Just count your blessings. Due to medical issues, it's unlikely I'll ever find
another job in IT. (Who wants an IT employee part-time with a huge gap in his
CV?)
(P.o-t doesn't show up in search engines, so I can say this, right?)

1. No, this shows up in search engines just fine.
2. No, that never stopped me before either. ;-)

The bad news: The phone calls have now petered out.
The good news: I have a telephone interview in about half an hour.
(Now, if only my battery wasn't so low...)

Can't you use the phone while it's charging?

Well, I didn't think I'd get the job. Now I've had the interview, I'm
not even sure if I /want/ the job. But hey, we'll see if they call back...

I'd need to have the charger in order to do that. It's 50 miles away.

A lot of it has to do with IT picking up again. Evidently the dot-com
bust has finally bottomed out. I looked for work in software for
several years before being hired just a few months ago.

Well everyone made massive upgrades in the late 90s to get over Y2K, and
now, those systems are slowly becoming obsolete again, so there's
another wave of upgrades coming...
