Overview
One of your authority figures is going to be a little difficult to deal with today, but fortunately you won't be interacting too much with them. When you do, just smile while you listen to them talk -- and then go right back to what you were doing, the way you were doing it. They'll be all bark and no bite right now, because they are distracted by the people above them (who are giving them grief). Any stress they generate for you is just misplaced frustration.
