So, in the two months of having zero income and liquidating all my savings, overdrafting my checking accounts, and using up my entire retirement fund, I finally managed to get hired somewhere.

During Unemployment:
Total number of in-person interviews: 1
Total number of phone interviews: 3
Total recruiter contacts: 72

I'm working for LeapFrog now, makers of the Didj and other educational games and toys. Yay! $20/hour for now, but it's still in my range of accepted salaries, so I'm good. Still a QA Tester, but not sure for which department quite yet.

Whole new level of secretness about toys that I'm sure no one here really cares about.

Well, congrats on a new job. I recently had hired for a job last Monday and currently doing my assignment.

And today's job is like fucking hell. I would like to make a new thread about it but I should do it over the weekend since I have other plans today.

Wow, well, I am glad to hear that you got a new job. Sucks that you had to go through your retirement fund already though.

I wish I made $20/hour. Foo.

$20 an hour is not that bad. But my job pays at a minimum wage.

Yes, "playing" with toys. Because that's all QA ever is. Playing with things.

It's still work, and it's still tedious in its execution. But, well, worth its $20/hour merit to keep me housed and my car paid.
