Tech Unemployment Day 1

As a contractor I always have feared that this day would come. It is the first day of unemployment between jobs. As someone who has gone to work everyday for over 10 years; I must tell you that it is a strange feeling.

I have 2 or 3 days of vacation hours left so at least I'm covered for the next few days. As far as savings go there is a few emergency plans but not much in cash reserves. On the brighter side, I have started interviewing with a large company. I do feel pretty good about the prospect of landing the job, but I'm sure that the technical portions of the interview will be really tough.

I really hope that you won't have to read too many installments Tech Unemployment Day X

In the mean time I will have a large honey-do list and a very large list of tech reading and training to keep me busy until I find a full-time job.
