    Nobody in St. Louis is hiring. I had an interview at a very good firm a month ago. I totally thought I nailed it. I followed up by phone and email, but haven't gotten any sort of response from them. It's so disheartening when people don't even drop you a line to let you know they've filled the position or whatever.

    Frankly, I've just about given up on finding another full time job. I can't afford to sell my house right now, so I've got to find a way to stay afloat here in STL. I'm throwing all my weight into freelance now. Maybe Metagramme will become a legit business sooner than I thought. That requires clients though, and at the moment I've only got one. Feels like I've got a gorilla sitting on my shoulders, what with wife and son to look after.
