It's time for a bitch rant. You have been warned.
Wanted: Horrid Group Member
Requirements: Must be able to make me
1) wanna pull all my hair out
2) Feel like the end of the world is coming
3) Shoot the evil look.
How to be a Bad group member:
1) Do not reply emails sent to your mail. And when you finally do so, please cite "hall and personal stuff" as your reason. This is so as to imply that you have a life while others don't.
2) On the first arranged meeting, be late. Oh! And don't forget not to inform your group member. Tell them that you are on your way only when they call you half an hour later asking where the heck you are and informing you that the meeting has ended.
3) No matter what you do, DON'T do research for the next group meeting. Read the case study only during the meeting.
4) When one group member is late (since she has to travel all the way from serangoon to bloody school just for you. on a saturday), Don't discuss the case first with the other group member. Instead, hop down to SUBWAY for a nice refreshing sandwich.
5) When that group member has arrived and called you, take your own bloody sweet time to go up. Let's see... She took about an hour before she finally could master the stairs to join in the discussion. Try to beat that. No one is that challenged.
6) Insist on arranging
many meetings. which take place in school. at night. so that people who do not live on campus can shoot you the disbelieving look.
7) Since you have not done your research, make the excuse that since you are not from computing faculty, you wouldn't know anything. I would think a 3rd year science student would know more about research than me. Thn happily annouce that the other girls HAVE to help you since you are not from computing.
8) Ask whether SDE is in NUS.
(I think by this time, she could feel the hatred oozing out of me.)
9) Keep on hinting to the other group members to help you do research.
10) Boast that you would do your research by the end that day and... don't submit in the work to the person who is compiling.
i had many happy tree friends thought running thru my head during that hour. if i could, i could happily stab her eyes out with a blunt toothpick.
fuck. i'm super upset. I don't mind pairing up with strangers but this is scraping the bottom of the leeching-losers barrel. What on earth did i do do to Sathish? Why me?
The other girl is no better. when i emailed her my free slots, she replied with her own timetable. As if the effort to look through my mail and see which free slots were common. And on the day we met up with our research, she brought a thumbdrive where she had saved her research. a fucking thumbdrive. without a fucking laptop. and not even smsing me to ask whether i would bring my laptop. But it was okay.. seeing how her research was just copy and paste. from the same fricking website.
Sometimes, i can't believe how stupid people can be. YET, such people prove to be beyond the lowest of expectations.
As you can tell, incompetence
irritates the fuck out of me.
i
cannot wait for wednesday to end.
