DOG.

dam shag. before i start blogging about anything esle, i wanna blog aka complain abt a dog in 1 of my proj groups. i knew this group wouldnt take the initiative. so i decided to undertake the responsibility. i sms-ed everyone on monday to get their work done and sent to me by friday 10pm.

i reminded everyone again on wednesday during our lesson. i undertook the responsibility of splitting the work and getting them to send me the work. and i was even prepared to do the coverpage, content page, executive summary, introduction, complilation, formatting, editing, appendices, binding, references.

and just when i thought everything was going smoothly? theres always a DOG in the group. theres a saying that goes like this... 'in every group, theres a dog' - Amos Ang. how true. LOL.

so everyone got their work sent to me. 1 sent me on thursday night. 1 sent me on friday afternoon. 1 sent me friday evening. and the DOG? he wasnt even at home when i reminded him at 9pm again!

no chance given already. his was the least work too! no chance already. i got my work done. i formatted, and editted a bit. and did the references. and straight away emailed to him and told him to get the rest of all that things done.

oh and btw before u think im a bastard. i did tell them the consequence of NOT sending their work in. and that was they would have to finish it up.

i was good enough to coordinate, divide up the work, and was prepared to do all finishing touches as i listed down earlier on. BUT the DOG apparently cant even get his work done.

he still can sms me saying 'must i really do all that? i dont think i can complete leh. i have a busy weekend ahead'.

guess what i replied? 'ya, no choice. u have to settle it. either that or find someone to help u loh. i also not free. thats why i said send all the work to me by 10pm'.

this kind of ppl. must insists back one. i was willing to do SO MUCH MORE. but u cant even get ur part done. not my fault already. i warned u of the consequences. i gave 5 days notice. i reminded again on wednesday. i even reminded 1 hr before the deadline aka 9pm. but he's not even at home!!

so, too bad. aint my fault. i even sms-ed the other 3 guys the 'new' situation. and they all understood frm where i was coming frm. i gave them an escape route. the DOG didnt want to take it. he thought the escape route will still be specially opened for him.

aint gonna happen baby. aint gonna happen.

im a nice guy. but im not stupid. i gave sufficient time. sufficient reminders. i was even willing to do the work. but im not gonna wait up all night and burn mid night oil just cause someone thinks im gonna wait up all night for his work.

worse come to worse i still wont fail this subject. if he doesnt do the work. im gonna write into the lecturer already. this kind of dog dont deserve my sympathy.

even 1 of my grp members said 'i hope he doesnt pull down our grades'.

man i could go on and on abt this kind of irritating dogs. but i shant.
