I’ve been super busy lately with school and I’ve been caught up in my work but it will be over soon and I’ll be FREE!
So, here is the problem. In our program we have a print competition where we submit four prints and compete against one another. The images are scored based on the technical aspect, presentation and so forth. I wanted to attend print comp and write down the marks for every print just for my information and see what the average was. This is just my curiosity and I wanted to do it. Later people found out what I was doing and they asked me to write down their marks and all that stuff and inform them on their mark. So I agreed to send this Excel file out to everyone so they could find out their mark earlier. I absolutely did NOT have to do it but instead of having 20 people messaging me at once asking for their marks, I sent it to everyone. I accidently sent it to last years group of photography students (2009-2010) instead of this years group (2010-2011) so all the second years got a second e-mail and the first years only got one. In the e-mail I wrote how I messed up and said that if anyone has problems, send me en e-mail and ask, no big deal.
Well I was informed that there was a couple of first years (and a few second years) bad mouthing me because of the e-mail. Saying why did I send to e-mails and so on and so forth. Someone said why did I write “bitches” in my e-mail blah blah blah. So I went back and looked at my e-mail. My e-mail was perfectly fine and very polite. It was ONE thing: When it came down to mine getting judged, I wrote a little dialogue on how my print came down to judging and I wrote
“60 vs 90 (Homer vs Petro) Petro loved it, Homer didn't get the paint, Hillier would of scored higher without paint, they all agreed no paint would be better) PETRO GAVE ME A 95! Bumped me up to an 82! BITCHES!”
Bitches…really? They took it seriously?! If anyone got a really good mark they would of said the same thing or something along the same line. I can’t believe how inconsiderate some people are. I did something nice for people and a lot of them said thank you and called me awesome and that’s great to hear. But to hear someone say bad things about me just angers me so much. Who the hell do they think they are? That’s nice that you also wrote down marks through the whole print comp but you did that because you volunteered to. I did this out of curiosity and on my own time. So what if I sent out to e-mails? You didn’t have to read the second one since you already had it. Anyone that said bad things about what I did can just go suck it.
Thanks.
