featherynscaleMy strategy for dealing with difficult people or irritating situations is to always have a cup of water on hand. The few seconds of sip time allows me to formulate what I'm going to say, as opposed to what I might *want* to say. Also, this gives me ample excuse to walk back and forth to the water cooler and/or the restroom during the day. Liquid in, liquid out. As a measure of what kind of day yesterday was, I went to the bathroom 6 times between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m.
Today, though, could well be better. After all, it's payroll time, and none of the staff tried to take more vacation time than they were entitled to. This is the first time this has happened since I've worked here. Either people are becoming more attuned to the system, or all the really clever staff go on vacation at the same time.
Speaking of vacation,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jackbabalon23 informs us today that there are only 16 days left until DragonCon. There are costumes to be finished, finances to be checked, grids to be examined (hell, has anybody even seen a grid? I don't know), assignations to be arranged, booze to be begged, traded, or bought, buttons to be made, and so on. By my estimation, there are approximately eleventy billion things left to do. Of course, if they don't all get done, that's okay too. Because, you know, this is Fun we're talking about.
