It was a tad pre-emptive of me yesterday to assume impending amusement in relation to my successor starting work.
I'm sure I will be. Amused that is. Eventually. In hindsight. At the moment though? Not so much.
It was a veeerrryyy long day. Eight excruitiating hours.
For example ...
Her: "The customer wants 2 of [product]. How do I write it on the docket?"
Me: "He wants 2 only, so the unit is 'each'. Just write 'EA' which means 'each' on the docket, so that the storeman knows that he wants 2 only, not, say, 2 cartons."
Her: Blank look.
Me: Pointing to docket "Write EA there"
Her: Blank look.
Me: Reiterating "EA means 'each' for 2 single ones."
Her: Blank look.
Me: "EEE. AAA."
Her: Blank look.
Me: " EA - 'E' for egg, 'A' for apple. Short for 'each'"
Her: Writes AA.
Me: Well, you can probably imagine.

Ohhhh it's amusing alright. In the *muhahaha* they-are-stuck-with-an-idiot-should-have-been-nicer-to-Ginger kind of way.
Hope she picks it up soon :S
