I have 28 days left with the Masonic Cancer Center IT dept. My options at the moment include:
 
1. Bumping someone of lower seniority and taking their job.
2. Going on the "layoff list" where I get priority for jobs I'm qualified for.
3. Taking the severance package which includes 8-weeks salary, vacation payout, and healthcare at current employee cost for a year (and I still qualify for unemployment).
 
I will leave the Cancer Center with a Masters in Public Affairs from Humphrey (if I finish a paper and pass the stats class by the end of the summer session). So I am seriously considering option #3. With unemployment, I should have a nice cushion to look for something in a policy/strategy area or maybe help a group use the social web. I have ideas. I have dreams.
 
If I go that route I will be interested in any freelance web work to help pay the bills. Or how about a freelance web project that has a social web component to it? I have some great ideas. I have deep blogging and twitter experience and I can fake it on Facebook.
 
If you have some ideas (or work) for me, I'm pfhyper at gmail.
