hector_rashbaumAs expected, I finished a nice professional-looking project, made sure to make enough printouts so the rest of the group could read over them during the other presentations and get a handle on what they had to present, even sent an e-mail explaining why I made the backup to all three, even though it was ten minutes before class when I finished up and I didn't think they'd see it...
...and Martyr shows up to class (five minutes late, after the other three of us have gone over my presentation and we're comfy with it), complete (poorly done) project in hand.
And when I go to talk to her to ask if she made printouts of the PowerPoint so we could look it over and not be seeing it for the first time when we were actually up there...and she blamed me for her not showing it to us.
Right. Okay. Tried again, explained that since I had hard copies of my presentation that we could get familiar with, it'd be a better idea to go with mine today so we wouldn't look like a gang of bumbling idiots up there. No dice.
Flaky and Dude try to persuade her to tell the professor our group just isn't ready to go today. Nope, that'll affect our grade. Won't affect it more than the rampant grammar/punctuation issues in the shitty paper she wrote, or that are sure to be in the PowerPoint, or the four of us standing up there like morons not knowing who's supposed to say what or which slide is coming next.
This whole time she's adopted this royal bitch holier-than-thou attitude because she did so much work. Keep in mind, of course, all three of us offered to do chunks, she just chose not to send us her part so we couldn't do chunks.
So I went and talked to the professor, told him I didn't feel comfortable presenting but that she was ready to present and if the rest of the group wanted to go, I'd opt out and take whatever penalties he had to give me.
The rest of the group wanted no part of that. We didn't present today. Martyr was thrilled.
Not my problem.
Got back to the dorm to find this e-mail from her:
I did a presentation and if we decide to go with mine than it is not my fault that u did work for nothing because for the whole time of the project all u did was nothing. so don't complain. ur getting a free ride. peace.
Ohhhh yeah. I wanna leave any part of my academic career in those capable hands. Mm mm yes.
*sigh*
Rant over with, I'm just gonna send her a nice civil e-mail explaining if she doesn't give us a chance to prepare to give her presentation, Flaky and Dude would rather give mine. And I will be nice and civil, and if she doesn't want to be civil back...eh. I'm not the one who's in danger of failing.
