Subject: supervisor by default
<cf_rant>
Okay, so I'm not a supervisor. I don't pretend to be a supervisor. I don't
aspire to be a supervisor. I'm just a lowly code girl.
But, I am currently a supervisor by default. One of our departments decided
that since we couldn't do their project "fast enough" (in other words the
director of their department stuck them in a low-priority slot) that they'd
just hire their own student to do the project. Great.
So, it turns out this student has no CF experience, no practical database
experience, doesn't seem to know HTML fundamentals, and has written a whole
bunch of code by checking out a laptop from comp sci, downloading CF 4.5is he
(we're currently migrating to CFMX from 5.0), creating an access datasource
(we use Oracle), and writing crapola code. *sigh*
So, we met with him on Friday and find out all this, and talk to my boss,
who agrees to let him work on one of our computers. Guess who gets to try to
figure out how to train him?
On top of that, he said he'd come in yesterday afternoon. He never showed
up. I emailed him. He said he'd come in at 7:00 this morning. It's 9:25. He
just showed up.
Anyone got a heaping helping of patience and good will I can borrow?
