Let me set the scene for you:
Mid-term season.
Group lab report due to be "handed in" online at 11:59:00pm today.
Group has 3 members.
10:00pm: get home from night class, knowing that I have to help the group finish the lab. The discussion section needs to be completed. The lab needs to be edited. I need to eat a sandwich.
10:15pm: finish jam sandwich and start searching for references for the lab.
10:20pm: group member-1 calls. He says he is having trouble with his girlfriend and will not be able to help us complete the lab.
10:22pm: I get a hold of group member 2 and we decide how to split up the rest of the work.
11:15pm: I send off my half of the work to member 2.
11:35pm: I receive member 2's half of the work.
11:40pm: We begin to edit the lab together, on the computer and over the phone.
11:50pm: We decide that the lab is complete and that it is time to "hand it in" online.
11:51pm: my internet browser has frozen ... moment of silence on the phone.
11:52pm: in the midst of panic, I manage to open a new instance of the browser. I open the website to send the lab attachment.
11:53pm: I attempt to click on the "add attachment" button ... nothing. It doesn't seem to work. We are now desperate for ideas.
11:54pm: over the phone, member 2 and I agree that I should send the file to him as an email attachment.
11:56pm: email is sent.
11:56pm: member 2 saves the file to his computer.
11:57:40pm: file is attached, sent and handed in from member 2's computer.
11:57:45pm: Relief.
