090401 » what gets my beef

10:00pm

What gets my beef? I'll tell you!

I hate group work. HATE HATE HATE!.  I am a good worker.  I went from Lazy to Super efficient over the school holidays, and now I am totally ready to rock.  I have my assignments done before the due date, which was really good because it was expensive running off and paying $40 to see a doctor to get a lousy medical certificate for a late assignment.  That’s right, I was never sick – I blamed it on pms or something.  YAY FOR WOMANHOOD!

Anyway, my beef with group work is that I am doing all the work! ALL OF IT!! And it’s pissing me off.  Because I am the leader of the group.  ME!  I know, I freaked as much as you did when I realised this.  I did not really have much choice.  Its not like I wanted to be the main person.  You see, up until last week we had 5 people, and now we have 6.  4 of them bearly speak English, one of which i think smokes waaay too much pot (judging from his ideas). The 5th girl is negative. I call her "Miss-the-glass-is-half-empty". I get to class (1 hour late – blues clues was on!) and I look around. 3 people turned up.  Ok, so, I recognised two of them, but there was an extra girl there.  So, I turned around:

Me: (points) who the hell are you?
Girl: I'm “Blahblah”
Me: Right. What are you doing here?
Girl: I’m in this group.
Me: Since when?
Girl: ummm.
Me: its week 7 you know, it’s due next week.
Girl: Yeah I know.
Me: that brings me back to my other question – what are you doing here?

Poor girl.  I gave her shit for the remaining 2 hours.  I know, I sound like a cow, but there is NO WAY that she is getting grades for my work.  NO WAY!  She can kiss my arse…not that I'm bitter at all.

Ok I am hell bitter! RAAHH!

Another thing that gets my beef is food.  It tastes soooo soooo sweet but makes you fat (says she who’s stuffing her face with mini Easter eggs as we speak).  I have come up with yet another theory that is pretty good actually.   I even made directions.

1)      What to eat? I know, I will have *insert food here*.

2)      Is it eater-friendly?  If yes, proceed to question 3, if not, put it back and return to question 1.

3)      Eat your food slowly.  You have to do this so your brain registers that you are eating otherwise you end up having. 3.. or.. 4.. or 11 mini Easter eggs.

How to tell if your food is eater-friendly: 

How much work do I have to do to work *insert above mentioned food* off?  Rate on a scale of 1 –5, one being easy to work off and 5 being really hard “straight to your hips” type of food.  Proceed to part B.

How much enjoyment do I get from eating it?  Does the taste equal the satisfaction of that sweet sweet succulent chocky egg?  Again, rate from 1-5, one being totally irresistible and 5 being you’d rather eat dirt.

Then you measure up.  If the satisfaction of eating it is greater than the work-off load, stuff your face.  If the succulency is as big as the exercise factor, make a decision.  And if the exercise factor is greater than the satisfaction, you obviously have crap taste in food, but eat up 'cause it is healthy!

What totally gets my beef is packing.. I hate it!! I am the kind of person who chucks a bunch of shit in a case and plays a situation by ear.  Except, having done this billions of times, I pull all my clothes out and realise nothing matches!! Its so frustrating because I look like a retard, you know?

Therefore, I begin packing.  I chuck the necessities in: 15 pairs of undies, mooks skirt, 3 pairs of Calvin Klein jeans, a casual jacket, a dressy jacket, a couple of woolly jumpers.

“Hmmmmm” I ponder.  I had heaps of room left - time to splurge.  So, I go through my closet and chuck in five tees, three more jumpers, a skivvy, “Ooer a top! Blue or black? What the hell” I say to myself, “pleeennttyy of room!” so I chuck them both in.  More stuff is chucked in then I turn around to zip it up.

“CRAP!” I say, desperately trying to squish all my clothes into the case.  I do a little more squishing, tugging and pulling on zippers.  By this stage, I have gotten used to the notion of taking all these clothes.

“GET IN YOU BITCH!” I scream, jumping up and down on the case, and then it hits me.  WHAT ABOUT SHOES?!

So the episode starts again, this time adding shoes.  The packing cycle is a vicious, vicious cycle.

Does the word “beef” even exist in that sort of context?  It does now.  Welcome to my world.


What I am in love with today:  The song “Tiny Dancer” By Elton John on the Almost Famous soundtrack. I love it! I am going to have its babies.
