Red. Box...

I'm not sure I want to call it the red hot box anymore since the questions aren't all that hot...

would you choose to be the worst player on a winning
team or the best player on a losing team?

My first thought is that I'd rather do whatever needs to be done by myself. Team mentality is sort of lost on me - I was never athletic and therefore my only experience with teams has been in school. And the school kind of team is entirely different - a sports team...if you lose...it's just a game (although I think some would beg to differ). In school...if you lose...doesn't that mean you got a really bad grade or failed? And that grade can have an effect on you, individually, forever (your possible employer/college will ask for your transcript). So with school, unfortunately, there is an "I" in team, there are a number of "I's". And it doesn't work.

But let's pretend that I'm playing sports - I think I'd rather be the bench-warmer on the winning team. Because then you can have a party with your team and be happy for their accomplishments. This probably has something to do with the fact that I am not very competitive. I think people that have something competitive in their nature would rather be the best at what they do, even if the team is bad...

I have a headache and a boatload of programming to do. I am not having the most exciting of weekends...although I did meet with my group member (decided he is a low-talker) and have a laugh at the expense of my other group members. That was fun...
