Ten things every New Yorker does when they’re “working from home”

Everyone's had one of those days when they've "worked from home" but didn't actually do much more than lounge on their couch in loose PJs. If you're one of lucky New Yorkers who are afforded to indulge in such a luxury, here are ten things that will most likely sound familiar.

1. Binge-watch so many SVU episodes that they mindlessly start speaking the intro out loud: "In the criminal justice system..."

2. Spend a solid hour nailing that obligatory, beautiful "hardly working" pic from your bedroom window. With a coffee mug.

3. Think, "Eh. I don't think 11am is too early for a beer.

4. Trek it to the bodega to pick up late morning munchies. Then trek to the bodega again to pick up late afternoon munchies.

5. Head to Central Park (or the park closest to you) and spend the entire time wondering why none of these people work all day.

6. Attempt to cook an actual meal in your strange, unused kitchen.

7. Naps on naps on naps on naps.

8. Start off being super productive before going down an internet black hole, never to return.

9. Spend an hour on Seamless deciding if you want to order lunch or dinner, and then finally you're like “Nah, I’m good.”

10. Send your roommate a text saying, “OMG the apartment is disgusting. I'm gonna clean today.” And then don't clean.
