The Rookie

Yes, I finally have a junior in my department, it was a shock on thursday when I saw how ill-informed he was of the basics of finance, or of the comoany business.


However, today, it was an inspiration watching him focus on the morning session, improvising on what I was telling him, trying to think outside the box.

I think he'll make for a good one, only needs to keep his eagerness to impress on a leash.

So you are the boss now?

Nothing is very clear yet, but I've taken over a junior from accounting, till they decide which level is best suited for me.

The.I.inside said...

Well, Yaaay you. how cool is it to have your own Rookie to order around.

Umslopagas said...

Lol, no.

I'm not the Sabrina type of "Someday you'll have someone of your own to torture" ;)

The.I.inside said...

you are such a nice person. but come on don't you have the urge to just order him around a little bit even if you did it nicely

O and the neck pain is probably from staring at the Monitor all that time.

Umslopagas said...

Possibly, but I think I slept wrongly, 3 pillows is too much after all.

i didn't really have a rookie for a long time, but back in my old job i trained 3 people so that they'd take my place after i resigned....

GOD IT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!!

i am not the best teacher, and i expected to get what i do by watching me, i expected them to ask me about the why's i do things in a certain way, but noooooo...

i don't think i have it in me to be a good teacher unless the person i'm teaching is of higher IQ... so, best of luck if you're anything like me :))

Actually, since I'm a frequent mover, this is not the first time for me to teach.

So far, this guy is eager to learn, so let's wait and see.
