As long as they dont send her out for 1000 foot of flight line or blinker fluid, she's fine

mahlernut:
Of course she doesn't have a printer in her butt, Sam.  If she did, where would she keep the flares?

A real test to see if Sam has the discipline and commitment needed to learn useful skills over a period of weeks or if she'll just run off the minute things get boring. There's no reason to even bother to start on the training process until that question is answered.

This. When I was apprenticing as a tattoo artist, I didn't get to jump immediately to giving tattoos. I had to start out cleaning the shop and then cleaning equipment, etc. If you're wanting to work in a specialised industry, you gotta start with the basics first and work your way up.

Thrudd:
All too true but there is also another reason for that.
Diligence, good housekeeping and sanitation.
You need that knowledge set for those times you have to clean up after yourself.

There is also a secondary benefit in that as they do their routine of boring cleaning.
Their laziness synchronizes with their diligence and they figure out the best way to get things done to acceptable levels as quickly and easily as possible.
Then as the boredom of the routine sets in they start noticing things about what they are cleaning up and around.
Mind you this only happens with those with active minds and high curiosity levels.
This leads to more insightful levels of questioning about the equipment and work being done.

This may prove to be a fun little adventure in intern land if the story is willing to go there.

Is it cold in here?:
