"Tokorozawa fuzoku, side-job work" — some people hear that and it clicks; for others it doesn't. I figure both kinds are reading this.
I'm 42 and still out walking the floor of this world, so I'll lay it out from a real-world point of view.

ElonAfter the phimosis surgery and the pearl implants, I carry a real confidence now — like I'm "fully prepped." My range in the room widened, sure, but the bigger difference is the mental ease. To anyone agonizing over getting work done: do it, you won't regret it.
