I hate you group

March 13th, 2008

Recall how I said I was working with the most competent group ever? Well I take that back, this is the most incompetent group ever.  I thought that with addition of someone else where some technical skills in my group, things would be a piece of cake.  Unfortunately the cost of that technical ability is that the rest of group lacks basis skills.  How the hell are these kids college seniors is beyond me.  One of them can’t seem to figure out how to use the Carbon Copy on emails and also lives in sort of alternate reality where emails and faxes only work during certain times of the day and 4:30 PM on a weekday is not one of them…

This group is a fucking joke, last week we scheduled a 1 PM meeting for this Wednesday and just me and the other person with technical ability show up.  Not an email at all from the other members saying they wouldn’t make it or even some lame excuse of why they couldn’t be there.  Anyhow, I needed them to show up to sign a document we were suppose to have turned into the client LAST WEEK!  So since they didn’t come, we lack the signatures to send it off to the client and it drags on for another week!  I sent them a scan of the document with the 2 signatures and they can’t figure out to print it, sign it, scan it, and send it….

Never fucking ceases to amaze me… Just never in a good way…

Rant about work, school, life

February 28th, 2008

Heh, work is almost like survivor or I just watch to much TV… But, I’ve had it with someone and I think they need to be voted off…

School project is going slowly, I don’t think our group has quite accomplished anything, so of the 5 members, there is:

Me - Elitist Bitch?

Member 2 - Wants to be the leader and I guess hates me

Member 3 - Wants to be a gansta…

Member 4- Doesn’t know what we are even doing

Member 5- I think actually posses some skills better than my own and actually has reading comprehension skills!

So with member 5 in the group, this is probably the most competent I’ve worked with (and you thought it was going to be the worst)…

With work and just 9 credits, I should have more time for life, but it seems I just end up sleeping alot. I love sleeping… I think I’ll do some of that now..

The stupidity….

Another night of work and another night of me tearing my hair out at some of the stuff I see.. If this were a forum, someone would be saying these people are making baby jesus cry.

It’s also another semester, another group project, and even more headache, reading comprehension is apparently not a skill that is possessed by my group. This is going to suck…..

My brain hurts :(

Still in physical “therapy”, with no results!  I can’t believe each of the session cost close to a hundred bucks, what a freaking waste.  My ER visit cost ~ $300 from the hospital PLUS $200 from the ER doc.  Seriously?  $500 for me to spend 3 hours in an ER room and only to be released with some pain meds that sucked!  Actually, it was only a prescription to purchase $50 pain meds that sucked!  So $550 later, I’m still broken.  I could of bought a PS3 or something with $550….

Now these physical therapy things, where one of the sessions actually caused me to be in more severe pain.  Worst yet it was on a Friday, so I suffered all weekend and still had to take almost 3 days off from work because of that one session!

I’ve got all these “group” projects at school.  I don’t why, but I always feel like I get the duds,  I send out an email to the group asking if anyone did an assignment we have due in the next class and I get an email back asking if it’s a group or individual thing.  Why the hell would I ask if it was an individual thing?  Plus, the kid could have easily found if it was individual or group if he looked on the damn website for the class.  Somehow lacking simple skills of deduction, that same kid reportedly got the highest grade on our mid term!  Something is just not right with that…

And I feel like I’ve just committed a crime, my new nearly full bottle of vodka had an incident with the kitchen floor… $23 down the drain literally.

Connie is retarded!

Tuition per semester is not $7k, but $7k for the year… I should of realized that, been going there for 3 years! So tuition for the fall semester is actually $3670 then there are the miscellaneous fees totaling the bill to $4075. A little more bearable, but I’m been a retard lately and have lost a $1k a year scholarship. That $500 would have helped, that’s 12% off right there! But nope, I just had to fail some classes and lose that. Not to mention I keep putting off mailing in some stuff for my Horatio Alger scholarship, now I don’t even know if I’ll be getting the $625 from that. I don’t know what my deal is lately, but with a few hundred bucks at stake, you would think I would be more adamant in following up with things….

Anyways, less than 2 weeks to go till vacation time! Starting today, I’m working the overnight shift at work. I’m a complete sell out, I gave up sunlight for a 15% shift differential. Shame on me….

I went fishing last Thursday off of Rt.9, I only caught one actual fish, a really light color catfish. My mom caught a bunch more than me. However, I spent a good majority of the time crabbing, I caught tons of crabs, so many that my right hand still hurts from scooping them all up. I even “caught” a snapping turtle, I pulled on my line thinking I had a super big crab, turned out it was the turtle and it swam off with my crab bait(shad)! Heh, I wonder if there is a turtle shitting out a long piece of string now…. My dad managed to somehow catch 4 carp, right in the spot I spent probably 2-3 hours in and only got the one catfish!

My brother shipped off for basic on the 5th, now he is in basic at Fort Knox in Kentucky.

And the paper that nearly killed me to write, professor gave me an A-! I wouldn’t have given myself an A- for sure, but all that work finally feels worthwhile now. I was totally expecting a C or lower on the paper.

Well, that’s all there is to say.
