I'm sure you'll get a job by then! And surely asking for a long weekend won't be too much.
Maybe you could do some internet research... I admit to being a little clueless. We've got the college, and a community college, and a big HP plant that I think employs half the tech-types in town...
I'm doing a bit of research, but I think I'll likely have to wait to get there to do a lot. I can at least have my resume all up to date and pretty, though! ;-)
