I use my husband complaining that something stopped working and then me realizing it has been broken for days

On the one hand I'm a volunteer for the Red Cross which is a very satisfying and "in the moment" activity.

On the other hand I put on a mask and pretend to be a dog for a while

I reminisce about the time when I would get a new phone and then spent a whole day going through the settings and tweaking stuff.

Setting up a new phone now is arguably easier and faster but also just boring

Oh you know. Not talking, walking on all fours, playing fetch, getting scratches. That kind of thing.

Woof!

The one thing they can reliably get done is costing more than the value they provide.
