The Job Hunt; aka "Our Long National Nightmare"

Well, here's the update.  We've been in our apartment almost a month now, and I'm still the weak link in the chain...I still don't have a job.  My last post outlined 30 job applications and resumes I had submitted.  I have since completely lost count, but I'm sure it's in the neighborhood of 50 to 60 active applications out in the ether.

EDIT:  I went back thru my emails and found all of my applications.  54 have been sent out.

Among my application locations:
Best Buy
Target
Staples
CBS
NBC
BBC America
E! Entertainment Television
Universal Studios
The Hustler Store
Google
Fry's Electronics
Burbank Airport Marriott
14 Craigslist positions

Tomorrow holds in store the Interview2Hire Job Fair at the Glendale Hilton, just a few blocks from this apartment.  I'm hoping I can land something there, because I'm starting to go stir crazy.

Stat Sheet:
Months without a job: 14
Applications submitted: 54
Interviews to date: 3

Will I have a job by tomorrow afternoon?  Cross everything you have two of and wish me the best of luck!
