Hello.

Done anything fun today?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Thu 11 Nov 2010, 22:59, Reply)

The usual routine of chemicals, machinery and paperwork.
No, not really.

doesn't sound fascinating
but I could be wrong

There's something deeply satisfying about turning water, powder, wax and grease into shelf-ready cosmetics.

( The Mock TurtIe ™ --- Thinks you are a cunt, on, Thu 11 Nov 2010, 23:07, Reply)

which cosmetics do you make?
Or is it just the same thing in ten different containers?
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Thu 11 Nov 2010, 23:16, Reply)

Quite a few different types, both purely decorative and toiletries.
As I work for a contract manufacturer, we make everything from the big names to cheap rubbish; the complexity of the formulations and the difference in quality is similarly variable, but the difference in manufacturing cost is nowhere near as great as the difference in retail price.
( The Mock TurtIe ™ --- Thinks you are a cunt, on, Thu 11 Nov 2010, 23:20, Reply)

I begrudge paying money
for cosmetics in general. But I generally find the variation in certain products enough to justify the extra money
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Thu 11 Nov 2010, 23:28, Reply)

As with everything, the best performance/price balance is somewhere in the middle.

Get rid of the machinery and paperwork and you could be Monty.
What machinery do you get to use during the day?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Thu 11 Nov 2010, 23:06, Reply)

Mixing vessels with built-in weighing scales and emulsifiers, the bulk liquid delivery system for these vessels, washout programmes for production lines, the pigging system for static storage tanks, and hand-pulled trucks and forklifts.
Plus a computer database for updating the warehouse stock list and the production schedule as necessary.
( The Mock TurtIe ™ --- Thinks you are a cunt, on, Thu 11 Nov 2010, 23:10, Reply)

And in layman's terms?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Thu 11 Nov 2010, 23:11, Reply)

Mixing chemicals together on a large (200kg - 10 ton) scale, cleaning out the vessels, tanks and lines, moving the ingredients from storage onto the plant, and logging my workload.
Oh, and testing other people's batches to make sure they're OK to go out to the customer before they get filled.

How has your day been Dozer?
Any C.V progress?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Thu 11 Nov 2010, 23:02, Reply)

My CV is still in the third person.
Listening to some hip hop.
(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Thu 11 Nov 2010, 23:08, Reply)

I don't think i've seen a C.V written in the 3rd person.
How have you worded things? (Obviously in the 3rd person, but I'd be interested in a few ideas, just in case I need to provide similar at anypoint).
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Thu 11 Nov 2010, 23:10, Reply)

It goes a little something like this...
Dozer's successes in this role were his unerring suaveness, his award-winning cheekbones and his ability to make chicks foam on sight. His key skills were utilised through his management of a difficult project to sneak in references to KRS One at every opportunity.

In his spare time he plots ways to avoid his celebrity stalkers.

Thanks.
That gives me some ideas. I not sure I'll be going down the 3rd person route, but there might be some elements I can adopt.

Have this for starters. Mid 90s classic on Mo Wax.

You may have been victim of a cruel prank.

Why did you snooze? Tired or drunk?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Thu 11 Nov 2010, 23:07, Reply)

I don't remember
one moment I was reading about the Pro Murena, the next I woke up half an hour later curled up asleep on the floor
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Thu 11 Nov 2010, 23:14, Reply)

Do you feel better for it?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Thu 11 Nov 2010, 23:18, Reply)

sort of
just worried about why I don't remember finding a cushion, rifling through my coats to find the big one and making myself a cup of hot lemon squash, rather than drag myself the eight metres to my bedroom
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Thu 11 Nov 2010, 23:20, Reply)

I'd not worry at all.
Quite natural!
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Thu 11 Nov 2010, 23:23, Reply)

I do feel more rested
and occasionally if I've been denied sleep, then after a week or two I will just drop in my tracks and catch up on it in a concentrated six or seven hour block. I'm just surprised because if it was that, I'd have expected to sleep through the night
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Thu 11 Nov 2010, 23:30, Reply)

Stay up a bit later
Then have a hot milky drink and go to bed!

You can use one in a sawing motion to dry hard to reach areas after a shower.

( Sir Sand GOBLIN ^popular page dis, Thu 11 Nov 2010, 23:10, Reply)

it's quite nice to go for a walk
(and by extrapolation a run) at four in the morning
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Thu 11 Nov 2010, 23:15, Reply)

the best runs are when the sun either comes up or goes down
during the run, you know, to be running in light and it to go completely to dark by the end, or the other way around. that is the best.

You in training for something or do you just like running?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Thu 11 Nov 2010, 23:15, Reply)

i just like running,
although usually i am in training for something, nothing at the moment although i'll probably do the cardiff half marathon next year, maybe the odd 10k race here and there. and by here and there i mean cardiff and derby, possibly.
( Sir Sand GOBLIN ^popular page dis, Thu 11 Nov 2010, 23:24, Reply)

I've never appreciated the joy of running on a regular basis as an adult.
How far does the average run take you?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Thu 11 Nov 2010, 23:26, Reply)

depends, sometimes i do two miles for speed,
sometimes up to maybe ten miles, for distance.
note: i am not that fast yet.
( Sir Sand GOBLIN ^popular page dis, Thu 11 Nov 2010, 23:29, Reply)

10 miles would kill me!
How long did it take you to build up to that sort of distance?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Thu 11 Nov 2010, 23:31, Reply)

a couple of months i guess,
it is all flat around here though, i'm not so good with hilly bits.
