Brief Explanation

A young woman sits at her desk, eating lunch. She's pleasantly interrupted by a 'friend request' alert on her smartphone. Her delight turns quickly to dilemma when she realises the request comes from her boss. What's the right thing to do? The sparse drum beats and cymbals soundtrack her thought process. Should she obey social media etiquette, accept and move on, or reject and endure "the awkwardness"? It's indicative of the way modern life can tie us up in knots as we search for the right thing to do (we hear the woman's internal wranglings as she deliberates). She eventually decides to delete her account. Life is complicated; but choosing Tesco Mobile, officially Ireland's most recommended network, isn't.
