No one should have to come home to this.

Hello, Roll on I suspect mid December, as previously mentioned, although I am still trying to find a normal jobby as even if I do get an interview in January I wont know if I am accepted until the later end of 2009 as a background needs to be completed and really there isn't much on offer of the experience free computer geek. Although I have seen an interesting job as a car sales chappy, so I'll have to give that an eyeball as they will offer training, weather I get it or not would depend on the results of a test on the 16th of December, which is a bit of a ballache. But that is life I guess, I slightly regret spending £14,000 on University as it has been nothing but a waste of time and money with fruitless results, although I suspect my stupidity has something to do with that. But there you go, I suspect I should have listened to the study that said with a few exceptions, most people end up the same if not worse off financially after going to university than those who did not and in my case it even more so. But what can you do, eh? Take care, ~Jordan

I want us to do this.

Hello, It has been a while since the last time I did one of these, so I felt it was about time I got off my lazy arse and did another. I have gone back to college to be less of a thicky, getting me some maths, it is going a little blergh as I forgot how badly I suck at maths, but that is part of life I suppose. The tutor suspects I'll be one of the people who are there for the minimum amount of time (5 weeks) then clears off with the equivalent of a GCSE C under their belt. But I doubt that as in a mock test I got 28/40, which is an atrocious result. But in gaining this little qualification it helps me with a lot of things, either when I go back to the Army, or being able to count the correct change when I inevitably get a job in McDonald's as nothing else is looking promising thus far. I will find out in December if I am Prop material however. Although I suspect if they read this site during the decision process that is highly unlikely. It would also appear I am turning into an old man, as I managed to pop out my back last week, probably down to the fact I was wearing trainers for the first time in ever as once I went back to boots my back was fine, but I'll tell you now, when you step off a curb, hear a pop and then get a warm sharp feeling going down your back you know you've done something wrong. I can't think of much else to put, it has been weeks, but other than job hunting, going back to college and bumming around I haven't really been up to much. Take care, ~Jordan

I took away the only person she ever loved.

Hello, Long time since I have done one of these, I would make a lavish excuse for that, but the simple truth is I couldn't be bothered to get a one liner for the title so couldn't see the point in making a news post. Feel free to blame CBS and the writers strike for not making enough CSI episodes if you like. I have picked up my application form from Humberside Police, but even if I make it past application stage the assessment process isn't until 26th of January 2009 anyway and assuming I get round that it'd be another 8 months to 1 year for the background checks to be completed. So the hunt for a job has to pick up momentum because I really need to get my drivers licence and a car as training would be based in Hull which means a lot of commuting which would get costly fast if I was to use trains/buses. Unfortunately I feel I may have shot myself in the foot having my jbush URL pointing here as anyone with it can read through my history over the last 3ish years and that probably doesn't look great for a potential employee (I am hardly the most liberal person in the world after all). So I should probably do something about that, which will most likely just point that URL somewhere else. That is it really, other than job hunting, trying to build on my upper body strength and larking around, I haven't really done anything constructive in the how ever many weeks it has been since my last post. Take care, ~Jordan

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
