I'm not (not now, anyway). That was seven years ago when I was laid off. I
went to one of the agencies the moment I got laid off.

Meanwhile I moved to a place with no need for programmers (a small town in
Northern Wisconsin). I moved here for reasons that had nothing to do with
my career. Those reasons have "expired" recently, so I am thinking about
getting out of here.

I found one refreshing change about working "at the bottom." No intrigues.
But it's definitely time for me to move on.

Well? What are they? I do hear about high tech companies looking for good
programmers. I am geographically very far from high tech companies right
now, so any such list would be useful.
