Don't you just despise faulty instructions?

TO CALCULATE A RELAYED (or paired) T-TEST

Using the mouse hilight both columns, and select: Analyse-> Compare Means-> Paired-Sample T Test

It's 9pm on a saturday night, I still have a discussion to write after I finish analyzing my results (Which I can only do after I analyze my results) and this report is due in on monday. What the fuck? Just what the fuck?

I am ill, how can I be expected to fucking do this when the fucking instructions cannot fucking do fucking what they're fucking meant to fuck fuck fuck fuck do?

I should be in fucking bed, not in the library dealing with this PIECE OF SHIT.

That's happening to me a lot in chemistry, resulting in me "overshooting" During titration and the chemical turning dark red.

well, most of it is me not listening.

I am trying to do inferential stats on the data using, curiously, the statistics program we've been trained to use but haven't been given instructions on how to use to get the output we want, so that's another few hours of time that'll go out of writing the most important part of the report.

That's okay, being frustrated and bored makes me irate and in need of conversation.

It's a T-Test, do the fucker manually. Not as convenient as software doing it for you, but it least it doesn't require a non-existed menu option.

Or use a different piece of software. Or just come down here and give me a hug.

It's working today for some obscure reason, I managed to finish off the rest of the result section in two minutes.

I suppose I haven't really got anything to rage about...but...well

I hate Research Methods & Statistics. Only part of psychology I dislike.

Thankfully, we've learned how to do most tests manually so I don't have the hassle of silly software. Not done T-Tests yet though, and won't be doing them till Uni, I'd imagine.

You should be learning how do to T-tests manually as part of your coursework this year.

DO NOT FORGET HOW TO DO IT LIKE I DID, IT IS EXTREMELY USEFUL LATER ON!

I don't have coursework, exams only. Welsh board ftw. Downside is they're really really pedantic about certain questions.


I can do U-Tests, Spearman, Chi Square, and another 1 whose name I forget.

That T-Test is a lot of BS. I do hate it when the tutors move the deadlines days around, it really does annoy people.

What would that make you? It's too late in the evening to be Peppy and far too early in the night for you to be Slippy.

Go do a barrel roll.
