Power-Tripping

So yesterday was the first day for the refresher course for my IV Therapy, and I can say it went a bit well despite my lack of sleep and interest in the topic. (I easily get bored, see, unless you crack me up with some jokes or something.) This batch of 93 nurses had to undergo workshop, or a group work and present it afterwards. Unfortunately, I was grouped with people who were, apparently, more senior than I am, and have been practicing the profession for quite some time, in an area where guts matter, in an institution that seem to boast it's the best. Can only shrug at that.

I used to hate group works (wait, I still do) because of too many information or inputs for a particular topic. It doesn't help that the seniors were taking the lead because they were more vocal and seem to be more familiar with the situations. What I hate more, probably, is the way they boss people around and not accepting the more valid points of another. I don't know, maybe it's just me. Why even take the stage or assume the role of a leader or manager when you can't even lend an ear to those who want to contribute for the group? I mean, sure, we're pressed with time, but that's not an excuse to just go with what you want. It's not graded, but it just goes to show how you're over-thinking things, setting sail on your own and leaving the fowls behind. You think that boosts your ego, but in truth, it just reflects how rotten you are inside.
