Work woes

I'm presently sitting at a table where I work and am having to wonder just what is wrong with the teenagers of this city. I don't mean to sound like one of many elderly (which I assure you I'm not) I've known in my life, but there is something wrong with the teenagers of today. Case in point -- one of my coworkers.

D2, as I shall call him for all intensive purposes, has proven to be a definite sign that society is doomed. He is lacking motivation and cares only for doing what makes life and work easier for him. I am known for being the person who comes in to work on time, if not early. In contrast, D2 has been consistantly late which is nice as it means more hours for myself, but in a time in which management is looking for a reason to let go of monetary losses, this can also be a bit of a double edged sword.

He constantly seems to be looking for a reason to play, other employees, "practicing" (you can only a drink wrong so many times before asking for help), etc. He has been known to leave behind unfinished work, and requests for others to do the simplest tasks are common.

Perhaps I am so aggravated due to the fact that not only does he lack motivation, he lacks the ability to think five minutes ahead. Make a suggestion, and he realizes minutes after taking the separate route that the original was acceptable as well. Or simply it was because he needed to be told to do his job. Repeatedly. I'm leaning towards my reasoning being the latter as I think.

A sigh would be good right about now.
