You answer the phone.

"Hello?" you sternly spit into the phone.

"Hello! Vlade! This is Vivek Ranadive. Owner of the Sacramento Kings!"

"Who?"

"Vivek Ranadive. Owner of the Sacramento Kings… your boss…" Vivek responds, completely aloof to your sarcastic tone.

"Oh. Gotcha."

"What are you doing?"

"Watching myself on TV. How ‘bout you?"

"Oh, so you heard…"

"Yes, I heard. What's the deal? Have I not done enough for you?" you angrily snap back.

"Oh you've done great, I have all the faith in the world with you! Look in your mailbox, I left you the key to the team. I want you to prove yourself to the rest of the world!" an overly-chipper Vivek assures you. "I'm doing this for you! Go out there and prove yourself. Take charge! This is your team! You've got 24 hours to show the world! At the end of the day, give me back my key, and we can be friends. Make me proud, Vlade!"

Before you can say another word, Vivek hangs up. You are faced with two decisions.

Go with the flow. Treat this as though it were any other day.

Give up. Let it ruin your day.
