I guess I hope your summer goes by quickly and you get back to a regular schedule?

Sometimes it helps if you sort of laugh about it. I remember reading a book where so many things were going wrong the team decided to just assume more was going to go wrong and look for it to. They ended up practically rolling on the floor laughing, tears streaming down their faces when the plane was late AND the luggage was lost, etc. such that all the people who were apologizing profusely for causing problems, etc. were very puzzled. You just have to take some of it in stride, poop happens. No harm was done in being a few minutes late; there are "fail safes" in your plan (the employee called you, the alarm went off, etc.).
