top o' the mornin'®

I've got a training class at 9 this morning for new employees; I'm supposed to show them how to correctly complete a particular report. I hope this will cut down on the problems that I've been having to deal with (incorrect data, for instance).

I was trying to embed this - but I'm too stoopid.

But ear's post made me think of this recent Dilbert strip which I enjoyed

Good luck with that. Why didn't they get the training from someone before they started on the reports?

Is it just me, or does this sound like a Dilbert comic strip to anyone else?
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

I'm supposedly the SME (subject matter expert) on this particular report. As to why training was not provided earlier, it's a simple matter of time management - they throw new employees in and give them OJT, usually from someone who understands the procedures, but not always. Sometimes it's "the blind leading the blind".
