Good work!

As for me, I found drinking alcohol at the end of every work day relaxing, pleasant, and therapeutic. But, ultimately, pointless. ☺

Good work!

I spend money on an iPhone about 7 years ago. Now, I buy the cheapest phone I can find, and avoid all the fancy, high-tech models. And I'm happy!!!
