for me to expect my trainee to stay awake during our shift?
He's on his third nap tonight. I just let him sleep. I've been running him pretty ragged trying to cram a lot of info into his skull the last few days and tonight I told him to just take it easy and watch what I'm doing . Apparently the boredom of watching me play on the internets overtook him. I thought being as the lead hand couldn't teach him anything that maybe he could retain some of it working with me. He wasn't retaining anything so I'm trying a low stress, little at a time strategy. It doesn't seem to be working either.
He has things that he needs to be getting done. One is passing a test on CD so he can get into our MWD operations course. You gotta pass both to get promoted from trainee to numbskull or whatever I am. He's gotta be able to take surveys and make logs which he hasn't even come close to mastering.
