Peter,
Just go play bass, for a living! You might be happier, but there's a good chance you wouldn't make enough to pay all your bills AND eat.
Sorry, just trying to lighten the mood. Good energy and well wishing is never to no avail, something interesting will come along, for sure. Have faith, trust, and a sprinkle of Alembic wood dust!
Seriously, I'm just trying to inject some humor into a situation which is always hard- jobs, job hunting, unemployment, and finances.
I really believe that you'll find something in the next 3 weeks. Keep your eyes peeled!
Peace;)
Frank
