More of bike riding right here. I was wheeling my way home from work and to avoid bumping a curb I turned to ride up a slump of grass when BASH! I just flew right over the handle bars, landed on the side of my face, hurting my kneck,my feet caught between the wheel and the bars. I was just lying there unable to move for like two minutes. I thought I'd broken my kneck...and no one stopped to help. People looked, laughed, beeped horns. It's another example of how terribly wrong and frightening the general public are.

I entitled this Falling Down for two reasons:
Uno - I fell off my bike
Dos - A reference to the Micheal Douglas movie of the same name, in which he loses his mind.

The call centre =, the customers, are all driving me mad. I am so angry at how rude people are. I got called a 'fucking whore' the other day. This member of staff was calling his manager to complain about his pay or some shit, so I tried transferring him, I tried every extension, and no one answered (this is very common) so the script goes like this -

Wanker: So what are you gonna do then?
Me: Excuse me?
Wanker: How are you going to get me through to the store?
Me: I can't, you'll have to call back later.
(EXAGERATED SIGH)
Wanker: You're bloody useless you lot are, why can't I just ring straight through to the store?
Me: You just can't, it always comes through us so we can take the heat off the store for problems we're able to solve from here, so they don't have to take as many calls from customers.
Wanker: I'm staff
Me: I know
Wanker: Give me the direct number then
Me: There isn't one
Wanker: Bloody ridiculous
Me: I don't like the way you're speaking to me
Wanker: WHAT?
Me: You're being very rude to me, I don't like it
Wanker: I'm not being rude, I just want to get through
Me: I'm sorry, even if you called a direct line, no one would alswer
Wanker: Well, I didn't mean to sound rude I'm just frustrated
Me: That's ok, I'm sorry, I'd be frustrated too
Wanker: ...OK I'll call back, bye then
Me: Bye
(as hanging up)
Wanker: Stupid fucking whore

I could have killed. I have people talking to me like this ALL DAY. I take around 160 calls a day, and about 10 per day are delightful normal people. That's a disgusting amount of horrid people in this horrid country.

I have always wanted to move to Japan. And so, another reolution, I am going to start Japanese lessons ASAP. I found a place to learn them, just have to start. Going to start njext month, become Japenese/English translator for Nintendo and play videogames all day and hang out with Haruki Murakami and Miike Takashi.

Still not much writing going on that I don't delete straight away, still no word from my best friend in China, getting really worried about him now.

Today I shall write, in the sun! Outside!

Oh yeah, I'm off work by the way, on holidays, yayayayayaaaay!

Amii
