2019-02-26 14:37:07 ET The expiration date on the bottle says that the expiration date was in May of last year (2018). It's like an inverse Russian roulette of efficacy. Every once in a while a pill seems to work. I used to use caffeine pills as chemical alarm clocks back when I had a job. If I was going to sleep at 6am or later, I'd take a caffeine pill and fall into a slumber. In about 2 hours, the caffeine would kick in proper and I'd wake up refreshed and ready to head out. These ones, however, are like munching on sugar free placebo. Nothing happens most of the time. It's a CVS brand but it's their NoDoz copy. I've got a different CVS generic. It's newer and resembles Vivarin only with cheaper packaging. I.... I shouldn't listen to William Gibson audiobooks while working on my resume. It makes me want to write a bit. Maybe I'll sell an article to some paper or zine. Some cyberpunk anthropology bullshit. I can usually take on the writing style of whichever writer I'm reading. Probably should dig in to some Mondo 2000. Write a barefaced optimistic early 90s cyberspace prediction-type of article for Wired or something. How hard can it be? What's the word count anyways? And I've the physical copy of the zine. Their printed version is so much worse and so much more dumbed down than their online zine version. It's the difference between Cosmo and the Kama Sutra. I guess what I'm saying I can increase my chances by aiming for lower standards. |
