I think I'm going to go shoot myself now

I just spent 15 minutes explaining to a co-worker how to save an excel file in a particular folder on our server.The tricky part is creating a folder if it isn't already there. She is now filling up an entire sheet of paper with step by step instructions on how to accomplish this task. The sad part is when she needs to do this again, she will spend 20 minutes reviewing her notes before attempting the saving procedure, followed by 10 minutes of slowly going through the procedure, only to screw it up and ask for help which will cause me to have to then spend 15 minutes explaining the process anew.

She has since moved on to the second page of notes on this procedure. With much pleasure, she showed me that she could go through it all by herself. Then I had to go and delete all the extra folders she put on the server that were unneeded while she was practicing.

*BANG*

Why was she hired you ask? 2 Things.

1) She was hired to do menial tasks which no human being would want to do which she does very well. The problem is that when she was hired in 18 years ago, these tasks were a big part of our business which they no longer are. She needs to be useful or she will have to be let go from a financial stand point so the boss tries to teach her news things to make her useful again.

2) She's the boss's wife's sister.

*BANG*
