I feel ya, I have sort of a love-hate relationship with my asst. I love him cause he's a good dude, honest, clean cut and friendly with customers. I hate him because he calls off when he gets the sniffles, has some attention to detail issues, and just has somewhat of a lax attitude about work. I started busting his chops some on the latter parts, and lately I've been liking him more. He's going on 2 years now 4 or so days a week, from a CL ad. He likes the job because we work well together and generally knock out a days work in 6-7 hours, plus it's not too monotonous. You'll find the guy, jsut keep at it...
