There's your problem. The only thing group projects teach anyone is to trust no-one, and expect betrayal.

Agreed. Especially in forced groups. One of the group projects I had in University consisted of writing a business plan. I ended up being the guy putting together the pieces and printing everything the day before it was due. One persons contribution looked familiar, so I checked online. It was word for word from an example business plan on the first link google gave. That was a late night rewriting thier "contribution."

Ran the numbers on the first venue...Sweet merciful fuck, Weddings are Bloody expensive!

Say that you want the wedding to be about the two of you, with an intimate and meaningful ceremony. Remind her that she actually hates most of the people she knows, and slide in that having a large wedding is just too damn mainstream (her hipster genes will cringe at this (everyone has them (everyone but I, that is (this is called paranthesiception)))).

Just trust me on this.

Barring that, elope. Throw a party after. Everyone will get over their crushing disappointment eventually. Just trust me on this.

Yes, trust me elope, they'll get over it, been there done that and saved a shit ton of money.

"Honey, what d'you say we skip the wedding and rob a bank instead?"

That's the plot of a Jim Carrey film isn't it? "Fun with Dick"?

No THAT'S just something Assail has while he cries himself to sleep every night, thinking about Goodkind...

What? I cry myself to sleep thinking of Goodkind while having an outrageous desire to rob a bank with Jim Carrey instead of having a wedding?! I'M SO CONFUSED!

Writing a short analytic essay for an ad and I have no idea what I am doing. It's a shoe, there is people playing basketball in the background not much else to it. Not to mention the artificial enforced page length which means I have to be wordy as possible to meet the required size. Sometimes I really think English profs like over thinking things.

I STILL have to do MAJOR design and design-recreation work for this one customer who one of the higher ups is friends with and was told that he wouldn't have to pay for ANY design work. I literally spends HOURS designing stuff for them, and re-creating existing shit from scratch because they can't get the original files from their old designer.

I still get paid my salary (so it shouldn't be any skin off my nose)...but that this guy is getting this much work done for free (which normally would cost him $$$$) and that he demands it fast just irritates the fuck out of me. I seriously have never hated a customer in any of my jobs as much as I hate this prick. He mentioned that they had issues with their last designer....I feel like saying, "well no fucking wonder. Does that clue you in to what a total arrogant asshole who needs repeated nutsack punchings you are?"

Fucking ass.

The way to get job satisfaction out of such a satisfactionless project is to half-ass it until someone else gets it shoveled onto them.

Better yet, conceal subliminal messages in the work such that his entire world shatters around him.

Went through a long peroid of various illnesses which might suggest lowered immunity.
now it looks like I lost 5kg in 6 weeks with no special diet or excercise.

I hope like hell this is just me being paranoid...

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

More than likely you are just being paranoid. This last winter has been HORRIBLE for colds and flu. Also, it's quit common to catch everything when your body is weak from fighting other infections. *hugs*

Got 35% in my group essay wondering what the hell went wrong, hopefully will meet with lecturer soon.

I actually dropped the program I was in because of this sort of shit. Every class had multiple group projects, and the grades from those projects in turn made up the majority of your grade.

Get her a card and a small amount of either flowers or chocolates, tell her you would vastly prefer it to be an understated day and go on from there.

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.
