So there's an indoctrination session tomorrow......any tips for getting through with my sanity intact?

Play music in your head, come up with ideas for sequels to your favorite movies, try to solve some riddles, figure out the answer to some paradoxes, think dirty thoughts, eat Indian food tonight so you need to spend most of the time in the restroom, come up with new lyrics for the songs, take a list of all of the errors they make...

Those are some of the things I used to do when I had to attend.

Whiskey in a flask?

I always spent as much time as possible out of the seats and surfing the net or reading ebooks.

Whatever you do - dont listen to the speakers.

What I used to do was to sit alone in an area where no body knew me. Soon as the session starts take a bible and a folder out to make out you have an assignment. Then just walk out the door and go into town. 10 mins before the session ends arrive back and no one will know your gone. But now I just don't go at all.

What Joe 134cd said. Getting some fresh air is always good.

In the absence of PMS issues [I am male] I used to suffer from the sudden onset of migraines- which necessitated me having to take a lot of fresh air, get to a pharmacy for medication - usually in a shopping mall - or just plain go home.

You could try Sudoku - put a Chess app on your phone/device - use earphones and listen to Muzak - doodle - walk someone's baby in the pram / stroller [if you're female] - in my late teens back in the 70's when CA's were 2.5 days and ran until 9 pm at night we used to slip away to a corner shop that had a pinball machine and spend some time there. Also at stadium venues we used to volunteer for the overnight "guard" duty of the site and that meant we could go and sleep during the day time session - usually in a camper / caravan - which could be locked from the inside and made to look very unoccupied from the outside.

For these and the 5 day DA's we would volunteer for kitchen duty which could get you away from your seat for entire sessions [they had the program piped into the prep area via speakers] and this also enabled us to meet le femme's as well.

What are you talking about? 'Jesus' is never mentioned anymore.

Don't forget to add 'spanx' to the list.
