death by polygon
Apr. 1st, 2009 01:38 amin dividing up the writing for the project we're working on, my teammates gave me one particular chunk on the very reasonable claim that i was the only one who understood it (true). there are two problems with this: i have tried to explain this point to various people at least three times, so my explanation in rapidly devolving into the high points only, in the way a proof does when you've been sitting in it for a week and know it front and back. second, it's mostly a set of precise graphics that make the argument convincing, and i am the person on the team least qualified to make neat well thought out graphics, and the person most qualified to know what graphics are needed. (actual quote: "i'm going to steal a torus off the web and doodle on it in Paint. are you guys okay with that?")
i offered to take on more of the project, and they waved me off, saying i had the hard part so it was okay if it was a small part, which i was a little whatever about, but since the soreness in my wrist has rapidly moved into the 'ice, aspirin, and ace bandage' state of things, perhaps i shouldn't complain.
i am getting quite good at one-handed + one finger typing, though.
