Well, thank goodness she's not handling the money, SM. Mostly they clean up and shadow the trainers to learn how to train people.
On Friday the same girl came and asked me for a calculator which I gave her. She sat and kept punching numbers into the thing with a puzzled look on her face. Finally she asks me if I'm good at math. I tell her I'm pretty decent at math and she tells me she's trying to figure out if she has 246 hours left of interning in 6 week so how many hours would she have to work per week. Arrrgh! Now this was before I knew she can't tell time, but I was still shocked. I did the numbers in my head and she couldn't figure it out with a calculator!
One of the trainers was sitting and reviewing a paper she'd written for a class. She told me her teacher had corrected her on the word "recreate". She was surprised to learn that to recreate didn't mean to sleep!!!
I'm starting to worry about my brain cells in this environment!!!!
