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.
Numfar! Do the dance of joy.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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?

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?

Trudy, I love the idea and the dress is so cute! If I did anything on Halloween, I might even steal this idea, I like it so much.

I'm very tempted as your standard of cute is remarkable, Glamcookie.
Oh! I bought Hello Kitty picks today. They're much smaller and thinner than the picks I'm using but DUDE... they change when you tilt them. On one, her hand is up, on the other, she is strumming down. Shredding Kitty.
