Forget credit checks...

Employers and retailer should run i.q. tests instead. Example

A woman at work has a laptop. A really nice laptop. She hasn't a clue how to use it and is constantly asking for help with it. I don't have a laptop. Hell, I don't have a digital camera. So why does something so nice go to waste? If she doesn't have the skill to operate it she shouldn't have it.

Also, would it kill a person to say 'woops, you were right (or at least not at fault) for this situation'. I'm getting constantly berated by someone here and she just doesn't get it. I'll spare the details, so here's the overview. Two purchase orders were made, but only one made it to the fabic company to mail and bill us for. I paid the one that made it through since I had an invoice and completed purchase order. Today someone decided that it was my fault that the second one (which was never completed) wasn't paid. News flash, there's nothing to pay, but that apparently doesn't matter to her. She stomped around and did her little 'I'm mad' thing. She also went through our invoice copies and found what she thought was what I didn't pay. It was paid, and that's when she finally realized that I hadn't 'shirked my job'. I did exactly right. I wouldn't know if there was another purchase order out there because I didn't have a scrap of paperwork for it and there wasn't anything about it listed on my statements. Nya.

Update on this: while I was bitch-writing she came and gave me her version of an apology, which isn't apologizing at all. More like grunting and sighing. Close enough.
