So for the last week and a half I've been trying to train a new guy who's the replacement for the woman who was working with me. She was the one who did the premade scones and muffins and such while I did the actual desserts each day. The hard part is trying to get him to improve. He started out bright and eager to learn, and still says he loves the job and really wants to keep it, but he's...so...very...very...sloooooowwww.

Argh.

The first couple of days I could understand, since the gal he's replaced trained him in her job. She left behind notes that I deciphered and reprinted in something useable, since they were awfully disjointed. I thought that was why he kept having to puzzle over them every five minutes. Even after that, he has a tendency to just stop dead and not do anything at all for a few minutes. It's like he hates having to decide what he needs to be doing, and he also resents being told what should be done by when.

Double argh.

And lastly, he really sucks at math. Which wouldn't be so bad if he didn't have a habit of asking, say, how many trays of mini cookies he should do for the next day's catering and then cock his head and say, "Are you sure?" when I answer. Which then has him immobile and me frustrated that I have to try to explain basic division to him rather than work on my own stuff. Dude, if you're not going to trust my answer, then don't ask. Bring a calculator, whip out pen and paper, whatever, but don't ask me and then treat me like I don't know what I'm doing. The stuff we do, it has to be all multitasking, all the time...but he can't possibly ever do more than one thing at a time. I keep swooping in and baking up stuff for him (and traying it up, for that matter) because he still can't figure out that he's supposed to get all the baking done in four hours because it'll take another four to pack it all up and send it out. So not only am I doing my job, but I'm also doing most of his, and we're both racking up serious overtime.

I really hope he gets a clue soon, because I really don't feel like doing my job and his all through the holiday season. It's only going to get busier from here on in and I'll be damned if I have no life because he can't get with the program.

On a totally different note, I recommend you all check out homebrew science which has lots of tutorials and forums for being a better mad scientist. Highly recommended especially for those of you who'd like to be the cool aunt or uncle who encourages kids to make things that blow up.

so, he hasn't figured out that you're an absolute wiz at math yet?  And are you sure that he's not related to the Johnny wannabe?

BTW, corporate fandango at Pizza Farm tomorrow, when I get to go and play with the old gang, including Drew.  Much fun to be had...

I would have hoped that he can at least figure out I'm waaaaay better at math than he is. But who's Johnny?

Yeef.

Say "hi" to Drew and everybody for me. Send a restaurant critic to the caf at the hospital.
