I Work with Idiots

I work with idiots (if I work with you and you're reading this, you probably are NOT included in the group of idiots I'm referring to).

This morning we had a professional development meeting. Our assistant principal divided us into groups, put a person in charge of each group, and gave us an assignment to complete. Unfortunately, half of my group was made up of idiots. This is what happened in my group:

The person in charge read the directions and told our group what we needed to accomplish. Half of my group (the non-idiots) started discussing the assignment, the other half (the idiots) completely ignored us and continued having their own conversations.

After we had held our discussion, we started writing down the assignment (something that everyone was suppose to do). The non-idiots began writing down the information. The idiots realized that they had no idea what we were doing. The following conversation occurred:

The idiots: "Wait!! What? We're suppose to write this down?"
Our leader (a non-idiot): "Yes, write it down."
The idiots: "Why? Can't you just email us the information?"
Our leader (a non-idiot): "No. Write it down. You'll learn the information more if you write it down yourself."
The idiots: "Wait!! What are we suppose to write?
Our leader (a non-idiot): "Okay. The first thing is . . ."
The idiots: "Wait!! I don't have any paper. Can I borrow a pen?"

At this point, I was LIVID!! I know I should take responsibility for my own actions and I usually never make a statement like this, but their idiocy MADE me say a string of curse words. SERIOUSLY - I have to deal with lazy, apathetic students all day. I shouldn't have to deal with lazy, apathetic colleagues (if you can even call them that) too.
