Sorry if this is random and unrelated to BL but I need to vent
My friends and I r working on a project and I am so frustrated at them rn. I’ve organised everything for them and they had ONE JOB and I ended up doing it cuz these people have absolutely no sense of responsibility or discipline or organisation. Like, I know we’re teenagers but seriously guys learn to be more responsible.
I realise I kinda sound like a teacher/nerd/geek.
Yeah this sucks. Story-time (advice maybe included lol):
I once had a group debate "project". I did everything to simplify the task; broke down the research and preparation in pieces and took the most difficult pieces for myself. Only for the group members to show up on the day with NOTHING prepared. Not even a piece of statistics much less an opening argument. I was so pissed and my face has subtitles, so everyone, including the teacher, saw and sensed my anger. When it fully dawned on me that we essentially had nothing except for what I prepared, I had to start cussing them out right then and there while demanding they do last minute preparation. Best believe I cussed them out again after the debate in the most disrespectful way.
After that I made sure that in any group work I am involved in I lay down the law before even a single letter is type or written for the project. Hence, a contributing factor to me being labelled as "Perfectionist" in high school.
Anyway, the lesson to be learned is to always be prepared yourself and keep record of everyone's contribution to the project so that if any member is slacking you have proof to show to the teacher or professor or boss so that the member's slackness can be dealt with accordingly.
