I’m gonna call it a minor win

I spilled Coke Zero on my laptop again so I haven’t been able to use my keyboard, have to use the on screen keyboard, this has made posting blog updates near impossible, I’m currently posting via my phone but even that is a challenge given how quickly my battery runs out.

About a month ago, I was on the bus to work, it was a Friday night, I was shocked by the vast numbers of underage teenage girls getting on at 9pm, it’s absurd how far as a society we’ve fallen but it’s the hypocrisy that gets me, loads of 13 year old drunk girls in skimpy clothing coming back from a night on the town and yet somehow they’re the victim according to the media.

While on the bus, I also so a driver speed passed my bus and server around traffic only to crash, the driver was white, car was stolen and he ran off when the driver came to help him, I wouldn’t be surprised if he got away with it, the police only seem to care about crime when the alleged criminal is Pakistani. I’ll post a couple of pics below.

There’s a new guy at work, he’s 28 and reminds me of the quirky guy, he likes Magic the Gathering, wrestling, MMA, can’t drive, is quiet, is decent looking and well dressed. We can chat for over an hour at times. Though there are days when we haven’t spoken at all, I think it’s because I don’t want to risk having a bad interaction with him, recently he’s also sat next to my Polish co-worker, a row away from me, too far to communicate with him. It may be for the best, his reaction to me showing him black Aragorn from the new MTG Lord of the Rings set was concerning, he gave me a look.

I’ve been watching “You”, I can see why people kept recommending it to me, the main character is basically who is was about 10 years ago, and in the last season when he compartmentalised parts of his personality, is me now, I guess. I think my personalities are Poleaboo, the malicious sprite, Monica White, the sassy queen and Amrit Singh, the dimwitted Pakistani jester.

I’ve continued my house hunt, I think some places have blacklisted me or just don’t want Pakistanis buying property in the area, I resorted to look up some fixer uppers, they’re not exactly cheap, only a slight discount on a ready to move in one. I’ve got my eye on one this week but it’ll surely go over the asking price but got to be in it to win it. The worst experience I had so far was when the estate agent followed me around the house as if I was just some random person that walked in off the street.

The big story of the last month is that while I was at work, this one guy, been friendly with me since I started, very loud, been working at the company for 19 years, in his 50s, always says hello to me or at least he used to. The guy came into my office, music was playing in the background on the TV, he changed the channel to BBC Asian Network and went “dingi dingi dingi” and didn’t a Pakistani accent, I asked him to stop, he did it again and then said it sounded like a taxi in here and left, there were a few more details such as him trying to fish for reactions from my co-workers but it doesn’t matter, I put in a complaint to HR and my manager and he was immediately suspended and I believe may have been terminated from the company, I heard he works elsewhere now, might have just quit. I got an email from HR confirming they believe my take on the events, so I’m mulling over taking it to a tribunal to see if I can get some money for my pain and suffering, I’ve read stories online and this seems very similar, I’d settle for 50K. I feel like some coworker’s are annoyed at me but I enjoy the peace and quiet. Besides, I did feel some guilt at first but no one cares when my friend, the ginger guy got snitched on and fired so why should I care that their friend got fired and sure the guy was nice to me but he was still a racist and I don’t want to be “one of the good ones”, I don’t want or need the approval of people like that, he was a racist before meeting me and he’s probably even more of a racist now, except now he has to live with a Pakistani actually getting one over on him.
