Open Bar MMXIV^2: Solace of Quantum

[Cardinal Pizza Deliverance.]

Spent my morning on the phone with the guys in charge of my student loans. Payment quadrupled. Hooray paperwork time. Work was exciting, minus the part where one of my co-workers quit - the same one that was mad at me for working while she screwed off. Hilarity! Waiting for another round of storms to roll in.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

I'm supposed to be doing research right now. I am probably pretty much screwing myself by fucking around on the internet instead.

As much as I love your company, you should probably get to work.

And also about this. I'll be back!

[Freeky]

Good luck, Nigel. 

Give him The Look, Suu. 

Alty is indeed PUNK AS FUCK, and a bowtie + haberdasher would be a splendid troll for that asshole. 

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

"Questions & Answers in Attitude Surveys".

OMG this is the most boring thing I have ever put into my brain.

[Freeky]

That even sounds awful.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Yeah. Now I'm on to "Testing the Effects of Social Norms and Behavioral Privacy on Hand Washing: A Field Experiment"

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

A 2-part study examines the influence of normative messages on college males' hand washing perceptions and behaviors. Study 1 tests for the appropriateness of hand washing as a target of social norms campaigns and tests messages designed to change perceived descriptive norms. Results indicated that hand washing behavior is appropriate for health promotion through normative influence. Study 2, a field experiment observing frequency and efficacy of hand washing behaviors, manipulates behavioral privacy and normative messages in public restrooms. Results provided no evidence for the hypothesis that social norms should be most influential for publicly enacted behaviors. Messages increased hand washing frequency, length of time water was run, and attitudes relative to control. Across all conditions, poor-quality hand washing was evidenced.

FML.

Dr. Frank is really really really smart. I think that maybe she accidentally overestimates both my intelligence and my level of education... LOL false consensus... 

[Suu]

And then, I was thankful I wasn't a psych major.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

"A Social Judgment Theory Approach to Conducting Formative Research in a Social Norms Campaign"

WHY ERIS WHY

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

I think she has completely forgotten what it's like to be an undergraduate and is treating me like a grad student, ie. giving me more reading than it's possible to actually go in the allotted time.

ANYWAY, LESS BITCHING, MORE READING. I'll be in periodically to complain and derive comfort from the board's continued existence.

[Cardinal Pizza Deliverance.]

I think I got the student loan bullshit sorted. Lord willing and the Creek don't rise.

[Nephew Twiddleton]

My head hurts.

You remember how I said that everytime I try and solve a problem with school at least one more spawns?

My head hurts.

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Remember kids.

Pick your major now, make sure it's a science, and never do drop out. Not once. Especially not twice.

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Don't waste time trying to find yourself, being financially comfortable with a good job can buy you that later. You don't have to be a doctor, but you can't sleep here for the next 10 years.
