I too have been *ahem* between jobs for a little while but I'm looking forward to landing a job. I'm busier now than when I had a job and look forward to being on a semi-regular work schedule again. Suggestions for staying busy:
- Search for another job
- Write an article or two and post it here - also looks good on the resume/CV
- Read some good books
- Write a book
- Go for a work-out every day - when else would you have the time to do that?!
- Do things that you didn't have time to do when you had a job
Essam - Author, JScript .NET Programming
...and a bunch of articles around the Web -

Asimov is the king of sci-fi. Sorry, was the king. Like it or not, I'm right.

Jason Henderson wrote: Asimov is the king of sci-fi. Sorry, was the king. I would agree. His stories played in realms where the protagonists and antagonists were people. Lately sci-fi seems to exist in this Luddite world where the good guy is fighting the "evil creation of science" - nanotechnology, genetic manipulation, cyborgs, robots... This is even more prevalent in film and TV with shows like Matrix, and X-files, even Star Trek TNG where the spent half the time trying to survive their own holodeck! Dave Huff 'tis a silly place!
