"Yeah, things are a bit quiet right now..." Or something non-committal and non-fatalistic. Once I start to get into that mentality of "Well, there goes a shift," or "This shift is fucked..." then I start to give up, and my energy changes. You have no idea when a night might turn around, and you need to stay open to that possibility.
