I was put with that apprentice because the boss wants shut of him

can guess what the boss thinks of me.

Why doesn't the boss just say "Sorry lad, but we don't think you're
cut out for this. Time to move on."?

I can't understand why he hasn't already worked this out for himself.

Is there some reason why an apprentice can't make his own decision to
"give up" ?

That would mean that he has to tell Mummy that he is a lazy ******* and
that he has quit work/got fired. He is still there - but not for long
unless he improves.

The mother has been on the phone to complain about me. It did come as a
complete shock to her that her son is idle "I don't believe that and I
have known him longer than you".

She was even more shocked when she was told to "**** off and stop wasting
my time" by the manager of the firm.

She's unlikely to know about usenet, but if she ever does find out
about it, it might be amusing when the **** hits the fan legally |-)
