[CAUT] Touch ups.. (and I ain't talking about makeup)

[Jeff Olson]

I find that the best strategy is to affect an expression of utter 
self-importance and confidence when tuning under these 
near-impossible circumstances.  If nothing else, it makes one 
feel better, and perhaps persuades others observing that you're 
actually tuning with the precision possible under normal 
circumstances.

I also occasionally smile knowingly -- you've heard of "smile 
therapy," haven't you, Michelle?
