Wee Hour Survival

It’s about 2:30am and I’ve got business to take care of this hour so don’t you mind. The point being that I can’t seem to find any breakfast or espresso/coffee shack in Ferndale. At the drive thru lane, the fine swing-shift people of McDonald’s inform me that they’re not serving breakfast and have no coffee brewed either. At this hour it’s survival mode, and even McDonald’s coffee will be acceptable next to a nice hot bacon-egg’n'cheese biscuit.
Luckily PRWeb has editors 24/7, I login to my instant messenger and see my cohort Thomas Pratt is working this morning. I proceed to strenuously complain to him about the microscopic state of the union. He consoles me as best he can by saying, “i’ve had their coffee…you’re lucky they were out“. Our Utah VP of Social Media Judd Bagley is also exhausted and up at this hour. We parry via email like drunken monkeys then sign off.
Our offices are fully equipped with kitchens, where I find a coffee maker of advanced capabilities. After pouring some grounds and water into it, I end up with coffee grounds soaked in water spilled all over the place. Apparently it’s a little more complicated than my own circa 1989 peculator. I’d try to figure it out, but at this hour with little sleep for the whole week I just try to clean up my mess as best I can and sit down to blog about this.

Green tea works, too — and it’s much easier to make.
Dude, I’ve still not gotten to sleep yet. I can actually hear colors and the USB cables are talking to me. The language they speak is called Bluetooth. Ironic, I know.
Try a Sobe No Fear energy drink. It’s loaded with all kinds of caffine and taurine and creatine. You’ll be awake for days!!
It’s actually quite tastely compared to most other energy drinks out there. But I’m not sure what the long term effects of drinkin that stuff are.
