I find that the best strategy is to affect an expression of utter self-importance and confidence when tuning under these near-impossible circumstances. If nothing else, it makes one feel better, and perhaps persuades others observing that you're actually tuning with the precision possible under normal circumstances. I also occasionally smile knowingly -- you've heard of "smile therapy," haven't you, Michelle?
