Monica strikes again, acting like a TOTAL GENIUS about this ID computer debacle.
Since she couldn't see paying for a new computer or new software or a new camera for the ID room, in which we job-description-ingly create IDs for the students, she decided to partner with Security to create IDs with their computer, camera, and software. Since the bookstore makes money from each ID made, she doesn't want to let them handle the whole thing completely.
So this is her stupid solution (there's no other word for it):
When a student comes in to the bookstore and requests an ID, we have to check the student's enrollment status here on our computer.
Then we fill out a ticket and take it to Tara in Security (who only works Monday through Wednesday).
On Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, Tara will create the ID. On Thursdays and Fridays, it will be done by one of our cashiers. Damaris and Rowan will train on the software first, along with Ryan.
If they want a bus pass (provided free by C-Tran for the college), they have to come back to the bookstore and have us set that up for them with their new ID.
It's beyond dumb and as I was just saying to Rowan, she is the thorn on the rose that is this workplace. WITHOUT FAIL, she always chooses the stupidest possible solution to any situation.
I've worked with people who were obtuse and heartless before, but no one has ever been this dumb.
NOT MUCH LATER:
She is universally mocked at each of our homes. Rowan says her name has become a verb at their house.
