This week, we are thankful for…modern infrastructure (and hot water!). We’ve all been there. You’re chugging along, getting work done, and then—BAM–your internet goes out. Your router fails. Or a freak snowstorm in Texas takes down your power line. (You know, hypothetically…)

How do you keep working? How will you watch the next episode of Bridgerton?

Can you even function?

Losing power and internet and heat and water remind us just how overwhelmingly grateful we are to have all of these things almost all the time. And a huge shout out to the men and women who work so hard to restore our services and keep us connected. They are the real MVPs.
