    I'm learning to accept absurdity as a way to cope with unpleasant realities. I've also learned that when you distill your day down to its barest essence, it usually sounds pretty funny. For example...

    Today, I spent my afternoon with autistic teens, desperately trying not to fart.

    That was my day. When you look at it that way, it's pretty funny.

      You're right. That does sound funny!

      Do we want the long version, or is it funnier in the short form?
      Seshat's self-help guide:
      1. Would you rather be right, or get the result you want?
      2. If you're consistently getting results you don't want, change what you do.
      3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
      4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.

        Tummy troubles since Sunday. Not funny for me, hilarious for everyone else.

          My sympathies - and some ginger tablets.

            They're making pills out of redheads?
