Sitting in the cold, talking to the comforting voice of someone in your family does wonders and stops you from doing something really stupid.

It was around 8PM and we'd just finished testing the LED bars for our senior design project and realized they were pretty much useless. The guy that was supposed to have done the tests and built the bars suddenly decided he wasn't gonna be part of the project. At that point I lost it, lack of sleep, the fact that I was supposed to be home at that time made me get up tell my other 2 team members that I would find this guy and pretty much whip him to an inch of his life.

I went out, it was 35F and I was wearing a tshirt. I called home and asked my sis in law why I shouldn't go and slaughter this ass. Well she talked to me, while it was still freezing cold. Logic somehow got the better of me and I came back and decided it was better to just start working on the other shit that needed done rather than lose my cool over something and screw things up even more.

Cliff notes: if you are ever frustrated and bent out of shape, call someone you know and talk and get it out of your system because you don't want to do something you'll regret in the end.

 

u say "learnt" too? must be a PA thing...h:

 

Learnt = British english
Learned = American english

h: I know I am such a geek.

 

i was corrected by my Senior English teacher on that...throughout my entire Senior project i used "learnt"...had to go back and change it all to "learned"...i was like, damn it! i say LEARNT....but now ive corrected myself and speak a little more proper..((apparently with a PA accent ))

 

Actually learnt is phonetically correct. I am so used to Briit english that I sometimes write whole papers with words like... colour, tyre, etc and my teachers are like :wtf:
