I was recently unemployed (voluntarily) for about 3 months (start the new job in April). I was bored as hell after the first month but the time off gave me a chance to finally start a tax practice (8 clients this year), get caught up on The Wire and Heroes, and do some contract work at a non-profit in town. Drewdog, as long as you are getting offers then I say hold out for the type of role that you really want. It's better than settling when you don't have to (again, as long as you are still getting offers). I am very happy that I waited....
9 hours? had my first job back in Feb 2000, stayed there till July 9, 2006 11pm, then started my current job July 10 8am, so yea....
