Another weekend, another look at the weekend job listings. As usual, there isn't much, if anything. A job that I've already applied for is apparently still available - or they've hired someone and need to replace them.

There are a couple of positions that I applied for but haven't heard back on - not usually a good thing, but at this point at least I'm still being considered for the position, right? That's all I ask, really.

I was hoping to have another one of those "temp" jobs lined up for this week, but the company I'd be doing the temp work for (aka my headhunter) hasn't heard back if they're interested in me. If I did get the work, I'd be amazed if it lasted as long as it's supposed to - if you recall, my last assignment was supposed to be several weeks to several months, but I ended up only working one day. With this kind of job market, I'm amazed I even got that much...

I'm continuing to hope that I'll get something - anything - but with the one year anniversary of my layoff rapidly approaching, I'm starting to wonder what the best way to celebrate this occasion is. Do I send my former employer flowers? Do I go get drunk? Have a nice dinner with the family? Any suggestions out there?
