I have now worked in three places with My deepest commiserations! When our cool, phlegmatic ST Dilwyn starts using lots of asterisks and exclamation marks you know it must be real serious! Better call in the bomb disposal guys before the bang devastates large swaths of south-western UK. Dilwyn, what I often find quite effective in such situations is to inject 60cc of concentrated Prozac straight into the cerebellum and lie down in a darkened room to the soothing sound of whirring microdrives. The mantra GATE-SKILL (a meaningless phrase) muttered repeatedly under ones breath also helps to relieve tension in extreme cases. (However, it is normally a good idea to switch the latter off before resuming normal activities as a malignant interpretation of it might get you into trouble with the Terrorism Act.)
