To have a partner? Or to not have a partner? My preference is to not have a partner. "Why you may ask? Why would you want to do the work all by yourself? Why would you want that responsibility? Why do you not want to hang out with that partner--friend? But having a partner means less work. It means more fun on the project!"
I like working by myself. Why? Because I like doing the work. I am one of those "weird" people who actually likes to do most of the work. That is me. I like coming up with the idea and using my idea. I like being able to take full responsibility of the project, to do it my way, and not someone else's way. That is my personality. People always joke about how I will go the extra mile and go over the top on something. Or they will joke that I can never work well with people on something, because I want to do it my way. This is somewhat true. I have gotten into arguments about how to accomplish a project because I wanted it done one way and my partner wanted it done another way. My dad always jokes about that they should never argue with me, because I will eventually get my way in the end. HAHA Dad! (not really)
It is also a trust issue. How do I know that my partner will go home and do his or her part of the project? I don't. If I work alone, then I know that I am getting it done. And if I do something wrong, then I take full responsibility of the fault. I know what I did wrong and later when I am doing a similar project, I know what to avoid. However, I don't want to get in trouble with a project because my partner did not do his or her work or did it poorly. I am kind of a perfectionist, so I like things done extremely well, and done by me.
Plus, if my partner knows I will do the project, then they get credit for something I did. I hate that. It is wrong. Lazy people should not get rewards for feeding off of the prepared and those willing to do the work. That is why I prefer no partners.
