When did rain stop gloabal transportation?
This upcoming Wednesday is the last night of my enviromental class. We have a 5,000 word group paper due, a wrap-up group paper due, and a group presentation (via a slide show).
Typically every group meets before this final week to finalize everything, and my group had made plans to meet Sunday at 7pm at Panera. I get a call at 6:30p, as I am walking out the door. One of my team-mates calls and tells me she has just driven from the middle of the state and the rain isn’t getting any worse. It was raining at my house, but it wasn’t a hurricane or anything outside.
I had informed my team that I wasn’t able to meet Monday or Tuesday….so she decides that she can’t drive the extra 3 miles in the rain to Panera. The shitty thing is that I ALWAYS put together the team presentation, simply because I have a Mac and Keynote 3, which makes some of the most visually impressive slide shows I’ve ever seen. It is certainly more entertaining than the shitty PowerPoint drivel everyone spews out every class.
They tell me they might meet tonight (Monday), when they knew I couldn’t make it (I’m working at Starbucks). Sorry, I just felt like ranting. Pisses me off that I am being excluded, when I am the one that will make our group succeed.
