Working with Lousy Workmates
I was reading my laboratory manual in chemistry just seconds ago, and the experiments this second semester are more challenging than the previous ones. There are a lot of calculations, practical applications of common sense, and a hardworking spirit.
The first semester chemistry lab was hellish for me because of I have a lousy workmate. I did all the work: take out the glassware, label the glassware, do the experiment (I do almost ALL of the experiment), write the data, solve for the problems, wash the glassware, and place it back inside the locker.
Let me tell you something: having a shitty partner in a laboratory course is the worst, worst thing you would ever encounter. Imagine that you're doing all the work, and all your partner has to do is copy down what you have written and submit it to the lab instructor. Hoo boy, the hardworking ones do the dirty work while the lazy ones just breeze around.
It is very irritating to have it like that. A one-man team like that is SO useless. If one man does all the work and the other sits down like a queen, that industrious person gets all the experience and knowledge. Then lazy person number two will just ask for the information? That is so BS.
What's more frickin' BS is that when it's a one-man team and you succeed, industrious person A doesn't get ALL the credit, but he shares it. Crap, man, crap.
Needless to say that I am grieving over the way my professor paired me and my blockmates. Some are lucky, some are stricken with plain bad luck. I have learned a lot of lessons in this pair-up, and let me share them with you.
1. Pray that you won't be paired with a loser, a jock, coquettish females, and dumbos. You are the one who is going to suffer.
2. If you are so unlucky to get paired with either of the above, TRY to stay patient as possile. You are smart, they aren't.
3. Lengthen your patience once again as you dictate to them what they are going to do. This way, you're not the only one who's going to do the work. (Although most of the time you are going to be.)
4. Like a horse, you have to hit them in the ass, metaphorically speaking. It's not your fault if you hit the horse to death.
5. If they do not work, reporting them to the professor doesn't make anything better. Depends though.
6. If they do not work, then do all the work. It's their loss though.
7. If they ask what they should do, it's either you act cold or SHOVE THE FACT RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEIR FACES.
8. Once in a while, be nice to them. ONCE IN A WHILE.
9. Remember that you are smarter than them. Tell them that you should cooperate with each other. You lower your standard, they increase their standard.
10. Of course, make parinig. From time to time, scold/insult them. You might want to curse them too, but keep them to yourself.
