Some options...

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

...to address the recent tendency of staff members to lock themselves in their rooms, before it turns into an epidemic.

1) Enroll the staff member in some sort of relaxing extracurricular activity. (Yoga? Some sort of meditation? Air hockey?)

2) Declare Funny Hat Day and enforce it scrupulously. I suspect it would be very hard to brood if, say, you saw Jamie Madrox wearing a moose on his head.

3) Reinstate regular visits to Harry's. I'm beginning to think that some of us spend far too much time within these walls.

4) Have a half-dozen of the staff member's favorite students serenade the staff member. Preferably with show tunes.

5) Establish a buddy system. If you detect any danger signs, implement one of the above. If we don't keep each other sane, people, who will?

Any thoughts?
