But Wait!

I was furious. My teammate Mr. J wasn't answering my emails. I sent him a lot; while waiting for his part. In exasperation, I sent him a last email with my part of the PowerPoint that he was to add to him final version and send to the teacher. I still had no answer.
So I worried all morning. I assumed the worst. I thought that he didn't upload anything and that he wasn't going to show up at all. But when I met him, 10 minutes before our presentation, I realised that I owed him an apology. Of course, I didn't apologise because any decent person would have answered his emails. Nevertheless, he had completed his part and the presentation went well.
The lesson here isn't too trust your fellow companions. On the contrary, the worse you think the result will be, the happier you will be when things turn out to be not that bad.
I hate group projects.

  1. Worst thing is when they do answer your emails but still do nothing at all. (Grumble...grumble...)
