If, after having been exposed to someone's presence, you feel as though you've lost a quart of plasma avoid that presence.
You need it like you need pernicious anemia.
Don't like to hear the word "vampire" around here...trying to improve our public image.
Build up a kindly, avuncular, benevolent image.

Interdependence is the key word.
Enlightened interdependence.
Life in all its rich variety, "take a little, leave a little"...

However: by the inexorable logistics of the vampiric process,
THEY ALWAYS TAKE MORE THAN THEY NEED.

Avoid all fuck-ups.
You all know the type.
Anything they have anything to do with no matter how good it sounds turns into a disaster area.
Do not offer sympathy to the mentally ill.
Tell them firmly:

I AM NOT BEING PAID TO LISTEN TO THIS DRIVEL.
YOU ARE A TERMINAL FOOL!

- William S. Burroughs
