Missed your responses, KT, Steak.
Steak, I'll make sure you know when I get there.
KT: I don't much like the system, but I understand it. I may not go for fast food jobs, but I do go for pretty much any job I can do within my industry. I'm a highly skilled, very qualified, extremely well trained, and very experienced systems administrator. What I'm NOT is a programmer. So I go for all sorts of sysadmin jobs, tech managment jobs, tech support jobs, etc.
I'd feel bad about not going for the burger jobs, except all I'm getting back from the state is the money I paid in for the express purpose of covering my ass in a situation like this (unemployment compensation here is paid into by the employee as well as the employer and the state).
If this goes on for much longer though, I'm going to be seriously considering going back into the Navy, or going back to school full time and collecting on my veterans benefits.
