Email is hard!

Sometimes we see stupid stuff happening and it seems like we are the only ones bothered. It's enough to make a person wonder. Is it really so bad or are we exaggerating the issue?

We're not exaggerating.

Hickey has called the IT department at least three times for help signing into her email. She can't figure out the difference between a username and a password. At least 3 times, IT has spent at least 5 minutes helping her. She still can't figure out how to log in.

 

A group effort

We're not sure who's to blame with this one. 

Is it Hickey, unable to absorb even the simplest of instructions, no matter how many times she hears them?

Is it Opie, how shouldn't be teaching anyone anything since he does everything in the dumbest way possible?

Is it Mineola and Shoes for letting Opie take charge of teaching Hickey as skill she clearly wasn't ready for?

It's hard to say. All we know is Opie was teaching Hickey how to do inventory using a laptop. They spent three hours working on four sets of shelves. After that time, they claimed to be done. When Spoof checked the inventory, nothing had been recorded. Opie blamed the internet, saying it "doesn't work in the afternoon". 

 

Time for a new feature!

We have a new employee at Tartarus. Again. History has told us that this seldom ends well. History, and the newbie's first few days.

Let's call this newbie Hickey, due to her intellectual resemblance to the cast of a certain tv show.  

This bewildered expression features highly

Now in her first few days, Joy has displayed the following inadequacies:
1. She couldn't find the power button for the computer. Neither for the tower nor for the monitor. The clearly marked, obvious power buttons.

2. We wear magnetic name tags at Tartarus. Joy couldn't figure out how to attach hers. First, she tried to simply apply the whole thing directly to her shirt. After Spoof showed her how to remove the magnet bar from the front, she tried to stick said front to her shirt, leaving the magnets on the counter.

3. She fails to absorb even the simplest instructions. It's even worse when certain other employees (*cough Opie *cough) try to teach her. 

All of this has prompted us to create a new feature here on Falling Down The Death Stare. We call it 'I'm learnding!'. In it, we will chronicle the idiocy that results from trying to train Joy.

Expect to see this particular gif a lot in the coming weeks.
