octolilly [through the years]

My Management Policies prof just emailed me to let me know our written case received an A!! *dances* If you think of it tomorrow…please pray for us. Our oral presentation is at 1pm EST.

4 cans of Coke, NoDoz, and hip-hop can keep a woman awake for only so long. I am trying not to be bitter than I have had all of this work thrown at me…I’m trying not to be angry with my group partners but it’s not working.

Let’s see…here’s a list:


– Mark was supposed to reserve a data projector, VCR, and TV. He came back from the Media Center and told us that it wasn’t going to work out simply because we should have asked sooner. I went by yesterday just to make sure he knew what he was talking about and lo, I discover that he didn’t. I reserved everything we needed.

– Nathan I. was supposed to get a room reserved…and couldn’t find a thing. Hmm. Finally, I took matters into my own hands and found a room in Fine Arts.

– I’m the one who has had three + meetings with Wal-Mart management. They gave me 1.) $50 worth of donated merchandise (I chose what I wanted), 2.) two vests, 3.) Ability to film employees and customers, 4.) Wal-Mart bags, 5.) and a job offer in Management! (I casually turned it down)

– Yours truly made all the invitations. Every single one.

– Guess who made all the brochures for this presentation?

– I bet you couldn’t possibly figure out who placed all the pictures into this project and went and had it bound.

– Nathan I. and Mark were assigned the small and trivial role of making the Trivia part of the PowerPoint presentation. I found them in the lab adding pictures of me and Nathan to their slides…and inserting the stupidest questions for the game. I just asked him to send me his final copy (which he didn’t get to finish because he left early) and I totally redid it.

– Mark isn’t doing any speaking really in this entire presentation because he isn’t comfortable with English. Oh darn. (He’s foreign)

– Nathan doesn’t want to speak that much because he’s having to practice for his Principal Minor Recital on tomorrow. Gee, and I should do all your work because of that?

– Aaron works from 6pm-12am each evening so he hasn’t made it to any of our meetings. Thankfully, he and Nathan H. went with me to film the other night.

– Nathan H. has been a help. He is covering the History of Wal-Mart and he’s totally done his own slides and everything. *gasp*

– During the presentation I’m covering the Culture & Community and Objectives & Goals. I’m also in charge of the drawing at the end.

I realize this is just bitter ranting…but it’s 4am and I’m realizing that if it wasn’t for me these guys would not have a project at all. You might wonder why I’m even doing as much as I am…but this project is a HUGE part of our grade and I want to get a nice grade. I am very thankful that we evaluate our group partners though. Heh heh. *wicked laugh*
