I've got pretty well sewed up a one-week gig in Everett (about 1hr15min drive north) doing a systems deployment. Pay is pretty good, and it won't screw up my benefits. :) All over the table, I lose unemployment the week I work, then it starts back up automagically the next week, with no downtime.
Hey, it's something. And who knows, I get my foot in the door, they might have something more for me.
