I have quit the courier thing because for the money it just isn’t worth it and it was hampering my full-time job hunting. I need to make more than 12quid a day if I want to travel Europe! <\/p>\n

I describe it to people as the best and worst job in the world – getting paid to ride a bike, but getting paid fsck all. I just haven’t got the patience to wait until the controller likes me before he starts handing me reasonable amounts of work. Spending large chunks of the 9hr day reading Terry Pratchett isn’t so cool when I should be riding and earning. <\/p>\n

One day I might give them back their nice, warm jacket.. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Anyway, I can be suicidal all by myself – I don’t need a controller telling me where to go. Has anyone blogged their own suicide? Um, don’t mind me, I’m just miserable and morbid right now.<\/p>\n

Arrgh! Whatever! I was riding out from London without my lights (oops, it gets dark before 5pm now and I didn’t think I’d be that late!), pissed on German beer (but riding pretty straight, I thought), covered in frickin’ red and white safety tape by Sophie the bargirl so I didn’t get squished on the way home!! haha I blame El Seano! (another obiwan\/openwin tosser, I mean dosser.. :P)<\/p>\n

No helmet either, because it was taped into my bag and I forgot about it. I’m not dead so perhaps we should ban the wearing of helmets? – they are obviously ineffective. Helmet debate! Hang on, this isn’t a.b? Oh nevermind!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
