Resiliency in a High-Stress Environment

This session is important. You don't want your co-workers going crazy, especially if they are likely to single you out as the reason for their troubles since you happen to be the supervisor.

Perhaps the highlight is when the presenter declares, "You are statistically more likely to be killed by your roommate than by an insurgent." Somehow, this is not comforting, even if true. We're also told that the best exercise to relieve stress is sex.

Postscript, 30 minutes later: I find out my roommate assignment - it's Mullah Omar. There are all sorts of ways this could be bad. I can't help but wonder - how will this be tabulated in the statistics?

  1. Again I have to defer back to the Fairy Boat Captain.
    And, am most certain you will find a way to block me from commenting.
    You could, of course just tell my Mother on me, but I feel safe trusting that she won't "get" any of my comments and therefore...who'm I kidding? She'd beat me if she could reach me.
