Highlights for the week
New week, same situation - no jobs. Monday is notorious for the job leads, but my will to keep trying is fading fast. As is the money in the bank.
The high from BSidesNYC 0x06 is over, but the connections made were fantastic. I had so much fun and met so many amazing people.
Another week comes to a close and the churn of find job > apply to job > hear nothing is getting old. I've even tried looking for B-tier (waiter) and C-tier (customer service) jobs and I'm not getting a blip. U-test is an absolute failure. As is Bugcrowd. I can't keep living off of credit cards, but the options are bleak.
MONDAY
Affirmation: GENUINE READINESS IS ABOUT TAKING THE CHANCE AT SOMETHING NEW DESPITE YOUR FEELINGS
It is possible to stay in a perpetual state of preparedness that you never take action and achieve your goals. Take the chance.
TUESDAY
Affirmation: NONCE
Hit my goal for the back workout, but felt really out of sorts, even with the good night's sleep
WEDNESDAY
Affirmation: FAILURE IS THE JOURNEY INTO THE BELLY OF THE BEAST
Being "swallowed up" is not about failure, its about discovery .. who you are when you come out on the other side.
THURSDAY
Affirmation: HEAL THE FATHER TRAUMA
It was a sleepy day; skipped leg day because of my poor quality of sleep. Made the most of it by starting the job hunt early and moving through the Cloud Sec. modules. Also learned about Android Broadcast receivers.
FRIDAY
Affirmation: A MAN WILL EXHIBIT SIGNS OF LONLINESS WHEN HE RESORTS TO QUESTIONABLE CONTENT FILL THAT VOID
The job market is abysmal.
Had a weird dream where I was building a baseball field, but instead of grass it was beach sand. I was measuring the distance from third base to home.
SATURDAY/SUNDAY
Affirmation: KEEP GRINDIN’
statement for any relevant fun side projects
