Unexpected Situation

Something out of the ordinary happened at work today.  When I encountered the situation, I had a good idea of what procedure to follow but wanted a second opinion to make sure I was following the proper guidelines.  Well that second opinion turned into a third opinion.  The third opinion took the situation and blew it completely out of proportion.  The third opinion made it seem like the world was about to end.  I learned a valuable lesson today.  Always go with my first mind and don't bring others into the fray.  Everyone I work with is not calm under pressure.  Some people crack at the slightest hint of pressure.  Some people can only deal with the norm and cannot handle an unexpected situation.
