Some guzzle the sludge

in order to be more "effective" at their job.



Some drink it

in order to simply stay awake.



Neither care so much for the quality

so long as it "works".



On the other side there are those who must "experience" coffee.

A simple pot of coffee in the breakroom cannot do.



They will research...

"Mom! Mom! Wake up!"

The day struck her on top of the head. Sleep threw her off the soft bed and onto a concrete floor. 

"Mommmmmmmm."

She used to sleep in all the time. She didn't begin waking up early for the sake of Cameron, although that was one benefit. Instead Victoria...

On the drive to her house he felt how little control he had. She had picked him up from his apartment. She had taken him to the neighborhood to stake the house across from where her friend lived. And now it was she who had driven them way out into...

I believe I've written about a mere 100 lines of code at work in the past four months.

But it's been some of the busiest months of my life. What have I been doing then, if I am a  developer after all, at work if not writing code?

He wondered who would be at the cafe as he drove there. He likely would not have come, if it weren't for Hazel. Not that he was meeting up with her there. That would be creepy. He was no longer in high school or college. He was no longer even...

He grew up on stories with a good guy and bad guy . When his friend raved of a new movie they'd seen, he'd always ask, "what's the good guy like?"

Darth Vader and the  green power ranger were the first bad guys that he liked. He looked up to...

The sky was blue and the breeze perfect. It felt like he was on the coast of Hawaii . Such weather made him wonder whether he ought to go on this trip at all.

But the path was already set. He had purchased new sunglasses and a six pack of Hawaiian...

I could finally understand why he had wanted to write a  graphic novel back in  college . They were like a  Netflix show, but on paper. I thought of him while flipping through the pages, feeling the sheets against my fingers.

"I can feel what you said."

"That must mean it was...

"PT!" Zach shouted in glee as PT arrived in the lobby sipping the  apple juice . He still didn't think of it as his apple juice, but rather that lady's who was staying upstairs.

"Hey aren't you forgetting something?" Zach asked.

PT made a face to signal that he didn't know what...

A barrel of  oil apparently consists of 42 gallons of crude oil. Refineries then yield that into about 20 gallons of  gaosline . Of that my Hyundai has consumed about 5200 gallons going by the mileage, my driving patterns, and fuel efficiency.

That means this car, at my and my family's...
