snail's pace

Finally...the end of my intern's first week. Luckily, it's only a two week internship. Already, he's managed to show up half an hour late every day, break the wheels off my tool cart (and leave it abandoned in another room), and loose a step ladder. And to top it off, it took him three whole days to paint a single wall! Mind you, it was red, and that requires primer and a few coats of paint, but it's not a big wall...seriously!

He's a good kid, but his pace is just so painfully slovenly. I have to keep reminding myself that I'm doing it as a favour to his mom, my former boss. (Which coincidentally, makes for some other weird dynamics.)

Thankfully next week is a short week due to the upcoming long weekend!
