I get his point, he doesn't trust her to work, but what am I gonna do?  I have no authority over her.  How about stepping up as her boss and informing her that expects certain things to be done and there will be consequences if they aren't?
Nice way to start the week.

Fire him and take his job, the fire her and let me take her job.

Maybe she is special.
I'd hire you.  I'd bet you could learn the names of the other employees in 7 months (she still hasn't learned them)

I have no doubt she has a learning problem.  And an attention disorder.  These are not problems, except when you do nothing to help yourself.

No trip to KY for me this week. I'd would have enjoyed grabbing a brew with Doc, but I'm not upset that I get a pass. I'm still wearing a boot for the bad tendon, so walking around 3 days would have sucked.

17 upgrades
3 tablets...

The cell phone mining was quite lucrative today but at a cost...

35 devices sold in 10 hours- was insane.  Now I am exhausted and a little fried.  I really do think this is a YES whiskey evening.

Also alls I had in the house for dinner was peanut butter, low sugar strawberry jam and hoagie rolls.

Today and tomorrow are my longer shifts that require getting up early, and next week my schedule changes since I'm starting a math class. Fun stuff.

Chaka's painting Ta's portrait on a big rock with berry juice for paint.

Dopey the brontosaur is playing tag with his pall Screechy(?).

Uh Oh. Sceechy gets stuck in the tar pits and when Dopey tries to help he gets stuck too.  And of course Screechy gets himself free and leaves Dopey to die.

Aw. Chaka likes Dopey too!  He drops his paints and runs and gets the Marshall family to help. They toss a rope around Dopey's neck and try to pull him out.

"He's heavier than I figured..."--Rick Marshall.

Are you shitting me?  he's a 1000 pound brontosaur stuck up to his belly in tar.  Y'all really thought putting a lasso around his neck was the right thing to do?

Cool. If you are up for it, I'll let you know. I'm supposed to find out on Monday. I'll be there Wed and Thurs if I get to go.
