Is honesty truly the best policy? VIII

Hmm.

Well it's already the holidays for many an NYP student, but for my class, we're still stuck with an M&M test on tuesday (and I'm jamming with Rob, Gerry & Alvin on monday afternoon... LOL) and Jeremy's A2 p-board on thursday.

I dunno. Cuz most of my team members for Jeremy's project have already finished up their rhino models, we're all set to combine our stuff and put it into a p-board before sending it for printing. However, we're behind schedule because one of our team members is lagging behind. Let me just list everyone in the team down:

Crawldaddy: myself (duh), finished rhino model and (multiple) renderings two weeks ago.
H: used to lag, but he's gotten his work together, waiting to combine rendering pictures.
V: laggiest member of the group, serious procrastinator and somehow has distinct love for complications but doesn't know how to solve them.
SP: also a former lagger, now also waiting to put work together.
CL: 2nd fastest in the whole group, can't wait to put everything together. Has almost zero tolerance for V's procrastination and has made negative remarks on V.

While CL, SP and H have completed their stuff, I'm assuming that they are attempting to produce proper renderings for their product. And so far, only CL has shown the proper attitude of working hard in this project (amid all our prior projects etc).

Well, I'm seriously not kidding when I say that V likes to procrastinate. For crying out loud, she's always handing in her stuff late, and unless I'm much mistaken, her social life tends to solely revolve around her church (not that I'm saying church is a bad place to be) and she has a tough stance on bending her personal rules when datelines are tight.

For example, her product is supposed to be something like a sea anamone, and she has trouble trying to create the shape out using Rhino 3D software. When I questioned her as to why she chose such a complicated shape, she replied (defiantly) that Jeremy asked her to move along with that idea.

Here's my take on this issue:

If you chose a sea anamone as a basis for your product's form, and you know that you're gonna have difficulty doing it on Rhino, why the fuck would you have the brains to go ahead in the first place? Of course no one'll help you if you don't know how to help yourself. Don't give me bullshit that by doing this form, it's going to be a challenge.

Could you pull it off in the first place? If you can't pull it off then FORGET ABOUT THE DAMN FORM, and move on. You have the right to change your ideas, and propose them to Jeremy on the basis that you have no idea how to create it in Rhino. However, your behaviour seems to suggest that you are incapable of the humility to do so. Frankly, that's a shitty attitude, gal.

You told me in your letter at the beginning of Yr1 2nd semester that you wanted to be friends. However, your attitude towards meeting datelines and working ethics suggests that you can't give a damn about how your behaviour reflects upon yourself. I try to think objectively when the rest of our classmates complain about your behaviour behind your back, but I can't help but feel in the same way EVERYBODY does:

You are a lazy, unmotivated, self-indulgent person who has no right to demand more time just because you have unwittingly shot yourself in the foot, tied yourself to an anchor and thrown yourself into the ocean. For once, make an attempt to meet the dateline, and don't give me the old worn excuse that you live far away. You are a servant of God, and you jolly well know that God will not help you if you do not help yourself.

Time is running out, and we can't afford to risk our necks for you anymore. If you do not produce that Rhino model by Tuesday, I will not help you create it in Rhino, I will not help you in rendering the model, I will not put your model in the p-board, and I certainly will have no qualms booting your arse from the group becuase of your ignorance and selfishness which has delayed our project beyond discomfort.

My heart is hardening as each day passes, so do not be surprised that when you can't deliver, my heart has no capability of sympathy towards you. Do not underestimate me.


Cheers,

Crawldaddy
