Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

We've gone over the steps at least 15 times. There are like 4 steps. I've watched over your shoulder while you do the steps. You've taken your own notes. I'VE SENT THE INSTRUCTIONS COUNTLESS TIMES. WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU BEING SUCH A BRAINDEAD PIECE OF ROTTEN ROADKILL??! NOT YOUR FUCKING MOTHER. NOT WIPING YOUR ASS.

Jesus.

Because books.

Oh dear, sarameg.

Our wings are not tired.

YouTube, Powerpoint, 2x4? One of those should work.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I am hearing "THERE ARE FOUR STEPS" like that TNG ep with the 4 lights.

Maybe Patrick Stewart could come to your work and shout it at the dumbass co-worker?

I'm really not sure how much is passive-aggresiveness and how much is ineptitude. I mean, I don't particularly like dealing with this task either. But it makes more sense for her to do it and we've got to have someone besides me proficient at it. And it is really not that hard. So every time it has come up recently, I make her do it. And every damned time, she asks the same damn questions. And I c&p the same damned responses & instructions.

And I'm going to keep dumping it back on her plate until she's no longer asking me the same thing.

Ah, acquired incompetence then. My kids practice that one.

How often does it come up? Just out of curiosity.
