Amazing what even putting out some feelers will do for you, i.e., headhunters, etc. I have been laid off twice in 4 years and I have no fear anymore. If it makes you even feel a little better, dont sell yourself short and at the least, look around. You might be amazed that a new job could put a WHOLE new spin on things. Take a small plunge and at least start browsing...it gives one great PMA to start seeing new paths open up.
