C8-H10-N4-O2

I read somewhere once that coffee affords this country millions of hours of workplace efficiency.


Today, I believe it. A few minutes ago, I was nodding in my chair, bench-pressing my eyelids, and straining to hear approaching colleagues so I could arrange my face into some semblance of consciousness and not totally humiliate my somnolent self.

Xanthine alkaloid to the rescue! A quarter-mug of bitter fluid later, I am bright-eyed, bushy-tailed, and ready to take the workaday world by storm.

Excuse me. I'm feeling a surge of productivity coming on.
