There are a whopping 24 hours in a day, but only your piddling two arms to get everything done. Today's Groupon gives you the power of four arms with which to carpe that diem: for $18, you get a month-long Silver Package (a $37 value) from AskSunday. AskSunday was featured on NBC's Today Show and named the Number Two Website of the Year by Time Magazine in 2007 for its ability to put personal assistance in the hands of all.
Allowing you 15 requests over 30 days, AskSunday's Silver Package lets you coordinate your day with 24/7 assistance accessible through email and by phone. Possible requests include such tasks as booking flights and restaurant reservations, making online purchases, scheduling appointments, fetching general information, wake-up calls, and reassuring your mother that the family chili-cornbread recipe is safe. Your 15 virtual requests (AskSunday defines a request as "a short, consumer-related task to be carried out via the phone or Internet on your behalf") will be attended to for roughly 20–30 minutes, after which you'll get a full report on your request and its results.
More useful than a Magic 8-Ball with massaging magic fingers, 15 instances of AskSunday's around-the-clock assistance will keep you abreast of your busy life even during the most stressful month (usually Stresstember). It also ensures that you won't be forced to apologize to your estranged butler, Jenkins, after that frightful row over the cracked monocle you found in the conservatory.
The Silver Package gets you 15 services, and each additional service costs $3. While you do not have to continue your membership after one month, you will need to cancel your membership to prevent automatic billing for the next 30-day cycle.
