8. You're Having A Nap
If you're unemployed or a student which is essentially the same thing you know how important a mid-afternoon nap can be. Days can be a real slug, dragging on for what feels like an eternity. Time freezes, it doesn't want to move forwards. It's practically telling you to go and have a nap time says it's OK. You do not argue with time. A nap can reinvigorate you, especially if you've had an early start, or you're just bored out of your mind. Imagine the scene: you're lying on your comfy bed, the noise of traffic and those poor people who aren't relaxing or sleeping are just about audible outside. But you're inside. You have the advantage, and you are at that moment more superior than any of them. You're drifting off, falling into a slumber, and it feels fantastic. You've almost reached the pivotal point between consciousness and dreaming about Benedict Cumberbatch, when suddenly you're pulled back to reality. It's your phone, and it's ringing incessantly. It's horrible, and so cruel. You fumble around, in a state of total shock and dismay. Even if you answer the phone, you're in no fit state to construct a sentence, at best you manage a few grunting noises. Usually, it's not even anyone important with anything substantial to tell you. At worst, it's a nuisance call about claiming on that accident you never had. But one thing is clear your nap has been ruined. Next time, that phone's going on silent and Cumberbatch is getting your full attention.
