High-Stress Emergency Situations
Time management experts say that in a crisis, one needs a detailed list of steps for survival. For instance, if you’re in a bunker in the remotest part of Antarctica and your power goes out, the steps might be:
1) Find the nearest wall. Put wall on your right.
2) Walk five steps forward. Turn right.
3) Walk three steps forward.
4) Open cabinet.
5) Flip circuit breaker.
6) Go drink some hot chocolate.
I wonder what a list would look like for someone who is moving across the country in three weeks AND STILL HASN’T PACKED ONE SINGLE BOX. Whatever it entails, that last step better have the word drink in it but it sure better not be hot chocolate. I’m thinking of a drink that starts with “sc” and ends “otch.”

“A person reveals his character by nothing so clearly as the joke he resents.”
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
(1742 – 1799)
…I just like this quote.
