Also called phosphor pitch, a measurement that indicates the diagonal distance between like-colored phosphor dots on a display screen. Measured in millimeters, the dot pitch is one of the principal characteristics that determines the quality of display monitors. The lower the number, the crisper the image. The dot pitch of color monitors for personal computers ranges from about 0.15 mm to 0.30 mm.

I think that's what was being described.


regarding Numeracy (or more precisely, the lack thereof) my co-worker (the one we're trying our best to get rid of) Is a complete B-word to our customers and can barely handle simple math. On several occasions asking the customer how much she owes them.

meanwhile, it cost $1.68, and they gave her a toonie ($2).


And god forbid they wait until AFTER she rings in the amount given to let the machine do the math before introducing *GASP* another 68 cents! Dear me!

Oh well, as My supervisor says about her, "you can't teach stupid"- She's a smart one, she is.

various interesting stupidities she's performed.

Taking out the compost, she told us, "she was taking it out to her car".... *censored*?

She can't use the stepladder to grab any items, she has to get me to grab them. a Complete waste of my time. As if I don't have any of my own work to do. Apparently she's "afraid of heights". Which means she must not sleep on her stomach for fear.

Saying "this is ridiculous" when there is one customer. Who wants one coffee. Yeah, alright then. Not like that's the reason we're freaking here in the first place.


or my personal favourite would be going out to clean tables, and purposely bringing a newspaper to read. As if we can't see her standing there for almost an hour reading the bloody paper. My suspicion is she looks at the pictures.

My only consolation is I make more money then her. But really I don't understand why let her keep her job after simply vanishing from the store not once, but twice in her first three months. Oh well.


Sorry, guess I somewhat strayed from "numerically challenged" to just plain "stupid".

Numerically challenged eventually morphs into just plain stupid....
If you don't use it ...you lose it.

[BC_Programmer]

that's true.

She's illiterate as well. heh, High school dropout. Or maybe she didn't even get past high school? I don't know. whenever some of us talk about school(s) she always changes the subject.

But that's exactly what we've been saying, Geek-9pm.

I would guess, maybe, that some of these are true: she is "built", and either the boss or the clientele are male, and except for moose the nearest female is in Fairbanks?

[BC_Programmer]

GOD no...


she's old... and ... "of generous girth"

they keep saying that they can't get rid of her because she's been there so long. well who's fault is that? they were told before the three months "probation" was up that she was a freakin retard when it came to anything requiring a cerebrum.

Although I'll admit that the brain mass of the entire afternoon shift staff might add up to the size of an ants claw, so it seems to be the de facto standard to hire retards.

I guess they work for cheap? Unlike the smarter ones there like myself who realize that they don't lack a working frontal lobe.

BC,

Here are a few evaluation comments that sounds like they might be used for this person.


Employee Evaluations: 

He who has ever had or made an evaluation - just remember, it could have been worse.

These are actual quotes taken from Federal Government employee performance
evaluations.
 
1. "Since my last report, this employee has reached rock-bottom and has
started to dig."

2. "I would not allow this employee to breed."

3. "This employee is really not so much of a has-been, but more of a
definite won't be."

4. "Works well when under constant supervision and cornered like a rat in a trap."

5. "When she opens her mouth, it seems that it is only to change feet."

6. "This young lady has delusions of adequacy."

7. "He sets low personal standards and then consistently fails to achieve them."

8. "This employee is depriving a village somewhere of an idiot."

9. "This employee should go far, and the sooner he starts, the better."

10. "Got a full 6-pack, but lacks the plastic thingy to hold it all
together"

11. "A gross ignoramus -- 144 times worse than an ordinary ignoramus."

12. "He doesn't have ulcers, but he's a carrier."

13. "The wheel is turning, but the hamster is dead"

14. "I would like to go hunting with him sometime."

15. "He's been working with glue too much."

16. "He would argue with a signpost."

17. "He brings a lot of joy whenever he leaves the room."

18. "When his IQ reaches 50, he should sell."

19. "If you see two people talking and one looks bored, he's the other one."

20. "A photographic memory but with the lens cover glued on."

21. "A prime candidate for natural de-selection."

22. "Donated his brain to science before he was done using it."

23. "Gates are down, the lights are flashing, but the train isn't coming"

24. "He's got two brains cells, one is lost and the other is out looking for it."

25. "If he were any more stupid, he'd have to be watered twice a week."

26. "If you give him a penny for his thoughts, you'd get change."

27. "If you stand close enough to him, you can hear the ocean."

28. "It's hard to believe he beat out 1,000,000 other sperm."

29. "One neuron short of a synapse."

30. "Some drink from the fountain of knowledge; he only gargled."

31. "Takes him 2 hours to watch '60-minutes'."
