Hi GerberDaisy,

In such situations I think it's best to just show up and be very calm.

I also have a possibly kookie idea. It's going to sound strange, but I mean it as a serious suggestion.

Go to work as usual, but pretend that you are an emotionless android version of yourself (maybe like the HAL 9000 from 2001 a Space Odyessy or Mr. Data from Star Trek). Pretend that you are purely logically doing your job and observing your job situation and working environment in order to report back to your real self.

Carry a secret token with you to signify that you are really an android. Practice a slightly flat, totally calm voice kind of like this one



You'll know you've taken the analogy too far if you lock your colleagues out of the building and won't let them back in like HAL did
