I'm sure that if you think back, those tasks were not so mundane to you...two years ago.
Or...the guys an idiot. What are ya gonna do?

I have a FNG at my work right now too and it is frustrating. He keeps transferring calls and asking questions that he should be able to handle or readily look up the proper info himself. It is hard to get the proper perspective, if he is just making new guy mistakes or if he wont be able to figure it out. The last three new guys my work hired before him caught on a lot quicker though. I guess thats why my work hires everybody on a 90 day provisional basis, then does a review to see if they will keep the person around.
