But in general- the available jobs for my field in the area I live just... aren't there.

Unemployment Woes
Started over 2 years ago · Last post over 2 years ago ·
I'm in the computer help desk field. I'm lucky to have a great contract company who happened to have something opening, so my resume is in for it already. Any luck, and I'll have a job set up before I have to leave here.
*crosses fingers*
I also have a couple of people to re-vamp my resume for.

I understand... I was given two weeks notice at the beginning of the week. My dept needs to cut contractors and desipite being one of the top performers I was the first to be cut because my contract was one of the most expensive.

Masha - my best friend (male) does the same thing: "You didn't put the stat in the right place? Why did you do that combination? etc"
And it doesn't matter what game we're in- WoW, D&D, Magic the Gathering, etc.
But instead of it being for laughs, he creates female characters in WoW because if he's going to be staring at a character's rear for over 200 hours, he'd rather stare at a girl's behind.

I play lots of games... Settlers of Catan, Carcassone, Scrabble, World of Warcraft, Looking forward to Diablo 3... and I hope my friend will let me play Starcraft 2 on his pc...
And Dungeons & Dragons, Shadowrun, Ars Magica....
Then again, I think I don't fall under the typical "girl gamer" group. ;)

I had something similar happen. I work in a call center and at times (especially in the summer) it can get deadly boring.
And while people can surf, read books, and such... I can't do *any* of my crafts. No knitting, no crochet, no embroidery, no sewing... Unless I am on a 15 minute break or on my lunch break.
I've taken to writing or cleaning up images of drawings from Victorian fashion magazines and ladies' jounrals (of items I'm planning on re-creating/modifying into steampunk outfits).
