Saturday 26th March 2016.

It has been a while since I wrote on here and I think I know why, I use another site called Medium and I found it has so less feature but all the work has been done for you. So I use that but I think I will be using this to write short or a rant post.

A little update not much has happen just interviews and this annoying Job club 2 hours of sitting around on a slow arse computer and slow arse Internet and when I mean slow internet I mean 3MBPS download and Windows XP. Here is me and I use a Macbook Pro and internet speeds of 135MBPS.

I have though been cooking a lot more which is a lot of hot work. So the daily breakfast for me has been CousCous with a chicken OXO cube and some Tomatoes…

For some reason I don’t think this a going to be a regular thing posting on here just because it looks so boring

Saturday 28/11/15

When I started writing this it was still Friday 27th November so how ever you take this. It could be Friday depending on this being long or not but who know it could be Saturday when this posted but that means me writing this in under 8 minutes which won’t be likely. I’m watching Grandfathered on Cartoon HD ( Should go check them out). With Linking them to this blog I now have to finish this in 5 minutes so here it goes

So today started like any normal day. I woke up had “Breakfast” and did my normal day thing. Today was different though I had to go to an interview, NHS interview. I was looking forward to this working in a small team and could be interacting with anyone from a cleaner to the CEO of the hospital. I thought the interview went well they were happy with my IT skills and using there system quicker then they were executing me so that a plus right. Wrong Wrong Wrong Wrong lets get back to that. After the interview I got a tour of the place including where I’d be working if I got the job. So now back to the “Wrong Wrong Wrong” part, I got a phone later on in the day and it was bad news for me and good news for someone else. I got told that my interview was great and strong what let me down was that thing that gets a job now a days EXPERIENCE. So back to the drawing board. I’m either going to run out of room on the whiteboard or my dry wipe pens will run out.

Got a busy weekend ahead and then on Monday got another interview Monday. So the time is now 12:09am so it is now Saturday this will be posted on Saturday. I think it is time for grSanLdfEatEerPed – Grandfathered – Sleep

Why Do I Have Ideas That I Probably Couldn’t Do

Matthew Marden — Thu, 26 Nov 2015 02:11:45 +0000

Thursday 26 November – looks like I’m posting before Christmas and new year that is a miracle. Well like the title I do have ideas I want to put in to plan but probably haven’t got the room for it. It would be nice for some room to grow some veg and fruit, Maybe some herbs as well. If it was anything like other day. I had nothing in the house to eat so I ripped the cupboards and fridge and freezer to find food well ingredients. I got Mince, Tomatoes, More Tomatoes an more Tomatoes, mushrooms, onion, pepper, courgette. Then there is the herbs – Basil, Ground Black Pepper, Oregano and then herb and spice pots and garlic pot. Then you have the most important bit the chopping board, knife and saucepan for the main bit and a saucepan for the pasta.

In the end it was a weird version of pasta bolognese. On the plus side I had made enough to feed 6 people and when I started I didn’t think there was enough to feed 6 people.

Another idea I have is to create and run a food blog website, spend all day in the kitchen one day slaving away over a hot oven and the next day write it all up and post it online. The only down side is I will run out of foods to cook.

But next year should be fun it will be a year of books so follow the #BookYear. My target will be 25 books for the year.

That is about it really not much has happen lately. I won’t put merry christmas because knowing me I’d probably be writing again before christmas.

Why Did I Ever Stop Doing This

Wednesday 18th November 2015 –

Edit 1930hrs

Well well well, I came home after a nice drink and sandwich in Costa and it was raining and it was cold well it was with the wind. so I decided it was time for me to go back home. The down side to that was no WIFI, no internet no sort of connection for the next few days. It wasn’t that that was bothering me it was the fact I be at home with my brother with no Xbox Live connection which would be a bad thing. ( But i’ve now lost track of what I was typing.) Ahh internet connection well I get home and my phone start buzzing with emails, Facebook notification, a few twitters and missed texted. ( I had my mobile data off. ) So for some strange reason the internet was working which I didn’t mind. Now I want to know why, how, when this happen. That is the update. BYEEE

WIFI

While I’m typing this I have music playing in one ear and some elderly man snoring it the other. The strange thing is I’m not where I’m normally on a Wednesday afternoon. I’m not at home or at the local Costa ( well not yet there is still time before I go there.) I’m at the local Library using there free WI-FI ( which is dead slow instead of using my 100 – 125mbps Internet connection). Either I’ve gone crazy or something has happen at home. Nothing major has happen but my internet connection has gone down and won’t be getting fixed till at least Saturday 21st. Okay that is only a few days away but in the house we have a few devices that need an internet connection e.g Xbox one okay that just my brothers but he need the connection or it is hell for everyone in the house. My problem with no connection at home os job searches are going to take twice as long because of the WiFi here. 3mbps that right pst a slow 3MBPS and the other problem is the my phone data has to last to December 10th thats nearly 21 days away and if that is used just because of no wifi at home it going to be a long few days after that.

Other Things That Has Happen

That is just the Wifi problem. Let see what else has happen since my last post. Well I have a tones of interviews only a few have got back to personally and said sorry you haven’t got the job for some bullshit. The quickest one that has turned me down for a job is a care home. Had the interview at 10am and by 12pm a phone call comes through and said “you haven’t got the job at this time sorry.” And before anyone says anything yes it is getting depressing now. I did get offered a job within the care field only problem at the moment is I haven’t heard anything from them. They sent me on a three day training course, they said I had to wait for my reference to come back but all my reference has told me they have sent it back already so I don’t know what is happening there. Going to have to call them again to see what is happening.

So that is about it really. See you whenever I decide to write my next post probably in the new year. HAPPY NEW YEAR AND CHRISTMAS. I wonder if 2016 will be better.

Recent weeks.

Friday 18th September. To be honest not much has happened in the last few weeks. Well one major thing has happen one of the hamsters died unfortunately. Connie Bubble sadly pasted away a few weeks ago.
On the bright side I have got a few interviews coming up one on Saturday at a petrol station. Yeah that’s right a petrol station the one place I hate the smell of the fuel lol. I have also got two interviews at NHS one in a warehouse and one within the Hostipal. Whenever you read this I will be getting ready or ( have already been ) to the job farye at blue water which will be a long day so I will need a costa to start and finish the day just a shame there won’t be a double sausage and egg muffin but then I could make me some in the morning before I go.
Also Dotor who starts again so weekly post on here about the episodes ( Spoilers Alert )

A New Begining

Matthew Marden — Sat, 16 May 2015 00:39:23 +0000

Saturday 16th May –

Just before the beginning of this year I started to read books and in five months I’ve been reading I’ve completed around 11 books. I brought a book a while back called Private India by James Patterson I have got around to reading that one yet but I will but I also brought Private Vegas think it was a book before Private India but it is not there two different characters so that is a bummer but the book I’m reading now Private Vegas is the latest book in a series with Jack Morgan in them and I haven’t read the three books before this one Private, Private No.1 Suspect and Private LA. I will need to get this books to read so it will make sense.

By the looks of things I think I could end up begin a James Patterson fan.

I Joined SnapChat

Matthew Marden — Wed, 13 May 2015 17:42:57 +0000

Wednesday 13th May – As the title states I have joined SnapChat this all happen while on a social night with some mates from St John. I have no clue how to use it to the full like twitter that thing I can use everyday but I think I have got the hang of it.

On an easier note I got two books Private Vegas ( James Patterson ) and Big Game ( Dan Smith ) at this rate I will be needing a bookshelf at this rate. At the moment I’ve read seven books in five months and for me that is a record. These two books Doctor Who The Vault book then that would be ten this year. I’ve started reading Private Vegas. The only problem is I don’t know if is before or after Private India

Enjoy the rest of the day and I still need to order a new keyboard and hurry Dickens so I can go out on events

This Last Weekend

Matthew Marden — Sun, 10 May 2015 20:48:38 +0000

10th May 2015 –

*Update from my last post about my feet that have almost fully healed I have one blister left and my new boots have arrived and I’ve been breaking them in over the last few days and there is a good thing about them they don’t touch the blister which is a blessing. The blister should be gone by the time of the next event. *

What have I been doing this weekend? Well nothing much there was no duties for me with St. John which was a bummer for me I starting watching New Girl on Thursday and today about an hour ago and now just waiting for a new season to start. So I decided to watch FLASH since I started watching Arrow I thought I give Flash a go. Why do comics from DC start with some sort of family member dying so they have some sort of hero.

I am sort of stuck with what to read now? I am also stuck on the book i’m writing which has kinda annoyed me.

This is a short one but most of the posts now a days are short. It’s not long until Dickens Festival in Rochester 29th 30th 31st of May. I am going to be on duty in my new boots which are so awesome.

For some strange reason I have been going to bed around 21 or 2200 and waking up around 08:30 or 9:00

So good night.

Monday 4th May

Matthew Marden — Tue, 05 May 2015 10:56:06 +0000

So I was looking over the last post and that was around a weekish ago. So I thought I’d post now.

I got my uniform for St. John this Saturday and I got asked to help out on an event on Sunday but my first duty was Saturday. May 2nd – 4th – Sweeps – I got told that there was a word that started with ‘q’ that shouldn’t be mentioned at all or the day could go from a few cuts to a serous call ( but from here on out anything that is posted about St. John events will have no information about any calls just about the event the weather and music if there is any.). Let’s start with Saturday it didn’t rain that’s a good thing. On one of the walk abouts there is a spot just of the stairs of Rochester castle garden just looking over the river. By the end of day my feet were hurting a bit but I found out why on Sunday when my feet got a lot worse. I have size 11.5 feet I was wearing size 10 that I thought were size 11 and these were my own boots. Sunday the weather started of with rain and having to clean tent out a few times because of the cherry blossom. I think personally cherry blossom is a pain in the arse. Unfortunately Monday I only did 3 hours my feet were in pain to the point I was thinking I would slow my crew mates down. I’ve ordered new boots and hopefully they come quick but waiting for them means my feet can heal. Radio was weird at first you can be up at base and the radio would be turned down a bit but then you had to turn it up for when you were walking up the high street you had to turn it up but I learnt the following down to wear a ear piece so it was better to hear. At first with the earpiece it did bring a whole new meaning of I hear voices in my head.
So it is now Tuesday 5th May and my feet are hurting more then ever but at least they will stop soon and start to heal. It is now time to check my emails to find out if my boots have processed?

Sunday 26th April – PHP

Matthew Marden — Sun, 26 Apr 2015 14:47:24 +0000

So last night I started to read a easy step PHP book I brought a while ago and now I finally got around to writing my first bit of code and it was the time and date thing to tell a message like good morning if it is before midday. I’m trying to get it to work if it is before 1800hrs and after 1200hrs then it will good afternoon and after 1800hrs before 2359hrs it will say good evening. Unless I am making this more harder then it should be.

I need to start working on the login and register code see if I can do that one. If I can learn php then I can apply for something that php in the job title and start making websites with search options like that tyre one the other day.

Might be some more for this post later on…

Update 22:43pm – 26th/4

I didn’t get around to reading more of the code but then I did wake up a little late or did I sleep in for a change well it is Sunday. I have though been spending today sorting out my room and it is a lot more space. For a small room. I have also been watching Anger Management well I say been watching more like binge watching. I started with Season 1 Episode 1 on Friday night and now I’m on Season 2 Episode 54* inside of two days. (* I’m watching on Flixaity.com and thats how it is put.)

More Tomorrow hopefully and hopefully I will read some more of the book.
