It seems to me if you can master that trick, the working around, you've taken a giant step toward peace. The expiry date is on everything. I used to hate that, a hate which sat like molten tar inside me, and it oozed out onto everything I touched. Now, I try to not see expiry date as an enemy. I think is just a part of life, and probably regrets it's role as much as we do. The fear, anger, and resentment are things we create ourselves, and could be countered through inclusion and selfless thought.
Go out the spot where expiry is lurking. Coax it into view, maybe with a lint_sandwich and some goat_soda. When it comes out, take your time, get comfortable, and make friends with it. Then, invite it in and find it a comfortable place to hang out. You can even talk to it, learn about it, and enjoy it's company. Imagine how exiry date must feel, being seen as a pariah to so many - it's probably lonely and sad. I bet if you make friends, exiry will not be such a lurker – fear and resentment will give way, and make the time leading up to expiry more enjoyable. You will understand it more, and feel better when expiry finally has to do it's job.
