I should probably be blogging about my job search, or .. something.

Well, since Monday, November 3, 2008, the day I got laid off and my cat died, I have not had a job. I have been working on the web site (http://PillowTalkProfiles.com) I built for some friends (for which I'm getting an equity stake), and thankfully that's keeping me busy, but I'd sure love to find a good solid job!

It amazes me that with 18 years in software development, I can't get any more traction than the occasional rejection letter/e-mail. And you know it's bad when you're excited to have gotten a rejection because at least you know someone at least read your resume! Of course, if you think about it, they may not have even gotten that far. Maybe they're simply a company willing to take the time to let you know that you didn't pass muster for whatever reason; perhaps because you were 742nd in the pile of resumes.

Ah well, such is life during these fun economic times. Just gotta keep plugging away as there really isn't any alternative besides giving up, and I can't see how that would help anyone.
