Today, I finished a 6-part project. It took me 7 hours of straight work because my partner decided I should do it alone. I then learned that the reason my partner did not help me was because the teacher e-mailed the leader of every group, saying the project was cancelled. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I finished a huge project for work. It took 3+ days and I was very proud of it. Except when I submitted it to my boss, he said that he'd already asked another person to do it. He used that person's project, not mine. FML
Today, I found out that the huge project I've been working on for the past week is actually a group project. Everyone in my group knew. They were just letting me do the entire thing by myself because I'm "smart". FML
Today, one of my colleagues was asked to rewrite an entire project, which I wrote last week. I'd spent more than 4 days writing it. FML
Today, I spent most of the day doing a project for school. When I finished, I got a call from my project partner. She couldn't finish her part because her internet didn't work. When I finally finished everything, I went on Facebook. She was on Facebook too. FML
Today, at school, everybody wanted to be my partner for a project. This surprised me because nobody ever wants to be with me. Turns out when I was absent, my teacher promised that whoever was my partner would get extra points on the project. FML
Today, I had a huge amount of work to get through. Two colleagues offered to help, because one had nothing else to do, and the other couldn't work until I was done. My boss got really pissed at me for "making" them do my job and wasting their time. FML
Today, we were all put in groups to make a presentation together. And by "together" I mean I pulled an all nighter to finish it by myself. My group criticized my work. FML
Today, after working like a caffeine-fuelled thunderstorm for 9 hours straight on an art project, my 2 friends informed me that it was due next week. I slept for 10 hours, and then went to my class without my project, thinking I lucked out in the long run. Clearly not, as it was due today. FML
Today, my class had a group project. The teacher allowed people to opt to do it alone. I, an introvert with crippling social anxiety, was the only one to do it alone. I still finished before everyone else, with an A. The other students called me a "freak" and many other names, simply because I work better alone. FML
Today, I had to do a presentation. No one else in my group showed up, so I had to do it alone. I was given a failing grade for presenting by myself, and therefore not being a "team player". FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Explain the situation to your teacher and see about extra credit?

Do you not check your e-mail, or even communicate with your partner? Surely he would've told you it was cancelled.

you should contact your professor and do 2 things. 1. see if you can get extra credit for the assignment. 2. see if your professor will email your 'partner' with an even more difficult assignment on Friday night that is due Monday. then when your partner tells you about the assignment say 'fool me once' I'm not falling for that again then have your professor email him Sunday night saying ya I canceled this one too. boom!

Why the hell didn't your teacher just e-mail everyone? A project being cancelled is generally news that every single member of a class needs to know! Your teammate is shitty but so is your teacher.

Not necessarily. At our university they also only informed only the group leaders, because they expected us to be mature enough to handle projects on our own.

That deserves being stabbed in the neck with a pencil.

Can it carry over for something else? Why the leader? Not everyone

Dude...always ALWAYS have your school email up when working on a school-related project. It's helpful.

Dude, learn to read. OP implied that the email was send to their partner. The partner didn't tell OP anything.

that was really mean of your partner to not tell you. and your teacher should have emailed everyone. that is so not cool, I'm sorry OP
