The only thing I can suggest is that in my experience when I'm having a rough time of it, I usually need a perspective change (not that attaining one can be particularly easy much of the time)...but then again I like cruel and bizarre social engineering games...
How about quitting a project 'out of the blue', and with that, dropping the project-group as a stone, because you're the only one in the group who has in-depth technical knowledge?
That's what I did this week. How's that about a cruel and bizarre social engineering game?
The backgrounds of the other students of the project group were completely irrelevant to the subject. I didn't have any influence on how the project group was formed in the first place. Ah well, maybe I myself was being subjected to a rather cruel social engineering game... :lol:
Anyway, continuously explaining why this or that can or can't be done, the impossibility to answer in a nuanced way (because they won't understand it) and the impossibility of getting the necessary nuanced information from them, took it's toll last weekend.
I can be an asshole, yes. But only when people demand impossible things from me.
But I don't like it being an asshole. Far from it. :cry:
