I've been out of work since I got laid off last October. Yes, in '08. I've had a few short term jobs, but essentially on unemployment. I've enjoyed not having to work, as it's given me more free time to do my own projects & hobbies, but gov money won't last forever. very frustrating. not my first time being unemployed, but definitely the longest. something always comes along just when i need it, so maybe i shouldn't be worried. it doesn't help when employers think all you can do is what's on your resume and wont hire you so you can get more experience. I see jobs I'm qualified for but know i'd hate based on experience, so i tend to ignore them "Because you have been down there Neo, you know that road, you know exactly where it ends. And I know that's not where you want to be." (note- i despise the interview process. most employers suck at it, which inevitably makes me look bad.) I really hope you and me both find something decent soon. as for you writing more, i say "Make it so". that's good. dude, I not only sympathize, I also empathize.
