and it's wave after wave after wave after wave spinning and pulling me down, and it always takes three years, exactly.

i got into this one of a kind school, and i screwed up all my final exams by third grade, like big time. my third year of highschool was exemplary in so little i achieved. i basically stopped playing piano, basketball and didn't study shit, all i did was coding on some stupid black and green terminals we'd just installed. i slam dunked on concours, got straight As the first two semesters, and i was called into the dean's office and almost kicked out the third year after i flunked circuits (ii) for the third consecutive time.

i joined the company exactly three years ago. i got promoted twice, i got two of the largest raises the company has ever granted. yesterday marked my third anniversary in the land of cubicles, i got called into my boss's office and received my notice. i will be laid off in a month if i keep missing the deadlines the way i have done in the past six months.

will you marry me? i'll let go in three years, or your money back.
