    Default such a waste

    Have you ever been involved in a situation where you've dumped a lot of time and effort into a cause and you don't want to go through with it, even though it's the night before, but you have this feeling that the payoff will be terrible and will require more work and more effort to get?

    Tell me about it.

    It sounds like someone is dissatisified with one of her academic assignments!
    I believe in the power of humanity.

    I wrote a 70-something page script (essentially a full-length movie) for a project that I no longer want to do because the main person has become kind of a jerk. Luckily he's so unreliable that it doesn't matter that I've given up on it.

    I ran for the student government for next year and I won a position and now I will have to do a lot of work and I'm like "why the hell did I sign up for this?"

    Oh, opening night jitters ?

    Everyone has them. I hated all my co-stars guts before opening night, after the first show we were best buds again

    When you put a lot of time and effort in a group thing the nerves are bound to get frayed and the egos are bound to clash... If you can avoid killing each other before opening night though, it usually is worth it

    I'm not sure the math lesson I taught today was worth staying up until 1am last night working on. Fifth graders never ever shut up.

    Wow no. There's many reasons I did not want to do it, but stage fright was not one of them. It was more like the whole thing was abhorrent and I hadn't wanted to do it for a couple of weeks beforehand.

    Oh I didn't mean stage fright. I meant that "I can't stand those people any longer" feeling you get when it gets close to the premiere.

    It is quite normal on a play or any big project where lots of people are involved. Working on a team project gets more stressful the closer it gets to "prime time". Tension builds up, people start to get on each others nerves, little disagreements make you mad as hell...

    Hopefully your play turned out well for you, in spite of your misgivings

    I put a lot of time into creating a decent guild on Gaiaonline.com, and then people joined and never posted, or they quit, or they simply didn't join at all.

    I did the same with an MSN group dedicated to RPGs, made it public, told online friends about it, 3 people joined and never posted. I put a lot of work into that too.

    Please don't say "because it's crap", because I have done the same things as other people have with different subjects. I just can't be bothered to make communities that have a range of interests because nobody damn well bothers. Why? Because I have better things to do with my time.

    Does graduating university with a degree you hate count?

    Cause if so, that's me.

    I considered switching majors, but decided it would take too long and cost too much, so I trudged through the last couple of years and now here I am graduating this Saturday in something I hope I never have to go into =/
