I'm a junior in college and today in lab we had to have groups of 3-4 people (first group lab since intro chem). I hate lab groups because i have been doing college level labs since i was in my sophmore year of high school; therefore, the other people are always the weakest link. Well today in lab i was doing the majority of the work (I would have finished the lab in 2 hours by myself (3 hour lab)) and another group member fuqed up the calibration on our spectophotometer right before we could test our product (2.5 hours into the lab). And because of that we had to do it all over again (analytical chemisty means .01% error in labs). Well of course the other two people had class right after lab so i had to do the lab by myself. It took me 1.5 hours (4 hours total) and then i even made the excel spread sheet with all the data and 6 graphs and emailed them to the other people and what thanks do i get? NONE. That's just plain BS. I told my TA today, that i'm not working with groups again this year no matter what and he knew i was pissed.
Ahh venting anger through the keyboard, much better than swallowing it and having it explode somewhere or on someone :Q
