I'm taking a few weeks off for my birthday.

Seriously, I would start looking right now. You will have a few weeks off whether you want it or not. I was unemployed until just recently, I got lucky and got hired a few weeks before the money ran out. Otherwise I probably would have lost my house. Unemployment doesn't last forever, you have to plan for the worst in this economy. I don't want to see anybody lose their place or have to sell their car [or live out of their car] because they couldn't find work.
