(I can talk to you like this - I've packed on enough years to qualify as an official ole fart.)<br /><br />You mentioned a life guru in DC ... do you have a life guru in Portland, someone who knows the local employment environment? Someone who could begin to match your temperament and talents with what's available there? Why not find one?<br /><br />But let's say the worst thing imaginable happens and you run out of money altogether, you're about to lose your home, and the kitty stars eying you like a four-course meal?

You're gonna be fine. Write me when the sun breaks through ...<br /><br />Until then, remember, life is like a surfboard: you try like anything to stay upright on a thin little slab of fiberglass, all the time knowing you're going to fall off the thing eventually; but, hey, with any luck, it will only be water that you hit.<br /><br />Isn't that fun?<br /><br />Think about it ...Bigezbearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01518091273245395370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1576769111370725859.post-67738170990857024882009-12-23T07:11:01.581-08:002009-12-23T07:11:01.581-08:00I turned down at least 5 gigs when unemployed afte...I turned down at least 5 gigs when unemployed after I moved from CA to WA. Sure, it was a different time and different economy but I think if you reread that paragraph you just wrote about all the tings you don't want you already have your answer.Sizzlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00182860438430294750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1576769111370725859.post-52677023985762814992009-12-23T05:11:29.867-08:002009-12-23T05:11:29.867-08:00I hope you're gonna hang in there and stay job...I hope you're gonna hang in there and stay jobless.
