Yup. I got laid off in April, and iirc have had about 3 legit interviews, and conservative guess of 10-15 screening calls. I'm now applying for whatever I can do, like driving a moving truck, but it's tricky with a resume that's overwhelmingly software related. Also considering just switching into a different trade, but as rent and cost of living continue increasing, as well as interest rates being what they are, it's a scary time to take on debt. I'm thankful to have what I'd consider a relatively minimalist set of expenses, but I anticipate being in the negative by the end of the year. Not negative as in I've had to dip into my savings, negative as in I'll be out of money with no prospects if I don't figure something out. I figure if I can land a job that covers rent in that time, it will help stave off that decline. (Canada btw)

Otherwise though I'm very well rested, and my M+ rating in World of Warcraft is better than ever.
