Oh, and this might amuse or appall -- the deluge of phone calls and emails for absolutely ridiculous jobs ("You don't have any of the skills they want and the job is in the Yukon! Let us pitch you to them!") has gotten so bad after just three days that I went back to my jobsites and hid my resume again everywhere but Dice.com. I literally got five freaking phone calls on my cell phone while I was changing into a suit for my interview today. I'm spending more than half my time saying "no, you idiots, I don't want that job -- don't you read the profiles?"
Edit: At least one was honest about it -- the email included an apology for wasted time if the job didn't match my skills or preferences and admitted it was a mass mailing. If the job had been anywhere close to a good match for me I would have written back just to congratulate them on their honesty.

...and my shoes began to squeak.
