true story

- When still learning how to submit your score from the 3Dmark11 air run you did the night before you accidentally improve your score so much you go from been a nobody to been in the top 3 in your county and beating andre yang for the top spot in the GPU world rankings..

....when you responsible for 50% of entire traffic to HWBOT on your continent (i'm pretty sad )

 

...when you get an electrician to add a few dedicated 20A breakers directly to your benching room

 

...when you book your flight back home from OC competition the morning you start work and proceed to look like a zombie

 

...when your vocabulary narrows down to 2 or 3 words which you repeat endlessly (EE THAI DHAN)
