The other day Mr. Bubbles and I went for lunch somewhere. Although the wind can be quite cool, it was a pleasant day and so we sat down outside on chairs provided by the restaurant. We weren't the only ones. Next to us there was a sugar daddy with his thai wife and on our left, a young couple, maybe our age. No big deal, routine procedure. Waitress comes, we order, she leaves again, we wait for our food to arrive.
Randomly, a homeless person appeared behind me from out of nowher and asked us for some change. I am quite non-giving like that. I am more than happy to buy canned food and leave that outside our building, for the homeless to take, but I am not a big fan of giving away change like that. Anyhow, Mr. Bubbles was in a giving mood and gave the guy whatever change he had in his pocket, not caring whether guy was gonna spend it on booze or food. I gave Mr. Bubbles a look, since I wasn't happy about that transaction and so explained why he did and I was fine. While we kept on talking, I heard the neighbor (the sugar daddy one) get REALLY angry about Mr. Bubbles giving the person money and asked us for change as well. Mr. Bubbles didn't hear and I pretended not to have heard. He was being such a dick and entirely inappropriate. I mean I may not agree, but he was sitting there on his fat ass eating an $8 slice of cake and he has a problem with giving someone who can't afford that a couple of cents?
DOUCHEBAG!
PS.: Despite the chance that this might bore people, I will post daily updates on how I am progressing with my thesis, just to overtly remind myself that it is thesis writing that I should be doing over the holidays and not knitting. I will make a list of all the things that need to be done and cross things off, once they have been completed. I shall make this list green, since green is the color of hope and luck.
Thesis list:
- Participant information:
- Instructions
Information sheet- Debriefing sheet [do I even need one or not? MUST FIGURE OUT]
- Stimuli generated: [hopefully 26/06 *grr*]
- 90/180 successfully completed [Mr. Bubbles and supervisor: Work fasterrr, laah!]
- Data collected: [given up to come up with a date, things keep changing ... August?]
- none [*sigh* ARGHH!!! *sweat on forehead*]
- Abstract [Last?]
- Introduction: [done by 01/08]
- Outline [yup, once my method and research are done]
- Research [heart palpatations!]
- Subsections [no frigging idea!]
- Method: [done by 22/06]
OutlineParticipants/Design[Apparently, it's a 2x3x3 repeated measures ANOVA. Now how on EARTH do you calculate THAT?]- Stimulus Materials
- Counterbalancing
Apparatus- Procedure[considering I haven't done any data collection, I have no idea what's gonna happen. This section will rape my ass!]
- Analyses: [done by 01/08]
- Outline
- Calculations
- Tables
- Results:
- Reaction time analysis
- Error rate analysis [I don't even know. I just made that up, but I will have a better idea once I ACTUALLY collected data!]
- Discussion: [does this one have subsections like the rest? Probably.]
