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?

A doctor's prescription...

Excellent, point, Scott. And yes, I know, this is Ms Pot talking here. We Doctors Three tend to spend altogether too much time locked up in the scary metal place where people only come if they're unconscious.

How about regular social things? I was thinking of suggesting beer (or chosen beverege) and pizza night sometime in the next week or so, on campus so everyone could join in without the little darlings summoning the Four Horsemen or something whilst we were gone. And Harry's sounds wonderful.

Although I really like the Silly Hat idea. Imaging Monet in one of those hats with the propellor on top is cheering me up no end.

Actually, Hank is easily lured out by the use of the proper bait and the promise of a nice fur detangler. Just so's you know. Ask Jamie about the bait itself. He's the one I got the deep fried twinkies from. ;)

Ah, so you two are the culprits...

You know I'll hold you two responsible for the state of Hank's cholesterol levels now?

And people say my eating habits are unhealthy. *shudders* Deep fried Twinkies? Gah.

Ahem. You ever tried to keep twinkies from him when he's in the middle of a craving attack?

I know better. I like being in one unpretzelled piece, thank you very much!

Ah, but back then it was just the ordinary twinkies. Now you've introduced him to these deep fried horrors, there's no turning back... You've created a monster!

Oh, and Hank? Love you, big fella. You know that, right? No spiking the donuts again?

Hey. You're the mad scientist here, not me! I'm just a singer!

Nyah!

My reputation is vastly exaggerated.

No really, it is. Does most of the work for me too. >:D
