I found a spelling error in my cover letter today. Oh well, I need to get these looked at by an editor.

Money line, "Flood the Catacombs!"
I suppose one might credit Doonesbury for a large chunk of my initial understanding of American politics (as I didn't really pay much attention to American news until I started caring that Bill Clinton was the president as he was the coolest politician who ever appeared on the Arsenio Hall show) [Woof Woof Woof]
I still like Clinton (less and less every year, but he seems to slide further and further to the right all the time) I dislike Hilary as she seems to dislike all the stuff I like (Video Games, Violent Movies, Reading, Free Thought)
I'm a Mike Gravel booster as of right now, but we'll see whom I support after the shakedowns over the next few months. If not Gravel, I'm hoping for Obama, whom appears to be just the right age to really provide energetic leadership to the US.
However, if he doesn't produce something like this:
Then all bets are off….

Share your favorite holiday song.
This is really a toss-up, but both involve artists from Great Britain:
Band Aid – Do They Know it's Christmas? "Feed the Wooooo-ooorld, Let them know it's Christmas Time" The conceit is strange, especially with Islam being such a huge faith in the affected areas at the time, but their hearts were in the right place. Nowadays I much more of a cynic about such affairs, but I still think fondly of all the little pyramids of pennies I gave for the babies in Africa who needed them more than I needed a new GiJoe.

Yep, “The position was filled” again.
Where are these phantom IT experts appearing from? After 10+ years of direct professional IT experience you’d think that some firm would be gagging for me. But no.
I spoke with my recruiter friend and he confirmed that the whole sector is slow (due to the end of the year) I have to agree as the daily job postings have slowed to nearly nil.
That being said, I am sick of this crap. Sick to death. Maybe I don’t have CCNA or MCSE behind my name, but I have 10+ years, a degree in computer science and better diagnostic skills than 95% of the technicians I have met. I can work in flash, C, C++, Pascal, PhP, have set up LAMP servers, wrote MySQL front-ends, created content management systems from scratch, worked on PHP-based MMO code (I forked black sun traders really), read packet traces, diagnose email header issues, memorized a number of RFCs, taught hundreds of techs how to understand DNS, SMTP, HTTP and diagnose network issues via telnet. I’ve created streaming audio solutions via shoutcast and winamp. I spoke about AntiSpam at Washington to massive approval by the audience. I have done all this and more, but I can’t find a job in IT.
Why?

It looks like another interview has been for naught… damn.
Come this Saturday I will have been unemployed for the past 4 months. I’ve been dancing around getting a service job here in the resort town I call home; mostly because I have over a decade of experience with PC support and a degree in computer science. It’s pretty much driving be nuts, what am I doing wrong?
Anyone have any tips or leads for work that can be done remotely?
