I was just squashing this monster-ass scorpion with a hammer (a fairly routine thing), and he walks in the door.  He stops.  He stares.

"What?"

Ahahahaha. Tell him he gets the next one as part of his initiation. It can be part of his new duties as Morale Officer to watch out for scorpions and smush 'em.

"Did you find yours yet?"

Also, training room is a bad idea to me. Potentially far too private. What the boy needs is a desk where everyone can see exactly what he's doing all the time. A corridor would be my preference but that probably won't fly with your safety regs.

Unless the room is totally horrible, in which case, great.

Suggestion - Give him some kind of plant and tell him it's tied to his performance. Insert appropriate bullshit about dedication, care and duty and so on. Then salt it on the QT.

The training room is between my office and the I&E lab, and is roughly the size of a tennis court.

It's not an office, it's a desk up against a wall.

I told him to watch out for the little bitty ones that blend in with everything.  Wood scorpions.  Potentially fatal sting, via respiratory shut down.  Very bad news.

Is it possible for you to ring a bell in your office and him to hear it?

May as well go full Pavlov while you've been granted the opportunity.

Bells and dog food.

I'm going to use that in our next conversation.  You, sir, are a genius.

Did I ever tell you about the work experience kid I was able to make flinch to the wrong answer noise from family fortunes?

That took less than a day. You've got FOREVER.

No, I am going to use it as an example of why he is WRONG.  How he became WRONG.

"Why, yes, I AM dancing in my office.  Is this a problem for you?"

Blank stare.

"Who doesn't like Lady Gaga?"

Dawning horror.

"Who's afraid of the big bad maintenance manager?  Fucking nobody.  Go back and finished unpacking your shit."

I think we've just found one of the duties of the morale officer.

Ask him if he knows the all the moves to "Thriller" and if he's how confident he is in a "teaching environment".

I think I have finally found all the fun I ever wanted.

I think he has, too.  He just doesn't know it yet.

Tuscon doesn't have what normal people think of as plants.  No salt required, if he can get his hands on an actual plant, it will commit hari-kiri within a month in Tuscon summer, anyway.
