I hate group projects. Thanks to Robb for his extra hard work on the dvd part of it though! Actually, thanks to Robb we'll get our A and I should just not show up and not care anymore. I am unable to do that though. I care too much about anything I do. Or maybe it's just that I have high standards for myself in every aspect of my life and the dumb country people in my group do not! Well, maybe just one of them is dumb and country, if in fact those are mutually exclusive which I strongly doubt! So without bringing in all of the details of my group's project, which would be boring(EXCEPT THE AMAZING AND EXCITING DVD ROBB CREATED FOR US...I MEAN ME), I will just provide a small example so maybe I can get some sympathy for dealing with this woman in particular- she does have 4 kids and no husband so I do feel bad for her, but judging by her daily appearance she is not doing much to keep her (ex)husband around. She is doing the powerpoint part of the presentation because "she just got this $3000 laptop" which apparently has raised her entire IQ judging by her comments and the fact that she thinks she is a powerpoint virtuoso! Anyway, so the way I had Robb put the DVD together was the way in which we as a group had agreed to present the materials. So we went over our presentation today and the bitch changed everything. Also, the questionnaire that was my idea and the group assigned me to develop was already included in the powerpoint somehow so the 50 copies I paid to have xeroxed were in question as to their usefullness. I provide the preceding dialog to help my case for venting for an entire post:
dumbcountry woman: Wouldn't it be too "monogamous" to pass out the questionnaire and also have it in the powerpoint?
VERY irritated by this point jenn: If by "monogamous" you in fact mean "monotonous" then its your fault you put it in the powerpoint in the first place and I already spent $30 on this presentation so give me my $4 for the copies.1
I really appreciate being able to vent! I feel better! Wow! This journal is great!!!!!!!! Please feel free to comment and make me feel better too!

Footnote:1 I have already had problems with this woman before this. She refuses to acknowledge me in any way, but I can't help it if she's bitter!
