I'm stuck in this loop. At work all I can think about is getting home and having fun or doing "real" work. Not all areas are flooded with good jobs, and mine isn't one of them. I've interviewed with a few companies that didn't hire me, and the process of interviewing takes such a toll - mostly emotionally, but also several hour+ long phone calls, and a whole day off to interview, a few nights spent on code samples... I'm reluctant to do it again. Especially when my job is "not that bad" and it's hard to get a clear signal on just how great any other potential job might be. Also, pursuing my side projects is something I want to continue.
