Been training a new hire for the last couple of weeks.  I think I work harder training than I do when I'm just doing my usual job.

Hope he learns the job soon enough so I can start napping again.  

Put 'em on a leash and sleep with one eye open.

I hate training new hires.  I can't surf the net near as much when I'm doing that.

I actually enjoy training so long as the person I'm training has a real interest in learning.  If they cop an attitude, than it stinks.

Burley it rains a few inches in a couple of weeks and you all have to go and hire someone to help out?  You have been napping.

It shouldn't be too hard training someone to do "nothing."

I'm with you, Burley.

I don't mind training, but I can't stand it when a new hire won't ask questions, take notes, or act like he or she is interested. I despise retraining someone who wasn't interested from the beginning.

So you actually have to work?  Is this once out of 5 yrs?  Just do what they do here.  Throw them to the fire and hope they work out.

I do more before 5AM than most people do all day.

I have never trained anybody for a job but I help my friends and family with schoolwork because I'm a pretty good writer. I don't mind helping as long as they try to retain what I tell them and take the initiative to improve from what I tell them so I won't have to tell them again the next time. My roommate is terrible at this. He asks me to help him with his papers and then pretty much walks away while I revise instead of trying to get better by listening why I do what I do.

What do you do Burley?

Started training a 48 year old guy Monday to do my current position and do you think he wants to listen to me...no.  Does it help he has a CPA which seems to make him God...no.  But I cannot wait for him to take it over >

Pouring dropshots and jigheads don't count.  

Maybe you should consider a part-time job interviewing potential new

hires at the local gentleman's club. I don't know much about the pay,

but the benefit package is pretty good.

;D ;D
