There's a school of thought that if there is a crisis, and there is nothing
you can do personally to help with the crisis, your course of action should
be to redouble your efforts to do whatever it is you normally do to
contribute to society, with the idea being that at least that one aspect of
the universe will run smoothly.

I think my digestive system subscribes to this policy. It can sense that
I'm nervous, it can't do anything about it, so it responds by increasing
productivity. Unfortunately, that is not helpful at all.

On that note, I'm off. Wish me luck!
