It's been a busy week this week at the biscuit factory where I work. We are putting some hours in, but at least we are making lots of lovely biscuits.
What really grinds my gears is the biscuit training course coming up next month. The powers that be have decided that we need to practice making biscuits, even though that's what we do all the time. So it seems we've got to move to another temporary factory miles away. We must go there for a few weeks and make some biscuits. However because it's a training course we're not going to make real biscuits we are just going to arse around making biscuits out of play doh, glitter and dog turds (just like the biscuits from Aldi) and then at the end we are going to chuck them all in the bin. I could understand if we pretended to make different biscuits maybe ginger nuts, but no we'll just make custard creams as usual, but only pretending obviously.
Meanwhile those people left back at the real factory have got to work even harder to make up for us losers on the course. So the real biscuit factory is not running as well as it should for a few weeks. I hope there isn't a sudden surge in the demand for custard creams or we will be knackered.

As a supervisor of one of the three main lines at the said biscuit factory I must agree with our head tasters comments.
I am luckily staying behind at the factory while he is on the course but due to the secrecy of the ingredients and recipe I am being wisked away from the production lines for a week to guard the factory from industrial spies.
Although the training will be away from the main factory and will involve producing dud biscuits I am sure our head taster will be taking the biscuit while there. After the course I am sure he will return to the factory with added vigor and plenty of fresh ideas as this will be a great corporate bonding exercise as well as a training course. If i am not mistaken you will even have special badges on your uniform to highlight that you are from the custard cream factory and not from one of the many other factories dotted around the country.
Anyway chin up and enjoy yourself and remember Christmas is just around the corner. Your kids will always look forward to Christmas when their Dad works on the custard cream line of such a famous brand.
Luckily for some of us biscuit makers, we get to go to a different biscuit factory in the east for the next month.
It'll be cake and arse out in the foreign biscuit factory, but I wouldn't swap places with the head biscuit taster for all the jammie dodgers in the world. Come to think of it, I am a bit of a jammie dodger, a big fat bastard of a jammie dodger, but at least I'm not making duds.
Ah well, could be worse, could be a baldy boring rich tea like GARY!
Good luck!
A biscuit like a Gary-baldy!!
Arf-arf.
