VW, awesome you on the gold star!!
Boo on everyone being sick, injured, and otherwise not fully able to defend the cemetery from the walking undead. What will Buffy do without us?!?! And dang it, where is Willow??? Oops, sorry, out loud typing again.
What kind of drafting?
first I'm doing single line drawings of the sound system to figure out what we can and can't do. Then I'll probably draft where the speakers and mic's go on the ground plan. And I should do a section to figure out the angle that the trio of speakers that will fly on the B-ring. (and where the word "I" is used, really all should say "the Designer", but alas, that won't happen).
So. Words of wisdom from the wise hive mind? What do you do with an employee who is chronically late... like really late... like call at 1pm when he is supposed to be here and wake him up late so he arrives all non-showered and stinky late? And often times saying "so when can I get a break to get food, I haven't eaten yet today" :: head-desk ::
healing~ma to Daniel and Frank
Kick Some Ass is by Stroke 9 and it's on the Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back soundtrack. It's my naked dancing song.
Omnis, do you have a written-warning system at your work? Here we would give him a verbal, then a written, then a final, then term him. If you don't have that you could try telling him, "Show up late again and you're fired."
I take cranberry pills every day.
Poor Daniel, though. He must have been feeling bad for a while.
thing is, I really don't want to fire him. He's like an unpolished gem. But he's 21 going on 14 or something. You try and get all grr and bossy, and he turns into punk rebel teenager. But it feels like he's walking over me, and it sucks. I'm wondering if there is some cool teacher voodoo that will work. He's not responding to the Disney mantra (if your early, your on time. If your on time, your late. If your late, your fired), and doesn't get the math of the "uff-dah" to "that-a-boy" ratio (1:10). And, he's not as tidy as my old ass't, so things look like an 8 year olds bedroom. shit EVERYWHERE. ugggg.
I'm having a sudden urge to be Goth Raggedy Ann for Halloween. I'd wear this dress [link] with black and white tights. I'd make a yarn wig in black and put on all the makeup in black.
Windsparrow, please carry my feel better ~ma to Daniel.
omnis, could you put him in charge of something (that he'd care about) and let him sink or swim? I think that you might have the face the fact that he's not ready to be polished, and you might have to fire him.
Sounds like you really need to have a Come to Jesus with this guy. Is there a way to attach some penalty short of firing to each new incident - loss of hours, something like that?
He's not responding to the Disney mantra (if your early, your on time. If your on time, your late. If your late, your fired
Maybe because he's repeatedly late and he hasn't been fired?
He needs hardass consequences. Does he get paid for hours worked? Maybe send him home next time he's late meaning no pay for that day?
Skips ahead to send my best wishes for quick recovery, Daniel. A bunch of pain relief and/or good drugs ~ma too.
