David T. Wagner and Christopher M Barnes describe their research regarding the effects of the loss of one hour’s sleep each spring: “In fact, we have conducted additional research that suggests workers with inadequate sleep are likely to be less ethical, less morally aware, more prejudiced and more apt to engage in abusive supervision.” <br /><br />So there you are. Li’l Wayne needs to go down for a nap. Once the little tyke has gotten some rest, the tantrums, the lashing out, the incoherent <br />screaming should disappear. (Don’t forget to put his doll in the crib with him. He can’t sleep without it.)<br />From The Economic Toll of Lost Sleep, Dr. David T. Wagner, Dr. Christopher M.

Who is on it? Faculty? I did not see any faculty but could have made a mistake. <br />Check out the system for reporting a 'dangerous' person to the powers-that-be. <br />Check out the possible aftermath of such a report and action on the part of the BAIT.<br /><br />So, lowering the boom, as you noted would be easy to do by using this BAIT group.Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00061766511145410231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7187403837913738089.post-16334730944803328292014-03-06T12:45:08.480-06:002014-03-06T12:45:08.480-06:00so, as I've posted before, we should bring our...so, as I've posted before, we should bring our issues to the gubernatorial candidates to determine which one will address them properly and to our satisfaction; which one isn't afraid to publicly address our issues. then vote for that person!! and 'it ain't quinn'!! although pumpkin (wayne) continues to say that this is a few professors who are maintaining this fight, it is still a PUBLIC fight in a GOVERNMENTAL institution paid with GOVERNMENT dollars!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13992900065015968050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7187403837913738089.post-74000885238184697922014-03-06T12:20:57.645-06:002014-03-06T12:20:57.645-06:00Just imagine what Mr. Academic Rigor, our caricatu...Just imagine what Mr. Academic Rigor, our caricature of a university president would do in the same set of circumstances. If it were an administrator or faculty member he liked, no problem, lie and cheat all you want.
