An update on the Group Project from Hell. I posted that I was going to submit our stocks and pick for a report at 10 p.m. last night if I didn't hear from anyone. I posted what I chose. I log in and there's a different guy, hadn't been there all week, wanting me to pick some different ones. Oh-kay, nice of you to show up. I accept his choices, I just want to get this done. Then he messages again that "these are the ones I submitted." What? It's ONE submission. Turns out, the idiot didn't completely read or understand the project and thought we were each supposed to pick our own stocks-why he thought I was posting all these messages, I don't know-and he had already submitted stock picks. The fact that a message comes up and says "are you sure you want to submit? You are submitting on behalf of your entire group" didn't click with him either? Idiot. Oh, no, I don't think so-part of the project is picking diversified stocks, and this idiot had all pharmaceutical companies, with Apple and Walmart. So we get that straightened out, and I suggest one of our 10 to do a report on. He wants me to explain why I think that's the best choice when Walmart will make more money this holiday season. Again, he didn't read the assignment. You are supposed to write an evaluation of the company, over the years, using balance sheets, income statements, information on competitors, etc. It has nothing to do with whether it's stocks is going up. Well, I wasn't really asking him, I was past the point of being nice and willing to compromise, and resubmitted our choices, with a note that the submission from earlier was a mistake, etc.
It was by that point 11:15 and this was due at midnight. He was the only person of my 3 groupmates that showed up-not even the asshat who posted yesterday morning.
