Yes... at least until New Year's.  It depends on how interviews go and the general feel for what companies expect.  Since I can't eat my beard and don't think the wife and kids would like to try, I must do what I must do to get a new position.  As soon as I reach December 9th though, it will be the longest I have ever kept a beard.  From that point forward, I will be venturing into new territory for me.  I would love to keep it permanently, but given the circumstances my beard's fate is yet to be determined by whatever hand I'm dealt career-wise.
