In general, I've found that I much prefer staffing cons to just attending them most of the time; the staffers are a couple of sigma older, I have something palpable to do, etc. I had wanted to do that for this con, too, but anxiety kept me from doing it.

One of the good/bad things about this round of funemployment is that all my mental/emotional chickens have come home to roost and I can't easily shove them away like I have in the past.
