Paralegal issues

I don't know why, but we have a new paralegal (about 7 months) in our dept and she's a bit lazy and I call her on it because I don't have time to clean up her projects. My partner has plenty of time, and he does clean up her projects. Anyway, she pushes back on EVERYTHING that I ask her to do, and she gets snotty. She's constantly apologizing for her uproars and blames it on that age (hot flashes, etc.)

I'm getting to the point where I'm just going to be one of those female attorneys and to hell with it.

How do you handle these situations with your paralegals? I had to fire another paralegal about a year ago, but he was worthless.
Hire someone young and eager. Old bags doing this gig for 20 years NEVER want to work and they always shirk duties and dump on the rest of us. I've never had a review describing what you've described.
