How did the informational meeting go with the HR dept. at the company you are contracting at go? Since today is your last day and your last opportunity to have access to such a resource you must have remembered to do that.
My recruiter whom I would do that with is out of the office until Monday.

The company where you are working now has a HR dept., no? If so that is who you should be meeting with. Not the HR dept. at your recruitment agency.
If the company where you are sitting RIGHT NOW does not have a HR Dept. then find the most sr. exec. you can and ask for a brief informational meeting before the day is over.
The company I work for is a huge comapny. It is one of the largest in the world. I don't know where HR is located here. Most exec's are gone today. They are usually not in on Fridays. I do have a friend that works in HR in another company that I am planning on doing that with though.

3) If you are in a professional or business field and know any HR people call them up, tell them you value their professional opinion and could they give you 20 minutes to hear your introduction/interview script and critique it. You're flattering them, not asking for a job, so not putting them on the spot. They will usually say yes.
I'm not quite prepared for this yet. That is one of the things I am working on in this group I am attending with Jon2911 on Wednesday nights.

You are contracting at one of the largest companies in the world AND you sat there for months knowing your contract would one day end AND there was a possibility you would not be asked back AND you never once thought to *find* the damn HR people or meet with an exec?
So today is your last day at ONE OF THE LARGEST COMPANIES in the world and now the opportunity to network with the decision making people/people of power there will be lost for good.
I hope you really think about that and what opportunities/networking/information/advice you missed out on. The day you made one liner after one liner about how miserable you are, how you are tired of this life, how you miss your kids and wife probably could have been better spent.
Honestly, reading what you just posted is so frustrating. Every time you have something right under your nose you let it pass right by yet you think you see something so far out of reach and that is what you pursue.
There is nothing you can do about it now but as worried as stressed as you were the moment you found out about your job loss (was that last week or 2 weeks ago?) you should have been networking your ass of at ONE OF THE BIGGEST COMPANIES IN THE WORLD.
What more did you want right in front of you? You know what is so odd to me? Your W smiles at you and you think "WOW, things are really going to get good now, a teeny smile is the first step". Yet for months you snugly sat in a cube with complete access and exposure to the inner workings of ONE OF THE BIGGEST COMPANIES IN THE WORLD and you never made one proactive move. It's very puzzling to me.

Something so simple. Well, at least I can ask for my shirts back tonight when I pick up my girls if she hasn't done it and I can do it myself and show D12 how to do it.

The fact that almost 200K people viewed that video scares me.
I am going to see if there is a Youtube for caulking a window, getting the chemicals right in a pool, and cutting up a tree that fell.

I am having trouble finding a youtube video for an actual business systems analyst interview to watch and listen to, to get pointers on.
