If you want to know how long it took me to compile all of this, well, it took a microcentury or two or three. That's about 52.5 minutes for all of you analytical Clinical Research Associate types. But, then it probably only took you a nanocentury (3.156 seconds) or so to figure out that I've been working a little too hard lately....!
