buck.
This thread just has me LMAO. I cant hel[p but think of that Chevy Chase flick. ( The title escapes me right now damn it) Where he is posessed and the gal pour demon powder around the bed and he sniffs the whole schabang like a big line. His whole damn face is cover.
I poicture you much the same only it’s creatine and protein powders.
Phill, I have no idea what movie it is, but you hit the nair right on the head.
Today I got some real big dirt on the place: I saw something that probably all manufacturers do that is quite deceptive!
To make a short story long, I saw the label on a big barrel of oil they were bottling, and the label indicated the following: REFINED, DEWAXED, BLEACHED and DEODORIZED.
I won’t say exactly what kind of oil it is, but it isn’t Flax.
The rub was in the label that was on the actual bottles intended for consumer use. I had a gut feeling that it would be what it was. I read the label thoroughly and got this out of it: “This oil is good for cooking, it’s good for you, etc.” Extra Virgin, Cold Processed-UNREFINED.
Ouch, total mislabeling of product and false advertising. I’m not gonna sugar-coat it, but putting “Unrefined” on products make its worth go up for some reason. I read Unrefined on all health oils at any vitamin store. Makes you wonder how many actually are. My bet is on 10%.
