to do something that takes an hour drive me NUTS!

. In the past 6 hours, I have finished 2, 10 part biostatistic questions when I hadn't even read all the lectures.

My study "partners" are still typing his ONE PAGE summary of a study they searched for for 5 hours.

I googled it and found it in 5 minutes

One guy is here and the other is at his house and they keep calling each other "discussing" the answer when I have already emailed them all my ****.

They are nice guys, but I am about to kick one out of my house and turn the phone off.

Maybe I should just shut the computer down and go to bed, but I'm not sure he'd leave.

I can top that.....ever been behind 3 women in a salad bar line...? Talk about taking forever to do something that should only take about 30 seconds.

I can't believe that *** stayed at our house ALL night. He has a freak'n dog that was waiting at home since 7:00 a.m. earlier that morning.!

At around 1:30 in the morning, I say, "I'm done. I emailed mine to you. Why don't you go home, get some sleep for a couple hours and then get up and finish".

He says, "No. I'm cool"

At 2:00 am, I said, "I'm done....I mean I....am done, I have to go to bed. I can't eat or drink and iI have a biopsy in the morning".

He says, "Cool, rack out on the couch, I'll wake you when I'm done."

Fine. I lay down and finally fall asleep a little after 2:30 am. He's had something else to drink and a beer. I wake up at 5:00 am....I think, "NO F"n WAY." He's talking to himself and on the SAME F'n problem. I've done 3 times the work in less than half the time. Should I get up and just do the question he is working on?"....."HEALLLL NO."

I sleep 'til 6:00 a.m.

I get up. I say, "you're a good friend, but you are a dip-****. Are you done?"

He says, "I refuse to give up.....Yeah, I just emailed it to you."

I open it. I retype it, change it around, fix the grammatic ****, and upload it to our class website and turn it in. I pat his head and say, "I'm moving our trash out to the curb. When you leave (thinking he is about to hit the road....he sent me his problem and has the rest of the homework via ME!) I say, don't hit my f'n trash can when you leave or I'll make you pay for it."

He picks up his keys and heads for the door.
I say, "don't forget your ****...."
He says, "Oh, hell, I'm not go'in anywhere.....I'll never get it turned in on time.(its due at 9:00 a.m.) I am still revising yours...I am the slowest analyst, EVER."

I think, "NO ****? REALLY"

My 3 year old is now up and has migrated to Mac and I's bedroom. She is watching Barney resting only my untouched side of the bed.

I close my laptop and march upstairs.

Mac gets up. Both girls go downstairs. He gets them ready for "school" (basically a playtime type class) and leaves.

Study "partner" still there.
He finally leaves about 15 minutes later.

I really don't think this guy understands the phrase, "overstaying your welcome"

He calls me about 30 minutes later and says, "Hey, next Thursday, same bat time, same bat channel"......

He is the kind of person you have to deal with directly. Tell him point blank that it is time to go and hold the front door open. If he hesitates you tell him I mean now *******.

You have to hit some people over the head wth a skillet otherwise they feign not understanding your hints that it is time to go.
 
New residency in Preventive Medicine. She's working on an Masters of Public Health.

and it's a **** ton of work for just a Masters.
 
Woo!

Slowride, take it easy
REPEAT THREE TIMES

I'm in the mood
The rhythm is right
Move to the music
We can roll all night

Someone was going to say it.
 
I flat out am unable to work with people who are like this guy. He is 1) slow 2) totally lacking any self-awareness at all.

What kind of guy stays at a person's house who has a family and kids? Go home dude. It's called e-mail. You don't need to sit at someone else's house. I had a b-school groupmate who was REALLY painfully slow and had to be brought along on everything, but eventually just have to bowl people like this ever. If people think your patience and understanding has no limit, they'll just keep pushing.
 
Were these study partners assigned to you? Sounds like you'd be better off on your own.

As an aside, are you shooting for A's in these classes? If so, why?
