Summarize the following:
Some telemarketers find it helpful to smile while they are talking with customers. This will usually make you sound friendly and more approachable right away. Aim for the same kind of tone you'd use with a friendly coworker. Use words and phrases that convey a positive message, such as, "great," "perfect," "of course," and "my pleasure." If you are calling executives or other professionals, you'll likely reach an assistant or secretary first. Use these opportunities to demonstrate your professional nature and friendliness. Go through an abbreviated version of your script with the gatekeeper, so that they'll understand why you are calling and how they can help. For instance, instead of stating that you will call back at a certain time, ask the assistant, "When would be a good time for me to call back?" This lets them know that you value their opinion and time. If you speak with a caller who is rude or angry, it's a good idea to remind yourself that you are likely not the cause of their emotions. They might have had a bad day. It's possible that they don't like getting calls at a certain time. These are things that are out of your control. What you can do is move on from that call the minute the customer hangs up and start fresh with a new one. If a caller makes you feel uncomfortable or is particularly rude, there is nothing wrong with saying, "Thank you for your time" and ending the call.

summary: Keep up a friendly tone. Be polite when talking with assistants or other gatekeepers. Don't blame yourself for other people's bad reactions.

Swallow the smallest recommended dosage with a large glass of water. A precautionary regimen of pain relievers will reduce your chances of being woken up with a splitting hangover headache. No amount of pain pills will save you from a hangover headache if you get blasted to the point of blacking out. It's best to just try not to overdo it in the first place. Don't mix Ibuprofen and alcohol if you're allergic or have ever had an adverse reaction to the medication under normal conditions. Nibble on something sweet, like a piece of fruit, granola bar, or a few peanut butter crackers. Wolfing down a quick snack before retiring for the night can be a lifesaver, especially if you didn't eat much before you began enjoying your spirits. Apples, bananas, and other grab-and-go fruits are a perfect pre-doze treat to maintain healthy blood sugar levels without filling you up too much. Pass on overly sugary, oily, or processed foods. These could dehydrate you or unsettle your stomach while you're trying to sleep. Once you've got a nutritious snack and a couple Ibuprofen on your stomach, refill your glass with 812 fluid ounces (240350mL) of water and drain it completely. Make sure you finish every last drop, and repeat as many times as needed until your post-party thirst is quenched. Chances are good that you will have urinated one or more times since deciding to call it a night. Chugging a little H20 will restore vital fluids and help ensure that you don't dry out. You'll then have a ready supply on hand if you wake up thirsty at any point. Remember, staying hydrated is one of the most important parts of recovering from a night of drinking. This is no less true around bedtime, especially since it will likely be a few hours before you take another sip. Consider putting your water in a flask or thermos so you won't end up with a soggy mess on your hands if you happen to clumsily knock it over. Make it a point to use the restroom one last time prior to tucking yourself in, even if you don't feel like you need to go. You probably will before long, so you might as well limit the number of unnecessary trips you're forced to make later on. Ideally, you should situate yourself somewhere that's close to a bathroom. Count on having to pee at least once during the course of the night. Don't be embarrassed if you have an accident. It doesn't mean you're a not a big boy or girl, it just means that the body has trouble controlling the bladder while inebriated.

summary: Take a couple Ibuprofen when you get home to prevent headaches. Have a small snack to continue speeding up the absorption of alcohol. Drink a few more glasses of water to make sure you're fully hydrated. Leave some extra water on your bedside table just in case. Empty your bladder before you lie down.

Summarize the following:
Don't suffer silently. Talk to a friend about what you're experiencing. Sharing your pain will help you feel better, and create an opportunity for your friend to offer additional emotional support. Telling a friend about being bullied will also establish an ally who can help you avoid the bully and create a buffer when avoidance isn't possible. Talking to an adult doesn't mean they would intervene. If you would prefer they didn't intervene, you might tell them you'd like guidance, but you want to try handling the situation yourself before adults get involved. They could be a family member, school counselor, family friend, or a coach. This will put the bullying behavior on an adult's radar, so they can intervene in the event you are in over your head and establishes evidence should you need to file a formal complaint in the future. The adult can help you decide when it is time to formally report bullying behavior. Online forums are a good way to share your experience, if you are too embarrassed to talk to people you know. Many forums have experienced members who may be able to offer encouragement and suggestions to help you manage your situation. This also creates an opportunity for you to support others who are victims of bullies and may be a source of new friendships.
summary: Tell a friend. Tell a trusted adult. Tell your story anonymously.
