Group Projects; lack of communication.

Partner takes the responsibility of making a booklet, we both have to document our work in that. It's due today, and she told me she's scraped it, told me to make my own last night, and she made her own to hand in today.

What the hell?! A portion of that book belonged to me, at least she could have given me the book so I don't have to recreate the first procedural steps.

I hate that. One time we had to do that in IT, but only using emails. One kid in my group would not even look at his emails, and spent his time on Google Streetview in New York, before deciding to make his own booklet and email it to us randomly...
 
I try to avoid group work wherever possible. I work better by far by myself...
The cold is freezing. Waiting for my bus to arrive I thought I was actually going to get hypothermia...:(

I walked through the snowy woods, plowing through the river in the process. I wasn't cold ^

The group thing always happens. If you are in a group of 4, there's always one slacker. Pretty much the 3 do the work of 4, and if the slacker actually does his share, you throw it in with that work. Now, what grinds my gears? My mother. I have an hour to feed the cats before dad is home. I don't need to do it RIGHT NOW. And is it possible to have some time alone? Jeez. Oh, and it'd be nice for Jai to actually share gear grinders, not tales of stupidity?
 
When you give the answer to questions via a link and someone has the nerve to ask something that answered in said link.
 
Had to walk home since my dads Porsche 944 broke down after the heater started working. At least it wasn't to far away.

You're not allowed to complain, even though that sucks, because your Dad has that car.

Group work can be a nightmare, unless you have a good partner. My semi-permanent lab partner in my science class is this girls who's very nice but a bit thick. It's annoying to work with her because she'll ask stupid questions.
 
The lights in my bathroom is losing life, and no one bothers to fix it because all of us are lazy :P I am deciding to repair it the day after tomorrow, though.

My dad is an electrician and always has spare bulbs stocked. He taught me the ways of bulb changing. :lol:
 
My friend and his band (where I will soon be replacing their drummer) will be playing their second concert of Friday but I can't go! Gears ground.
 
My cars battery connectors are corroded and the batteries dead. Tried to charge it. Engine won't even try to turn on. -____-
 
Ah I see. Well all Ivan say is it is a beige 944 which will either be in a garage or outside of the garage as I'm sure he'll be looking at the car tomorrow. I will post pictures when I get around to it, I'm going to sleep now.
 
Accidentally hitting my arm on a PS1 game disc on my floor and cracking it.

Piece of childhood, destroyed. :'(

Things like this are the main reason I can't stand group projects. Something like this inevitably happens. Sorry about it happening to you!
 
I can't fall asleep yet again, my sleep pattern is so ****ed. I'm tired all day but by the time I'm actually going to sleep I'm wide awake.
