Monthly Archive for March, 2010

An obscure kind of month…

Contructed on 03/22/2010 in General Stuffage. 0 Comments

This month started out on a bad vibe, carried on from various misfortunes of last month, I was informed that I was unable to stay at work due to budget cuts etc etc, I failed my driving test due to my heavy foot and I have been unable to find ANY other work down here that doesn’t require a degree in something utterly irrelevant and unnecessary. If I wanted to be a teacher, great, I could get one of a number of teaching jobs going here at Cornwall Council. As it stands, I do not want to be a teacher…

I do have a bit of good news though, as of 07:00 today, the recruitment hotline for Avon and Somerset Police opened, allowing multitudes of muppets like myself massacre that number until we got the wondrous sound of a human voice on the other end instead of the dreaded ‘call busy’ tone. I managed to get through, have an application pack coming through and hopefully have a chance at getting one of the highly prized 64 possible slots available.

Mustn’t get too excited though, I’m fighting against 1099 other people for 64 places, I do hope that I get one of them, this is a career that I would love to whole-heartedly pursue.

I need  to calm down and get some sleep soon. Goodnight all, speak soon.

Huh… So it seems that I have been blissfully ignoring this place again and I probably would have continued to had it not been for a comment left on my last post about posting more. I guess part of the problem is me not actually bothering after work, which is fair enough. I have, however, been embarking on the new venture known as podcasting. I know I promised this a snarling zombie dog’s age ago but now I mean it. I’m half way through recording and will hopefully finish tonight and put it up.

I think for the next one I’m going to get a better microphone though, this one is appalling and I sound like I have a cold. Anyway, it should be good as an experiment. I’m not sure how often I’m going to do one, but as it stands it may only be a bi-monthly until I can:

A) Get a new microphone

B) Be bothered to research topics (and finally):

C) Be bothered to record it and keep posting as well.

In the words of Top Gear’s Jeremy Clarkson: “How hard could it be?”

New… What’s new… I don’t really want to talk much this week on here because I’m finding it hard enough to talk about stuff on the podcast… I think I’ll leave new stuff for that. Just so I have stuff to actually talk about.

Cheers for now,

Martin
