they took down our track so the expediter job just went from
-put specimens on the track to be spun, uncapped, run on multiple analyzers, sealed with foil, and stored automatically
-retrieve specimens by typing barcode number
-front load short specimens
to now
-spin every single tube yourself and do it in a timely manner so the glucose doesn't get messed up
-put the tubes 6 at a time into front load racks and uncap every single one (there are 500)
-use some kind of metal pole to pick up 5 racks at once to carry 30 uncapped specimens across the room at a time even though you keep saying you're really scared of this part
-remove the specimens from the analyzer with the pole before they finish running because it was not designed to be frontloading at this rate
-recap every single specimen
-scan all the specimens that came off the analyzer to see if theyre complete or need to go to a second analyzer or even back on the first one
-10 minutes later take all the ones that werent complete and check again
-scan all of the complete ones into storage racks which originally were 12x9 but we used all the 12x9 racks in the lab so now were using 12x6 and the boss has been talking about 'we have some 12x4 in the closet' but you really need the big ones because again, theres 500 tubes
-retrieve specimens by looking up its location in the walk in and then digging through the 10 racks from each day to find it, if its in the walk in. if its not you just have to check every specimen until you find it.

Honestly kinda shocked at how many people just had no interest in learning how blue collar workers are affected by this world and Lumon. As someone who's been desperate to know about that and as a Harmony Cobel lover, Sweet Vitriol had me frothing at the fucking mouth.
It was one of the most enlightening episodes so far and engages with the themes and plot of the show on multiple levels. It's one thing to not like the episode, but every time someone calls it filler, I do very much assume they don't understand what they're watching.
I don't find desmond and penny cute at all let that poor woman move on.
same as flashes before your eyes i didnt think the constant was that special, i like the time travel stuff but his flashbacks are not interesting, like many characters flashbacks they make the same point over and over which is that he loves penny and hes a coward. and that he has daddy issues with someone who's not even his dad. He breaks up with Penny because of some shit her dad said even though they both love each other and then she spends the rest of her life hung up on him, even when she's engaged to someone else, despite only talking to him about 3 times in 8 years. Beyond that i just think his motives are too simple to carry an episode, all he ever wants is penny. of course talking to penny is the solution to his problem, what else would it possibly be. And of course she says she loves him and she's still looking for him, what else would she possibly say.
