I hope the new year has more opportunities for you. Maybe the holiday couple months didn't offer as much as will be available "next year".

A couple places I would apply that I don't know if you've thought of are universities and counties, especially the library systems. Library clerks don't make much but they make "enough" and there are all sorts of jobs for counties and universities, they're like small countries of their own :-) Schools are great because they give one something to "talk about" in the interview, one can always say one is interested in further schooling, etc. and it sounds good and makes you look like you have a direction in life, etc.
