"Rain"

[So I bet you're wondering why this is here. Today. On not-Monday and not-Friday. Well the short story is... human bodies suck, and/or I suck at schedules. :c Been thinking about stopping. Or taking a break. Brain has been kicking around other ideas, too. But the body problems are the bigger problems, I assure you. It's just that the body problems often push and tug at the creative problems, too. It's almost like... I'm using one to avoid the other... or something... >.>;;; ANYWHO... fluff with some drama for crunch. I am nothing if not dedicated to my self-designated ship. :v ... I am… goin' back to Cali'… only naw, not really… … Still, I persevere. See ya on Friday, my tantalizing ten-ton Tonys!!]

The Art of Self-Distraction

It's 2:30 in the afternoon and you're stuck in quite possibly the most boring meeting you have ever been to. You can't get to your iPhone, and you've exhausted all of the possible rhyming combinations to the word "orange". There is no coffee in sight. What do you do?

Never fear, corporate warrior: here are five tips to get you through that next meeting like a pro.

Distraction Tip #1: "The Tom Selleck"

Let's face it: imagining everyone in the room around you as naked doesn't always work out. You might be cruising along, but all it takes is one quick look at Bill from accounting and suddenly your brain is seared with images it was never meant to process. Don't take that risk; instead of the full body undress, focus on the face. Start imagining how the presenter would look with different facial hair. (Tom Selleck's man-stache is a good starting point). Keep your gaze on the presenter- your unusual focus can be written off as attentiveness. Remember- focus is good, spontaneous laughter is bad.

Distraction Tip #2: "The Lint Ninja"

There is a piece of lint on the sweater of the girl sitting in front of you. You must acquire that lint. But here's the catch: you cannot pique the attention of said lint owner. If it helps to sing the Mission Impossible theme song in your head then do it-just make sure you aren't humming out loud.

Distraction Tip #3: "The Fight Club"

You have to get out of this conference room. Unfortunately all of your co-workers are going to try to kill you. What's your plan? Look around you for possible means of defense. Stapler? Might not cut it. The boss's set of golf clubs? Now we're talking. Don't underestimate the quiet ones.

Distraction Tip #4: "The Buzzword Bingo"

This one takes a little bit of preparation beforehand. Make a list of popular corporate buzzwords such as "profit margin" and "empowerment". Arrange the words into a bingo grid and you're good to go. Note: don't yell "Bingo".

Distraction Tip #5: "The Paradox"

Try to come up with as many paradoxical situations as you can before the meeting ends. (Example- "If you went back in time and killed your father, would you instantly cease to exist?") Warning! This game can result in complete mental shutdown. If that occurs, grab a coffee and play a few rounds of Angry Birds.
