Group Work... Gotta love it
07:36 PM
NOTICE: Hyperdot may be experiencing service interruptions in the next week, as we are changing hosting providers. So if I’m gone, don’t fret (which I’m sure you won’t, anyways), because I’ll be back.
Whoa, is been a long time since I’ve updated. There hasn’t been much in the forefront. It is however that time when people, including myself, begin to feel really bitter and moody.
BITTER ENTRY ALERT
The moodiness, when intermingled with uncooperative group members, makes for an ultimate poisonous sitation. I think I can look behind the events that have occured this week. But I just have to say one thing: It is really true, if you wanna do something right, you have to do it yourself.
Yes, I admit, I am a bit of a control freak. But I believe that I’m a control freak for a good purpose, for the purpose of the team— especially when no one likes to take initiative in project things.
My marketing group has especially let me down this week. I don’t mind and am willing doing extra work for the team, but if you do volunteer to work on something, the group trusts that the work *does* get done. But no, I have to scramble in the last few hours before the project to fill in the parts that weren’t completed. Which of course made me run to class, and beg the prof to not enforce any deductions— since it was 15 minutes late.
Ugh, I seriously have issues working in groups. Because it just ends up having a few people picking up the slack for the others.
Hmm, I think this isn’t something to put in a resume. Don’t tell my boss.
But whatever, the work is done. I’ll put it behind me. That will be my last rant about that.
UGH, it also doesn’t help when the roommates are being annoying. Or maybe my tolerance is just wearing thin at this point. UGH. That’s another story in itself.

In other news, don’t forget to switch your clocks when you sleep tonight (Saturday). There is a very informative website about the history and rationale of Daylight SavingsSaving Time. Within the site, there is a great flash image that illustrates the different changes at different latitudes.
ADDENDUM:
Goodbye Pope, we love you.

It's no wonder you and Shima like working together so much.

I miss working with Matt. :(
Plus, I can probably count the number of times I saw you this term on two hands! :(

did i tell you i had a dream where JasonT was a serial murderer?

Daylight savings sound like a strong investment...

Ram and Shima (or maybe "Raima"):
I KNOW, Shima is the ultimate partner in crime. That is why we've been coined TEAM SUCCESS. Haha
Jason:
Thanks J, doesn't it sound like it needs an "s", even though it makes no sense. :S Although that website I recommended is right, we're not exactly "saving" any time. "Daylight Shifting Time" is more appropriate.
Tiff:
Whoa, better watch out for Jason. Maybe he'll use his GIS power and track you down at Wilmot and wipe you out.
Yeah, Daylight Savings sounds like a great investment. I can just hear my mom saying something.
"Forget GICs and Mutual funds! Daylight Savings is a good buy!"
or maybe...
"Want to open a daylight savings account. Earn more interest!"
