1. The first step is to call in sick to work. If you can't do so (because you're not working) or because you're already at work, that's okay, but note that it may interfere with the Full Experience of The Apartment Story Online Game.

2. Find yourself a good grocery-delivery place.

3. Find something to watch on TV. (Note that watching television in the evening will increase the risk—ever so slightly—of finding something half-decent to watch, and may interfere with the Full Experience of The Apartment Story Online Game.)

4. Sit back and relax. Browse the web for things that you can't believe people actually waste their time putting out there. If the phone rings, decide not to answer it.

5. That's it! You're playing! Have fun, stay a while. Close this window when you're finished playing, or click on the Back link.
