'Incorrect appointments were scheduled, or not even made at all': Medical office worker shares what happens when their quirkiest colleague was put in charge of patient check-outs

This assistant is trying her hardest, but she fundamentally misunderstands a lot of things. Some people are just like that: they're very bright in some ways, and completely inept in others. Maybe you have a coworker or two who fits that description (or maybe you are that person!). These people can sometimes be so-called "personality hires." That's the person who is hired just because they're fun to be around and have a good energy about them, which can be morale-boosting in a work environment. This kind of hiring can also drive other more qualified employees up the wall, though. 

This person seems like she's having a difficult time understanding some rather basic things in her medical profession, though. As u/lucid_aurora explained in their story about their "Kevina" coworker, this woman was confused about how staplers work, and she was totally baffled by one paperwork process that seems otherwise straightforward. You can check out the full story below to read for yourself the numerous ways this coworker was a "couple cards short of a full deck, but [a] very pleasant girl," as the original poster so kindly puts it. 

Up next, read some utterly baffling admissions essays from hopeful students, like one kid who "wrote a 750-word admissions essay describing the smell of baked potatoes... I got in."
