My dog is a brat because he learned by watching me
Soooo, I survived yesterday's trauma/drama. It was the culminating point of my efforts and pains from the last few months. I got my report to our publishing people, so it's only minor changes until next week when the report actually becomes public. This is after having multiple phone conversations with my insipid teammates and my bulldog of a lawyer that insisted that our use of commas on the 2nd full paragraph on page 8, third sentence, was really a legal problem. NO IT WAS NOT!!!! I'm sure the lady really hates me for being a mean, stubborn brat that won't accept her "legal" changes to the draft that's been hacked over by 15 people (including the attorney twice already) over the last month. IF I COULD JUST HAVE MY WAY, IT'D BE A WHOLE LOT EASIER ON THEM. That's what I wanted to say, but instead, kept my mouth shut and imagined her head exploding all over the receiver. ha hahahahahaha. AND my masters class had an informal presentation, which they demanded that I supply 3 hardcopies of my section and meet with them 3 times over the last week (BTW, I didn't know that until after they had already met, because I didn't get their messages due to my dad being in the emergency room, and the mom exposed to the meningitis). Because I didn't supply them the requisite 3 copies and only emailed them a copy two hours before class, the team "leader" decided to email me reminders all yesterday morning. First of all, my section is completely independent of theirs, so they don't need to know what I'm going to say. Second, their priorities.....this INFORMAL presentation equals about 0.1% of our participation, which is about 15% of our overall grade. So that's 0.015% of our grade. PLEASE, people, perspective here. DO THEY NOT HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO DO???? my GOD!
The end results of all this is that I don't have meningitis. I thought I might have since I had a really bad cold with my head and neck was hurting so badly this last week, but it was just the attorney shoving her way up my ass. Once I removed her and shut up my annoying classmates, I was good. Still stuffy but not fatally contagious. :) Yay!!!
