When your plans go awry and flies try to get in your ointment, how do you handle it?

It depends on how medicated I am at that particular time… I range from "others are breathing my air, they must die" to "cthulhu is my bedtime story"

Well, I think of myself as composed, but it's always possible I'm a jazz improvisation of some sort.

As for plans--I barely have hopes at this stage.

No problem. Because if you're not composed, you might end up decomposed

I'd like to say I meet with triumph and disaster, and treat those two imposters just the same… truth is, when my VSF subterranean drilling machine surfaced under a unit of enemy elites and ground them to a pulp, I ran outside and did a lap of the building, whooping like a chimp.

I regret nothing.

Glad you cleared that up; all the other attendees at that year's Ayton dice-fest thought it was one of your "less structured" research projects had come home to roost.

You're welcome.

Almost always (other than dealing with inanimate electrial tools). There are a few people who somehow can push my buttons but I usually ignore the ignorant.

My usual response to stress is "The best time to panic is never".

so composed my nickname is Opus.

A decade as a call center manager has left me pretty good at dealing with absurdity.

"Okay, so one employee just evacuated their bowels all over the rest room floor, someone microwaved their cup of noodles without water leading to half the building being covered in a grey haze, an agent left their phone logged in when they left for the night and took 400 calls in one day ruining the teams stats completely and you say your customer thinks satanists are installing tracking devices in her linen closet?

Cool, let me get a cup of tea and we'll be fine"


(All of those are actual things that happened, though not on the same day)

Hafen von Schlockenberg16 Apr 2017 12:17 p.m. PST

Composed?

I'm actually more decomposed. . .

"Composed"? Nope, more like "hummed".
