Team Rules

I hate working on projects in teams. You always have to stress that someone won't carry their weight, and you'll get screwed. So here are a few rules for everyone working on teams:

1. Represent yourself truthfully. If you are going to be a slacker, make that obvious at the start. That way everyone can know up front that they will have to pick up your slack. Also, if you are going to be anal - well I am sure that will come out right away and we can just assign you all the finishing work. Do not pretend to be anal and then become a slacker - that is justifiable homicide.

2. If something goes wrong do not wait until the day the project is due to tell someone. Call us. Even if it is at 2 am! Maybe we can try and fix the problem, or at least start thinking of really good excuses.

3. If you are asking the professor for an extension of the deadline because the project will not be finished in time - tell the other group members. Even if you have to call them at 2 am.

I can't wait for this project to be finished. Thank goodness for nice profs who extend deadlines. Now if I can make it through the week without hurting some group members...
