It's pretty common in the type of work I do. Hopefully it won't be long before I get another job. I'm just waiting on a call from my JATC (Joint Apprenticeship Training Committee) for an offer. Regardless, I'd rather not be unemployed very long.

There should always be something you can do. You might even consider working installing cable, or burglar alarms.
