You can never be too name-dropey unless your name is Matt Pinfield. Try to smile without teeth to look cool like those musicians. And the pep talk writer should be excited that anyone can go 3 years without a dental exam and not be in pain. Also, a good rule of thumb I use is always be nice to someone who can inflict pain on you as part of their job.

My personal trick for dealing with unpleasant tasks: unless someone else will be hurt, I make an appointment with myself to take care of it. Say, next Thursday. Then I allow myself to not worry about it until the appropriate time. It makes for a little less baggage to carry every day, and as often as not, I just go ahead and do the damned thing and feel relieved it is done.
