Sounds to me, FPAlpha, that once she has full time to devote to staying home, she'll probably accidently burn the house down.
I've worked with fewer stupid people than I have seen stupid people at other companies. Some examples off the top of my head:
I don't remember how it happened, but an employee at a Pizza Hut offered to give me a free drink (they probably messed up my order or something), but this employee had no such permission to do that and was reprimanded by what I assume was the shift supervisor, telling her if she gave me a free drink, they why wouldn't she give the people behind me one? Such a dumb thing to do. I said something to the affect I didn't really need the drink, but they gave it to me anyway.
Then at the same location some time before that, another cashier just baffled me: she was totalyl inept at counting coins. She seemed to be confused and was counting each coin at a time rather than breaking down the coins (puttign quarters with quarters, etc., and breaking it down into piles like four quarters or five dimes). How can somebody that old with no obvious mental problems to have noted, not know how to add money? I expect to see more of this in my state (Florida) since about a month or two ago it was announced the standardized testing bar was going to be lowered to allow more idiots to pass.
At one business, they have a water color with a cup dispensor on the side. These types of water colors with cups at have around over two decades; the outward design hasn't changed much.
So, somehow they managed to knock the cup dispensor off the color, which is remakrably hard considering it is held on there on two track-lines going vertically for about three or four inches, and proceed to not only put it back on upside down, but only put it back on one track-line and then put the cups in upside down as well so they can't dispense from the bottom. It's even more bafflign than that: they put or left the top plastic cap on it, so the cups can't spill out. How did they think that would work? Bizarre.
For a month now I've been working on some occassion, not together, but with a new guy. I won't go into much detail about him, but suiffice to say in his previous job he was in charge of the safety and maintainance of large equipment used every single day. This guy has no time management, wanders about with no plan in mind, and asks you about something simple three or four time in a conversation which can last ten minutes. It's a miracle people were not hurt of killed because of this guy.
