We do have autopilot
Always fun to be running on it at work and in the middle of packing or something, have it randomly turn off cuz that's when I start messing up ahahaha

I know the autopilot feeling, but the stop-dead-and-stare-into-space-while-acutely-aware is a different level

i want to go autopilot for all the nonimportant stuff. including work. XD

I do autopilot at work. A lot. Lots of repetition, barring breaks, and even running breaks has repetition lol
Back when we had three shifts so we had overlap with our lead, sometimes he'd ask me something and he'd have to wait for me to do one of three things
1. Register that he's talking to me
2. Register what he's saying
3. How Do Word

And yes he's gotten all three. But not all together, thankfully
And no I haven't gotten in trouble for any of them, many of us who do work there (and more i can access who used to work there) are well aware that there are days where he's on autopilot

I think i’ll…mindlessly stamp bags today. XD

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA before I was in this position, i was on the lines, and the machine me and another were on broke
Now, technically as linesfolk we were supposed to help with breaks after the move, but no one changed anything for us. Only one break left plus Saturday mandate shift
So someone had used the wrong o-ring on the one bagger job, so we were set to open the bags, change out the o-rings, and then use the hand sealer to reseal them
So the guy who gave us that to do was on break, and my coworker joked that when said guy came back, that he was gonna act like he'd been stamping the bags
Oooooh the panic that poor guy had XD
We were laughing our asses off and he was so relieved to find out that no, stamping didn't ever actually occur

i've worked on a line before.......8u its pretty boring monotonous work. xD

It is
Unless there's a bottle in the mold, a plate in the mold breaks, the doors derail, plastic starts changing colors, cycling stops, mass contamination (especially bad if there's metal involved), parts falling off, and that's just the trim part of the line
Packout generally has less chance of having breakdowns, barring the taper being dumb

I used to work a line where we filled buckets and smaller containers of those dry rippable towels with the cleaning/sanitation liquid. And let me tell you, if you don’t pay attention, they’ll overflow…8u
And then you had to heat seal them too. And they were picky, if the seal was crooked or wrinkled, its back to heat sealing them again. 8u

Clean up on aisle……well lots of aisles. XD

Sprayers. For like fertilizer and pesticides and deck cleaners and the like
Tho the facility does have make metal ones too, I'm part of plastics

Back when we all had three shifts we were changing over, third was packing up to leave as people from first relieved them, and suddenly, fire alarms
Several people went to this one guy and asked him what he did this time, it was hilarious
He had that reputation. Said reputation, from what I've been told, includes two bottles on fire fresh from the machine
He had nothing to do with this one, something about changing silos
