| I'm done being a rouge on the streets. | ||

Hello, I finally got my medical returned and it isn't good, although I haven't suffered from asthma in over 10 years, I was issued an inhaler in 2006 because the doctor (or was it nurse, I forget) said "you haven't had one in a long time, I think I'll give you one" so even though it spent its life in the back of a draw collection dust it means I have been deferred entry for 2 more years (21st June 2010), as such I have decided to bite the bullet and put my name down to for a Police Community Support Officer (PCSO), as someone commented in another update it is the only way to become a real cop these days. I've also put my name down for pretty much every job in town (again) because I really need to start bringing in some money so I can continue to pay for this place as it is up for renewal in November. Who knew it was this hard to get a job when I have a list of qualifications longer than my hand. But I shall not see this whole situation as a defeat, admittedly I am a little down because of it, but it does mean I can improve on areas that were of concern to me (upper body strength) and when it comes to the time when I can apply, assuming I still want to, it will be a walk over. I suspect however, that I would possibly need to watch what I do and say on here (as well as the rest of the Intarwebnets) if I end up being a PCSO as, if memory recalls correctly, it is frowned upon to have an opinion when working for Her Majesties Police Force. Take care, ~Jordan |

| [Title Here Soonish] | ||

Hello, I made an update about two weeks ago, but for whatever reason it was consumed by CuteNews, so out of spite I have put off updates for a while. Though really it was my own fault as I forgot to include a title, but due to a lack of episodes in the last season of CSI I have used up most of the one liners. The most concerning thing I have come across this week has to be the Angelcheeks Foundation, purely because of the fact there is a need for such a charity to exist. To me that just lets us down as a species, despite the claims, we are far from a civilised society by that I mean "The West", maybe it is blind optimism, but I'd have assumed there would be something in place so parents who lose a baby didn't have to go through the stress of finding the finance to deal with burial/cremation/whatever. It was bad enough watching my parents stress over it after my brother died, it must be hell for a parent who lost a baby. But I suspect I've been a little naive in assuming rich nations would look after their citizens. To keep up the depressive mood today, I suspect the whole Afghan/Iraq deal isn't going to end any time soon [read: before or immediately after I finish training] so I am bound to do a tour in at least one of them. The problem this brings me is I'd be more concerned about the people I left behind then I would my own safety. Which isn't really problematic until I find myself writing death notes and not the "I hope you get punched in the feet to death" kind like several people have assumed, but the "I am sorry I didn't [insert event here] before I died" type of death note, which is not a healthy mindset to have. I should probably work on that. Take care, ~Jordan |

Hello, Another part of Armyism is completed and it turns out I am not a complete thicky. Though the medical portion might see me rejected because I had a little bit of flu (or pneumonia, depends who you talk to) and just to be on the safe side I was issued with some inhalers, so I need to have a natter with my doctor to get them to fill out my medical stuff and see if they can put a little footnote on saying issued and never used or (depending on the legalities) not listing it at all. Though I do believe I my Army career is over before it started. Which means back to trolling the agencies, which doesn't seem to be the most proactive use of time for me as I never hear back from anyone. Which is a pain in the arse as there is so much I want to get done this year, but it all revolves around me getting some steady cash flow. I thought there would be more to blog about right now, but really I've just been working on my upper body strength for a fitness test I will most probably never be allowed to take, but there you go. Take care, ~Jordan |

Hello, Due to those commies in China still bugging the shit out of my comments sections I have turned them off again. Makes me want to see a rerun of the Tiananmen Square massacre all over again, maybe then I'll get a little rest bite, in 24 hours I had to clear up damn near 200 spammy comments trying to sell me all sorts of drugs and most annoyingly some of them are now advertising for Google. It is a good thing I am not American or I'd be suing them for compensation because clearing spam caused me mental anguish or some such. It would also appear that something has gone pop in my PC, now it has been showing its age for quite some time now, but a little tampering here and a little tweaking there and she keeps on going, but it finally looks like it is pretty much at the end of its shelf life. Which sucks as I don't have the cash to upgrade, so I am relegated back to my laptop until I can think up some form of fix to get the old girl limping for a little longer. I have the pleasure of making my way into Grimsby of all places on Monday which isn't the most pleasing thought in the world, but one is required to take a BARB test and the result of that is I have to make a trip to Grimsby as the Scunthorpe recruitment branch do not the equipment to do them here. It isn't the end of the world, just it means I'll have to hang around for approximately 1 hour because the trains suck. I am quite enjoying the exercise schedule for the Army to such an extent that even if I am deemed unsuitable I can at least keep myself healthy, I am also started to get seriously annoyed by the whole job hunting process and the fact that it would appear I am not suitable for a simple computer techie job is rather demoralising. But I shall keep on it, maybe I can find a dead-end factory job to slave away at until retirement. Though even that is unlikely as when I tried my hands at an agency they made such a hoohar about the fact I am British you'd think they found out I was some mass murder, but it turns out they made a big deal over it because they'd rather hire non-natives which I really think there needs to be a law in place to prevent, much like in Canada as a Canadian citizen has job priority over anyone else, but no, England is too liberal for that. So I am stuck squandering what little I had saved up as I am unable to claim job seekers because until September I am still classed as a student and unlike government claims, being University educated doesn't make one more employable, though I should have learnt that lesson from watching my mother, who has a sought after degree, Restoration and Conservation, but despite that a year after graduating is still unable to find work. So that was money well spent. Take care, ~Jordan |

Hello, It would appear turning on comments involves way too much hard work, I am constantly in a fight with those communists in China as they are flooding my comments with spam, right now I already have a couple of hundred of their IP addresses blocked and I am pondering posting a lot of anti-China propaganda in the hopes that it gets my site blocked from their Internet and cuts down on how much cleaning I have to do. I have also upped my training regime to try and get myself Army fit, the running 1.5 miles in a specific time limit is going to be considerably easy, however I need to build all my physical strength back up which is a bit of a mission and if the little guide book I was given is anything to go by physical strength is lost in just 2 weeks of not being used, so all the work I did at university in the gym was a waste of time as the same book claims it'll take me 1 month to put back on what was lost in 2 weeks. Such a pain in the arse. But I shall persevere because I am British, in the time between all the physical and medical tests, I am still trying to find a job, just in case I don't get into the Army, unfortunately that is easier said than done. I figure I shall adapt this to be a chart following my progress to physical manliness and hopefully acceptance into the Army, if not it'll just return into a sporadically updated website full of communist spam. Take care, ~Jordan |
