Now I don't feel so bad anymore - I've been off since April with only
two interviews.

I'm running into a lot of Catberts that want BS and/or MCSE.

Seriously considering taking a non-tech job that gets some sort of
money into the house better than unemployment checks.  Though I'll
have to admit - I'm liking having time at home to finish certain
projects.  Not worth it though if I got no home to live in eventually.
