One Month of Freedom?

Today is my one month anniversary of being laid off. It's a strange and new situation for me, as this it the first time. So far I have applied to many jobs, but have heard back from none of them. Granted, most are government jobs, and they take between 2-3 months to make a decision. I've been spending a lot of time with the dogs, working on the house, cycling, watching the World Cup and Tour de France, and browsing all the job sites I can find. Something will turn up...
