So I thought that I had some pretty cool people in my new lab. Until I spent an entire week at a conference with them. 8 hours a day listening to lectures, then lunch and dinner with them also. One of the 3 people hasn't made me want to scream yet.

One, I will call him B, is always right. And I don't say 'thinks' he is always right because then he would at least have some doubt. I'm not sure that I have ever been this wrong so many times in my life! And it's over stupid things too that have nothing to do with anything. And a few times now I have proven him wrong but he just stops talking then or keeps going on about how he doesn't believe whatever source I used! And my feeling is, I'm here to LEARN. If I knew everything, I would be a freakin' doctor, not a grad student. And if you already know everything, then why are you here?! Whenever anyone says something wrong around me I try to turn it into a learning experience, hopefully for both of us. But this guy, he just says "nope, you're wrong" with this condescending voice and look. Urgh!

Then the girl, I will call D, she is just so freaking spoiled. She flat out said that she has no aspirations to ever learn how to do her own taxes. She is 23 and her dad still does everything for her. I don't even know why she is in grad school because she doesn't want to do anything for herself. She takes pride in the fact that she has helicopter parents and takes pride in the fact that she can barely do anything without her parent's help! She drives a car that they bought her, they fly or drive 13 hrs to visit her constantly, they handle all of her phone, car insurance and taxes. She didn't even know what a Pell Grant was!!!!!!!

Oh my god. And Dave said he was going to ask me if I wanted to invite them all over sometime this weekend to hang out. I feel bad because I want him to meet them and strike up some friendships but I need a break from these people! How can a person be soooooo arrogant?!!!!
