How to deal with this?

is this going to be a major issue? I'm hanging horizontal drywall in my kitchen and the tapered seam lines up with the bottom of my countertop outlets. There are 3 on this wall like this. is it going to be a major PITA to finish this? I'm a drywall novice so I'm not sure if there's an easy(er) way to deal with this. My walls are fairly short (93 inches or so) and if I use a full sheet on top this is the result. if I use a full sheet on the bottom the seam just ends up at the top of the outlet. my other options that I can think of are to cut both sheets of drywall so the seam ends up dead center on the outlets or hand the first sheet so that the outlets aren't anywhere near the seams and then have a seam above the first sheet and a seam below the first sheet. What do y'all think? i have 2 more walls like this that I haven't put drywall on yet with a total of 12 boxes to deal with at the same height. thanks!
