Call in sick.

After hours of relaxation, you decide to take it even further and call in sick to work. It isn't too bad. They have plenty of workers, so your boss takes it decently, leaving you wonder what you should do with the rest of your day. Then you think that maybe you should visit your friend Paulo. What could go wrong with that? You pick up your phone and give him a call.

He picks up after a few rings.

"Heey! My main man!" he shouts with a laugh. "What can I do ya?"

"You doing anything today? I'm skipping work and just wanna hang out with my buddy."

"That sounds amazing, John. Come on down. I'll be home all day. We'll play some games, have a couple drinks, and just chill. It'll be great!"

"All right. Sounds good, Paulo. See you in a bit."

"Hah! See you too!"

You depart from your apartment and step into your car, starting it up, and then off you go down the block towards one of your closest friends' houses.

Traffic begins to slow as you hear music faintly approaching, and you begin to wonder what the heck is going on. Then you begin to think. What day is it today? Wednesday? You bonk yourself on the head with the palm of your hand as you remember that this street was supposed to be completely busy today due to a huge festival! Thank goodness punctuality is irrelevant today. Who knows how long you'll be stuck here. The cars are moving, but at a snail's pace.
