DQ - Yes, the New Year, I will wait until then. I can't ruin an already crummy Christmas for everyone. So I will wait before I do anything.
I do have a little piece of good news. The hiring manager from audio job that I really wanted called this afternoon. Someone else there had told me about the hiring freeze, but I found that out when I had called them. This time he called me. He apologized about how things were going for them economically and told me that he hated to let a great guy like me slip through his fingers. If I was still on the job market after the first of the year he'd love to hear from me again, he also added that I would be a great fit for the shop. So maybe the shop's business will pick back up after the first of the year. He did say that this time of year was also a slow period for them too, so maybe I can get in there after all.
