Temp guy at work has been here for two weeks now. He’s pretty clueless about modern office equipment not knowing his mouse from his keyboard from his telephone. But I wrote down some simple instructions for him and thought he would be okay.
Every morning and after his lunch break he would come in and ask me “Where has my screen gone” and I would explain “your computer goes to sleep while you are away for long periods of time, just click on the mouse to wake it up”. He finally got that sussed yesterday and hasn’t asked about it all day “Yay”.
I was coping with the stupid questions and even starting to feel guilty because I was getting snippy at temp guy when he asked yet another dumb question.
But I have reached my limit, I can take no more, You Sir Are a Moron.
Scenario – temp guy is given a key to the front door last week so he doesn’t need to ring the doorbell every day to get in. I write on the envelope “Front Door Key”.
Still temp guy rings the doorbell, I discuss this with him, explain that key opens front door and if he remembers to take the key when he goes out, he can then use it to open the front door on his return.
TWO WEEKS LATER and he is still ringing the doorbell every freaking time he goes out!
This morning I took him downstairs with the key, I showed him how to put the key in the lock and how when you turn the key the door opens!! “oh is that what it does” is his only comment.
Well WTF did you think the key to the front door did? you motherfucking idiot!
happyheathen I’m an Aussie too and not only can I open the front door I am now skilled enough to attempt training a second person in door opening techniques.
How can you tell the difference? All the ones I’ve met walk straight, so I assumed they were sober. Maybe they are just naturally drunk, but don’t show it?
That might explain it…
I dunno, leechbabe. Notice it’s you The Dumb Guy asks questions of, not the boss? Did the boss stick him with you on purpose, or is it just your charm that attracts nitwits?
My boss hasn’t been here most of the week so I’m the only person here to ask questions of.
Temp Guy’s been getting all stressed out because for some reason today he keeps managing to eject the CD Rom. The first time he did it I swear he thought the computer was going to blow up. Maybe I should tell him he’s broken the cup holder and he’d better ring the tech guy
You could just disable the doorbell whenever he goes out. Then you could say that you didn’t hear it. I see all sorts of fun in sending him downstairs to “test” the doorbell!
G is for Good Grief. Tell your boss that his mate is too dense to use a key, a phone, and a computer, and that next time he has gambling debts he should just pay them off.
