Taking a/the fall
Hi all,
This is my first post, maybe my last. I just felt like writing how i feel, so i feel a little bit better tomorrow.
Something happened to my life, so i am taking the plunge into this world. This is my first. So like any man that does his
homework, i scoured the pages, absorbed all knowledge, make calculations and debates and found the perfect girl.
Of course i made backup plans. Girl A will sometimes fail to turn up or some B+S happens and you don't get what you want.
I scheduled with an agent that speaks chinese, and it was on at 12am, HK timing.
I am working at european hours for the week and i scheduled it during my break hour. It seem simple enough.
Get location, get time, be at location using google maps, print map, be there before the time is due so i can make it back.
The agent promised to call me back at 11pm, which didn't happen. I got a call from the girl at 12:07am, telling me she is ready.
I told her i am not. By the time i reach her, i would run late. Up comes her argument that i booked her at 12, i should ideally
be at the hotel lobby by 12, which WAS correct. What wasn't in her train of thoughts is that i WASN'T exactly there, i am still
stuck in office waiting for the call on the location. Then before i can tell her the situation or arrange something else for tomorrow,
out comes the greetings to my mom. That kills any fantasy one man can have towards most women.
To her, its a wasted time slot, or maybe she is tired. To me, not only does she needs to work, but men do need to work too.
Maybe the lack of reports should ring an alarm bell but i was very specific about what i wanted and took the risk. Should have
trusted the bros here.
I took a fall into this punting world, hoping for some GFE, ended up i took a fall instead, on my face.
This, is an experience and insult that takes time to forget or absorb.
