Will code for food.
I am sooOOoo sick of looking for a job. It's now been two months since I was laid off, and one month since I've been able to really look for a job. Nothing.
I really detest moving and all that entails, and I'm comfortable in my house anyway. However, I've recently become really discouraged with the job market in the Chicago area. There is such a glut of programmers that every possible job has 20 more people who fit the job description perfectly. So I opened up my search to pretty much the entire country, and I still come up empty. There are only a few areas I'm avoiding, like the extreme South (can't stand the heat) and New York City (can't stand practically everything about it).
I keep going back and forth between I really really don't want to have to move and it won't be so bad; it might be interesting to move to a whole different state since I've been in Illinois since 2nd grade. Right now, that's kind of moot, since I can't seem to catch a break and get an interview.
