“It’s been a long week!” (Me in the middle of Tuesday.) If an Arctic ground squirrel can wake up after months of hibernation and immediately get back to work, you can probably make it through that 2 p.m. work meeting. Just in case, motivational Arctic squirrel offers some tips to survive the day: 1.     Be prepared for anything. 2.     Stay alert. 3.     Take strategic naps. 4.     Scream loudly when danger approaches. If you want to ensure a shorter meeting, do the last one immediately upon entering the video chat. lmage: Oh, that’s just Steve. Or was it Allan? But at least you were prepared for it, right?
