Thank you dearly for the replies. I'll look into Kinko's this afternoon / tomorrow.

Dave brought up a point I'd neglected. I haven't shaved in over a month; perhaps I ought to acquire a razor.

I attended an interesting seminar on looking for jobs last night. It was oriented more toward people looking for very-good jobs, but it was quite informative nonetheless.

some points:
always keep looking
apply in bulk to sundry locations
know who is doing the employing
resume / cover letter / thank you letter / call 3 days later
emphasize what you could do
etc
-
ask for the job during the interview

[edit: oh yeah, the most important part of the seminar was about where the jobs are, but I that wasn't all that important to me yet. Apparently most (and the best of the) jobs do not go to want ads, job fairs, placement agencies, etc]
