I hate working in groups. Groups suck ass. Unless it’s a group filled with the most bestest people in the whole of the Intertoobs- but they’re too busy being cool to be in a group. So, I’m stuck. In a group. That I hate.
One of my classes this semester is called “Workgroup Productivity”. It’s a required course, or I would so not have taken it. Anyway, we’re supposed to be learning the be productive members of a group. Duh! And since the course in online, we’re grouped with members from all over the state1 and we’ve never met each other. Probably will never meet each other. Anyway, we’re supposed to start a “business” and create a website for said business. Together. As a team. Duh.
So, the prof set each team up with their own forum to keep in contact. We’re supposed to use that for all discussion. Then she posts our assignments. The first assignment is to simply pick a team leader for this assignment, decide what kind of company we’re going to have, make a logo and slogan, and send her a report. Good enough. One dude and me were discussing some options when another dude pops in and says “We’re going to do an online record label and we’re going to call it this. Oh, and I’m the team leader.” WTF?
Unfortunately I’m not beside him so am unable to slap him in the back of the head. Little bastard. I’m sure he completely missed the part where he only gets to be the “leader” (which means squat in this context) for this project. And that we have to rotate. I bet he’s going to cry when he realizes it.
The other guy, by the way, has two websites he’s already developed. One of them has auto-play music and really bad graphics. The other just looks like blog theme without the blogging stuff. I looked at his source code and it was a mess. I wanted to say “Hey, little dweebs, I’ve got my own site too. Check it out!” and then laugh while their eyeballs popped out of their heads. But then my cover would be blown, so I refrained. I’ll have to keep an eye on these “coders” though to make sure they don’t fucker everything up. If it comes right down to it I might drive to their campuses and smack them in their heads anyway.
Anyway, I can see our site now. A fucking black background with white text and auto-play music. I’m ashamed already.
Workgroups Give Me Gas
