Twenty-two months ago? TWENTY-TWO MONTHS? Who the f@#% says 'twenty-two months'? 'Twenty-two years' sounds more practical, heck, you could even say 'twenty-two winters ago' to make yourself sound cool and Russian, but months?

That's as if instead of saying 'I'll call you again in an hour' you say 'I'll call you again in 3200 seconds'.

WHAT THE F*#$

Why not just say 'two years ago'? Two years ago is pretty much almost spot-on when you're trying to refer to a time that's 22 months ago, and if you're using months as your time measurement as opposed to specifying the time and date flat-out, then chances are you're not trying to be specific anyway, so you might as well approximate and say 'years'.

Besides, who even keeps track of the number of months? Sure, tons of people keep track of the days of the week, and obviously years (it's more likely to encounter someone saying 'last Tuesday' or 'back in 1994'), but months?

COME ON PEOPLE

Actually, I'm gonna call you again in 3216.621 seconds. Just so you know, that thousandths place does matter.

Spoiler: show
It's actually part of a secret code. Try translating the numbers into letters and see what you get. You'll find the message eventually.

"You are too bright for such marginal work."

First of all, don't pun on my detestable name. Second of all, I've never made good scores in your class, so shut it. And third... I don't have the time for your class. Okay? I'm not going to focus on a class I'll barely pass in the first place. D-.....


Seriously.

Ugh, I've been up for five minutes and Dad is already nagging me about my room. "You said you'd tidy up your room today." "Yeah, I will."

When I get a freaking chance, that is! I still have to shower and eat breakfast and prepare myself to meet my manager. Ugh, he doesn't understand...
