I don't know who my ideal person is, but I do I have some key characteristics:
- Excellent personality
- Hard worker
- Smart - not necessarily book smart, but smart enough to have good common sense
- Understand the programs we use
- Works well with people
I am not that picky, but I do need someone that isn't a weirdo. Since this morning she has handed me a list of items she "needs" for her cube. Literally, it is 50 items long including things like white boards, headset for her phone, etc. etc. I told her that I am not sure how many of these things we can get right away since they have to be approved through the corporate office. She didn't seem to like that answer. Oh well. This isn't office max and I have been more than able to work with just my computer, pad of paper and a pen for more than a month so deal.
Yes, Jessica, I do have the ability to fire her. I am going to wait and see. If she is good at her job, then I can work with that. There are a lot of people here that need the work and I understand and can be flexible; however, if she can't contribute in a meaningful way then there's nothing else I can do.
P.S. I showed her a picture of Charlie and her response was...oh, I am a cat person. Yeah, whatever.
