Everyone’s been there. It’s been a rough day doing nothing. You're just lying in your bed, watching some dumb, yet vital, show and contemplating if you have the strength to order delivery. 

Suddenly Netflix stops. 

Now you contemplate, “Do I get up and return to binge watching some quality programing, or do I lay in bed and figure out how I got to this point?”

We say a resounding no to both options. Instead, opt for the only real choice: crawling and hanging off the end of your bed to try and reach your laptop to hit play. 

Good job, you’re the real hero of this scenario. Now all you have to do is muster the strength to go open the door when the Seamless arrives.
