kaiserkuchenFor bitchery and completion's sake, and so that I can also start forgetting how unpleasant and vaguely humiliated I felt about this, a quick recounting of our UE PR group meeting today!
Lena, one of the girls who along with old swede dude said per email they were pro-Medienanalyse method was early. So I started chattering to her a bit about my plans for the meeting, since I figured I had an ally of sorts in her. But little did I know that once we were all seated, all the fuckers would PULL A FUCKING MUTINY ON ME. "I really think a Befragung would be a better method!" "Oh yes, I agree, it would much better serve our purposes!" -- and to my objections of how last minute this is, why nothing of substance was presented during this whole week if everyone was so gung-ho for it, how crap we would look in comparison to the other groups, how much more ahead they are and what a difference it would undoubtedly make, were basically drowned out. And it now sounded like I was the dick who didn't believe in the group (WELL YOU GUYS DIDN'T REALLY GIVE ME MUCH HOPE TO WORK WITH), who was the killjoy disturbing everyone's hilarious time, the pedantic asshole who kept writing emails that no one would read anyways (thanks for that info by the way, Sven C! Like that was such a surprise, coming from you). And to make matters even better, as if my current position in the group wasn't already teetering on the edge-- Wido, who was sitting on the mezzanine above us, decided that it was hilarious to throw his balled up sugar packets down at me. THANKS FOR THAT LAST PUSH INTO LOOKING EVEN MORE LÄCHERLICH AND PATHETIC DUDE, SERIOUSLY IT WAS JUST THE FINAL TOUCH OF HUMILIATION THAT WAS MISSING.
We did manage to bang out some questions and divide the labor in the hour and a half of the meeting though, the others will be doing the actual asking Favoritener their opinion, and this other chick and I will be analyzing the date and typing up the end report. All in all, a favorable end to this steaming crap mound (for now). I guess I've learned that it is just too much to wish for, having a group project that can be efficiently decided per email (we can work together, it's been proven! But why not a few days earlier??). And I've had a refresher course in how ~wonderful~ it feels to know that one has united the group in basically viewing you in contempt and condescension. I mean, I'm not looking for new BFFs in this group either, but ohh, the feeling still rankles like hell.
UGHHHHHHH that felt good to get out. Off to look at spam/porn to cheer me up!

Date: 2009-03-31 07:59 pm (UTC)AND YES. THAT. That 'well caring about grades is for LOSER SQUARES' mentality is something I will never get. And that particular *eyebrow raise+smirk* that goes with it, ugh! I got enough of that bullshit in school already and it really made me sick of it then already.
(The best part is also how you are effectively unable to really say anything along the lines of 'WELL WHY WEREN'T WE ABLE TO DO THIS EARLIER?? WHY??' because if you say anything that now isn't directly related to specific group stuff, they don't listen to you anymore. A++)

Date: 2009-03-31 08:22 pm (UTC)Fuck them. I'm so glad I got to work with a friend for my last project. We both also blocked people who tried to join our group a week before deadline! Sorry, you snooze, you lose assholes.
P.S. Where is that post with your address? I'm home now, so I'm gonna send that postcard I promised ages ago ._.

I keep telling myself that this is awesome practice for one's future workforce experience, but with the slight bonus of being paid for your efforts and bouts of hairpulling and headdesking rrrrage lollll
