    I would just fill out your job seeking attempts, then fill in the dates so they're spread over the week. You can job seek at any time during the week, your only contract with them is to do so many activities for the week. If you start mentioning you didn't do anything for a couple of days and you get a difficult advisor they might end up asking you to fill out a form to say you were unavailable, so I'd save yourself the hassle. I think they're more interested in people not doing all they can to apply for work, rather than making sure it's equally distributed over the week.

    I got told a few weeks ago I had to job search 7 days a week, even though it doesn't say so on any paperwork. I said 'even on a Sunday???'. She said yes. This has never been mentioned to me before, in fact a couple of weeks earlier one advisor stated how good my job search was.
    There's a storm coming, Mr Johnson. You and your friends better batten down the hatches, because when it hits, you're all gonna wonder how you ever thought you could live so large and leave so little for the rest of us.
