How do you deal with the unexpected?

What the fuck was that?

I expect the unexpected, so nothing catches me too much off guard.

One step at a time.

I overlook it,

The only thing an intelligent human being can do is to meet it Head On and deal with it… other will turn away and run…. and pretend it does not exist… Howver; the problem will STILL be there whenever youa re ready to face it.

Adapt to the situation at hand, and go with the flow. Freezing-up is not a consideration. :)

I pray about it and then go from there.

When you come to the end of Standard Operating Procedures, hit the dirt, lock and load.

Keep three things on hand at all times:

1. Flashlight
2. Toilet paper
3. Fifth of Scotch

@SirGoofy You forgot the DUCT Tape !

I go into self preservation mode which might look to others as me running away in denial sometimes but trust me, there are things that can’t be taken back, can’t be unseen as much as we’d like them to be and I choose to face them either alone or work it together, whatever I think I can handle and still have more to win than lose.
