Stage 2, Day 17,
Pretty 'productive' day, even though I could only find one new job to apply to.
But, it feels like groundhog day. I way up and do the same things every day, feeling like I can't move forward.
An example to substantiate; for the last three weeks, I've been waiting for my transcripts to be able to use my official title in my field. If I can't do it, then I can't use the title at the end of my name. If that's the case, employers will look at my application and see 'Graduate', and will all but discard it.
I called to check on the progress; on two occasions, I've waited for 15 minutes on hold, but I cannot get through to an operator. Any useful contact gives me a voicemail.
I don't get responses from my job applications. Feels like I'm spinning my wheels. What else can I do, really?
Well, I've thought of a couple of things that I could do while I'm stuck in this limbo. I've taken a few little steps that can help un-budge me.
Anyways, I went to the gym today. New numbers:
Dumbbell Press: 75lbs x 2 x 5. I'm basically doing a 150 lbs bench press; I'm back at my maximum
Squat: 175 lbs x 4 reps. I've done several days of spot training my glutes. This has made my squats much easier, given that glutes are my weak spot, affecting this exercise and deadlifts.
