    Yeah, good luck finding a new one.

      A shame you lost your job, MrFun. Luckily, the job situation around the DC area is relatively good.

      Good luck.
      I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

        Good luck. Maybe you could get a job screening new pennies as they're minted.

              Good luck, MrFun. Wish I knew something helpful about the DC market.

                You are probably right about this. I know at least that there are more opportunities out here than back in Iowa or Illinois.

                I do not want to move back home if I can help it.

                  Sorry you lost your job.
                  I'm an employee of state of Illinois. Not sure how unemployment compensation works if you work for a state government.

                  Also, I may not need unemployment compensation anyway, if I get a new job before the end of this one.

                            Yep, I sure am.

                            The Papers of Abraham Lincoln project employs a number of research specialists and editors to different parts of country where archives are holding Lincoln and Lincoln-related documents and correspondence.

                            I am among five people who were located to work in College Park, MD and Washington DC to obtain records at two National Archives branches and Library of Congress.

                            The office for Papers of Abraham Lincoln is located in Springfield, Illinois and the University of Illinois is one of the most important sources of funding and support for this project. The university is also the one who pays our salary while the project's foundation pays a much smaller amount for partial compensation of living expenses.

                                Good luck Mr. Fun.

                                FYI, if you haven't picked up on it yet, you'll notice that DC shuts down in August, even more than most cities; move your search forward as best you can, but don't expect anyone to take a good look at you until after Labor Day.
