A remarkable dilemma I must day. Today was the day I had to do my Television Production Final project and set up a 15 minute movie review show. Just as I suspected Murphy’s Law showed its ass today! We had no teleprompter, the video clips weren’t finished and one of the talents’ mic broke during filming. Still through god willing and blessings we pulled it off and I was ready to collapse, why? Because within a team of 4 I did about 70% of the work. I had to hog the ball and carry the team like Jordan during most of the 80’s. I completed the clips the music which was generally the hard work. My teammates minus one did most of the typing which was great even though I proofread. The three of us did out thing and despite our problems today we pulled out. Now left a new problem. The girls confronted me (I was the only male on the team) about the last member who did nothing to help us and was as useful as a shredded sponge during filming. The ball is in my court again. Should we confront the instructor and point out that she did nothing or carry her on or back like a casualty in a war? I’m torn because I’ve been in that same position before and the slack was taken for me; a few times I might say. Those times were when I was younger but I feel they have merit. I have yet to give up my decision.

Oh yeah man, been there before. We decided we were gonna fire this one guy from our team and turn the project in without his name on it...but someone had to talk to him first and let him know what was going on. The team decided it should be someone on the team who had more tact than me and I recommend the same for you because making yourself the lightning rod is too much trouble. Besides, if this is her normal behavior, it will catch up to her if not this time then the next because no one will want to work with her. Either have someone else set up a group meeting to confront the girl, or let it go. You already did all the troubleshooting at the climax, encourage someone else handle the wet work.
