New co-worker

I get a basic feel for people right away. I'll know if they'll make it or not. I know if they'll be trouble makers or not. And I'm seldom wrong, but its something I've always been able to do when meeting new people.

Right now, we have two newbies at work.
~One started right before Christmas. I knew he'd fit in well, become the top seller, and create trouble with our trouble maker. He's done just that.
~The other started a month ago. I liked her but had no thought of her performing well. I still think she's a wonderful woman... but oh-my-gawd.... she can't get even the most basic concept down.

Usually you can tell right away. Our temp started out and was very over-bearing. We almost can't stand her now. She's nice and has a good sense of humor, but she likes to tell people what to do and doesn't even realize she's doing it. I don't think she's going to make it to perm status.
Sometimes you'll get the one that surprises you and turns out completely opposite of your first impression.

I've seen them come and I've seen them go out on the river, I can usually tell like catnapper. Some I go "Ugh Oh!" soon as I see them and hear them speak. I can spot a con a mile away and we had one not long ago who claimed he was 10 years military, I could tell he was NOT millitary. He did 10 years somewhere but not in service for our country. He was so nice and handsome, just soooo sweet! If they don't socialize with the rest of the crew, they are not planning to stay and will not do a whole trip.. I can even spot the baby of the family.. they hardly ever make it out there.
