Ok, so it's really week 1, as during week 1 I really just browsed online, went to the placement service that got me my last job, and waited for my severance check to arrive.
However, I was motivated today as I found out my severance check isn't coming for two more weeks and the check for today (which will arrive in the mail who knows when?) is only for one week. Better than nothing, yes, but trust me, I have put some people off until today as today was supposed to be my "big check". My ex manager called to let me know I left some personal stuff behind, and I let her know they should have had someone better prepare the letters (oh, I don't know, someone thorough, competent, experienced, you know, like me) as the letter had numerous mistakes.
The biggest, in my favor, was that the letter made it seem like my health insurance ended on May 31, when in fact it ends June 30. I am thinking of being entirely reckless for the next two weeks so they have to foot the bill.
Anyway, I got my resume in, and now I am waiting for the calls to pour in, as I kick ass. (No, humility is not listed as a skill on my resume.)
I will keep you posted, all four of you who still stop by.... and I may try to update my link list I never finished.

Hey, I'm (sort of) job-hunting too. I was let go in February on account of my being 1,000 miles away from the office, but I've been kinda lazy about finding another full-time job. How did you find a placement service? All I'm finding are job boards with a million listings that may or may not be good. If you wanna swap war stories, e-mail me anytime! :-)
I hope you have better luck than I!
eh, i got fired again...from the little prissy cafe.
i just collected my paycheck today. It was completely wrong. I should've had more money, but they seemed to want to ignore the fact that i had two different pay-rates depending on what i was doing.
I was too tired to pursue.
anyway, i just did a drug test for a potential new place. Well, the job is mine, upon passing the test, which shouldn't be a problem.
I'm now a 'document scanning specialist'!
problem: doesn't start for another week.
shit.
anyhow, i'm gonna get a beer.
good luck!
