I ordered a vodka martini instead. The martini was watery, but I was too embarrassed to order a third drink, so I struggled...
...responsibility. So he left his career in computer services and began selling cars, seeing it as a fun way to stay as busy as he wanted while generating some income. But he quickly grew disillusioned with his new job.
