I'm a "good man"

Either you're too lazy to log on to WebCT to get the assignment pdf yourself, or you've been downloading too much porn and it has messed up your computer. Either way, I am not helping you get assignment questions off the web anymore.

Here's what happened:

c says:

hey my good man

Of course I'm your "good man" because you only ever talk to me when you need help.

tim - crazy week ahead says:

heya

c says:

haha could you tell me this week's assignment questions?

tim - crazy week ahead says:

erm

tim - crazy week ahead says:

they're on webct

tim - crazy week ahead says:

i haven't gotten them off the web yet

In other words, GO GET THEM YOURSELF you lazy ass.

c says:

yeah, it keeps crashing on me

c says:

sorry could I ask this as a favour, after this I will leave you alone

Right. Because you don't really know me, and aren't interested in getting to know me anyway. Until the next time you need help. Which would probably be next week. Or when you need some answers/solutions to a problem, whichever is sooner. Then I'll be your "good man" again. I decide to dally a bit, just to make him wait. Anyway, I'm in the middle of homework, and I just want to finish it up first.

tim - crazy week ahead says:

yeah hang on

tim - crazy week ahead says:

i'm getting it now

So I send him the pdf.

c says:

thanks

c says:

wait, I'm not sure if I can open it, could you just tell me

Sending of "A4.pdf" to c has failed.

He cancels the transfer. I am puzzled.

I send you the file with the questions, and now you tell me you can't open it? You want me to send you the question numbers in the book one by one? It's not that it's difficult for me or anything, but hello, obviously you are not telling me something. You say WebCT crashes on you when you try to get the assignment, which I find highly dubious anyway, because if WebCT did really always crash on you, how come you haven't tried to get it fixed yet? And how do you manage to do all your homework and get info about classes?

13.83

tim - crazy week ahead says:

13.95

tim - crazy week ahead says:

13.97

tim - crazy week ahead says:

13.105

tim - crazy week ahead says:

13.113

tim - crazy week ahead says:

you can't open pdfs?

So I give him the question numbers, and I ask casually why he can't open pdfs. I decide that I don't want this to be a weekly occurrence.

c says:

my friend hasn't downloaded that software

Huh? Your friend doesn't have acrobat reader on his computer? WTF?!? It's free, it usually comes pre-installed, and most courses in McGill have some pdf documents on WebCT anyway. You mean he's using a 486 with Windows 3.11 and cannot support acrobat reader?

And anyway, you told me that WebCT crashes on YOU. I assume that it means your computer. I know you have a laptop, because I've seen you play with it in class. And I know you just got it last year, because it's the faculty standard one. But hell, I guess your friend who doesn't have acrobat reader must have a really lousy computer then. Why the hell are you using it?

I decide to be kaypoh and a general pain in the ass.

tim - crazy week ahead says:

and his browser crashes in webct?

tim - crazy week ahead says:

i thought you said you had a problem with it

Suddenly, a flood of replies.

c says:

not on webct, just opening pdf's

c says:

thanks

c says:

later

And he's offline. He must not want to answer my questions. Which leads me to the conclusions that I drew.

Again, it's not so much that I have to help you. It's that you barely know me, and you only ever talk to me when you need help. That's all that ever happens. Every week. Sorry, but I am not your play thing. Go be a parasite to someone else.

Oh, and stop downloading porn lah.
