Ultimatum

We were supposed to be doing this microprocessor design in pairs, but my partner has had the habit of not showing up about half the time. Maybe more. Like yesterday when we were supposed to meet with Dr. Smith and give him our progress report. Making his absence really obvious, as it had been at the progress report meeting last Tuesday.

So today Dr. Smith began class by announcing that my partner and non-performing individual in another pair would be working together from this point forward.

This was a bit of a surprise. I had been hoping I would be able to get some work out of him. On the other hand, I had also found that I was making more progress on my own and doing most of the work anyway.

So did you get another partner?

No, I did not. I've been putting in lots of hours and I've got it working. It's even working correctly. And I'm ahead of everyone else too.
