Our instructor seems to like Sunday deadlines. Frankly, I'm good with that...it leaves me a day to myself. And, if my team were to stick to agreed-to charter rules, our Sunday deadline would be a Saturday deadline which gives me TWO days to myself. Like THAT will ever happen. Why do people agree to terms and then question them after-the-fact? C'mon...if syllabus deadline is Sunday, and if agreed-to charter terms say we turn assignments in 24-hours earlier, then charter deadline is Saturday, so rough drafts have to be done by Friday...it makes sense.

But no...team members question this; 'but I turned mine in on time' they wail... 'On Time' meaning they turned their rough, not reviewed, edited, proofed, corrected, compiled, or approved content in to the team by midnight Saturday. Granted, Saturday IS still 24 hours before syllabus deadline. Granted, Saturday midnight IS charter deadline.

H O W E V E R.... turning in your rough draft AT charter deadline does not allow the team any time whatsover to incorporate your work into the team effort and thus the team effort cannot possibly be turned in by charter deadline.

I called my teammate on this (the one from before...yeah, I wrote about her in one of last month's blog posts) and -- big surprise -- it pissed her off.

Seriously...I want to be done. I so want to not have to do team assignments anymore.
