Excerpt:

A sign taped to a wall in an Athens hospital appealed for civility from clients. "The doctors on duty have been unpaid since May," it reviewed, "Please respect their work." Patients and their family members glanced up briefly and proceeded, solidified to such messages of gloom. In a country where about 1,000 people lose their tasks each day, legions even more are still employed however haven't seen a paycheck in months. Exactly what used to be a deviation has come to be commonplace, and those who have tasks that pay on time consider themselves the exception to the guideline. To the casual observer, all could appear well in Athens. Traffic still hums by, restaurants and bars are open, people drink iced coffees at warm walkway coffee shops.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
