1. Voiceover yourself well
Fix your attitude with the help
Don LaFontaine, THE movie voice. Intone the first line of the movie trailer of your life to show how - in a one-minute montage - any problem can be solved.

"In a world where the early bird gets the worm - one man is late."
Problems with work (for me, lab equipment).
"In a world where nothing goes right - they pissed off the wrong man."
2. Pirate Psychology

Evil Dave maintains that it is impossible to remain depressed while speaking like a pirate for 15 minutes. I've tried this strategy through pennilessness and hospitalisation, and he is correct.
