Favorite Paragraph

Following is my favorite paragraph from my thesis.  It comes from my acknowledgements page.

To the coding lab: PR, WM, ED, EW, PM.  Thank you for the QT, GE, and HU.  Thank you for helping me to become more proficient at AR, DO, CO, LR, EF, and for providing an escape from my AX and allowing my occasional EX and DS without judging…well, sort of. 

Translation: To the coding lab: Prosocial ('thank you'), Warmth/Support (I love you), Endearment (you're great), Escalate Warmth (you have blessed my life), Positive Mood (It's been fun).  Thank you for the Quality Time (mutually enjoyed time together), Group Enjoyment (fun times together), and Humor/Laugh (the times we have laughed together).  Thank you for helping me to become more proficient at Assertiveness, Dominance, Communication, Listener Responsiveness and Effective Process (facilitating movement through a task), and for providing an escape from my Anxiety (my thesis) and allowing my occasional Externalized Negative (complaining) and Disruptive Process (being a distraction to getting things accomplished) without judging...well, sort of (since coding could be considered making judgments.)

And yes, I am a nerd.
