INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Trace the biggest oval that can fit onto a 9 inch by 12 inch (23 cm by 30 cm) piece of cardboard. Position it so that if you draw a line across the short direction of the oval, that's the same direction the cardboard is corrugated. This will help you fold a hinge in the middle of the oval so that the mouth can open and close. Place the rectangle of cardboard on a scratch-proof surface, like a cutting board. Hold the cardboard with one hand, and with the other, cut around the circle with a utility knife. Always cut in the direction away from your body, to avoid accidentally cutting yourself. The sharper the blade, the easier it will be to cut through the cardboard. It's possible to cut cardboard with scissors, but you'll need heavy-duty cardboard scissors, not the ones you use for fabric or paper.

SUMMARY: Trace an oval onto a piece of cardboard to make the mouth. Cut out the cardboard oval with a utility knife.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Any time that you give a negative answer, you should prepare yourself for a negative response. Expecting your coworker to be disappointed or even angry that you said "no" will prevent you from being surprised by their response. It is important to maintain civil reactions to other coworkers even when they are aggressive toward you, so that there is no violence in the workplace. If your coworker becomes upset, remain calm. Do not react to them in the same way that they are acting toward you. Staying calm can also diffuse a situation. When someone gets upset, other people acting the same way adds fuel to the fire. Practice things to stay calm like speaking slowly or even removing yourself from the room. Keep in mind that sometimes, people are not understanding when others say no, and they may be giving you an ultimatum. If you say no to a coworker, they may be so upset that they won't ever be willing to work with you again. Decide ahead of time that you are OK with this. If you know that saying no to a particular coworker will mean losing the relationship, decide how you will react to this. Will you let it go without discussing it further, or will you tell someone like your supervisor or boss what happened? If you find that you don't want to burn the bridge, perhaps you should work with the coworker to find a way to help them that works better for you. After you have finished an interaction where you had to say no to coworker and they reacted negatively, find someone to talk to about it. This will help you understand their reaction so that you can do your part to not make them angry in the future. Sometimes you can't help the way people react, and you have to be OK with them getting upset. Find an objective third party, like an HR rep, a coworker in another department, or even someone at home. The goal is to find someone who will not gossip about it and spread rumors at work.

SUMMARY: Expect them to become angry. Remain calm. Understand that you may be burning a bridge. Process the interaction with an objective third party.
