Here’s a story we can all relate to in some way or another:
You’ve had a crazy day; you’re trying to get 18 things done in the next two hours; you’re running around like a chicken with your head cut off; you haven’t eaten all day; you’ve got deadlines and commitments and not nearly enough time, and… you’ve just locked your keys in your car.
