No begging - just this is my current situation - if you hear of anything let me know. This works so much better in person and you will feel better when you reconnect.

x2, Thats my plan. Moving to a town that I haven't lived in since I was a kid. I still have friends and family there, but my only hope is for the "friendship" thing. it's a "backwards" kinda remote area. Keep your head up. I'm going to entertain the idea of jobs outside my "expertise", they may not be what I'm used to or permanent (i'm only staying one year).
What I'm trying to say is, fear of the unknown is normal, and "forced" change just plain sucks, BUT.... "Grieve" for a bit, then pick yourself up. Sounds like you've been pretty successful so far. How did you get to this point? Couldn't be random events, it must have been hard work. This is just the next rung in life's ladder.
Now that my "hallmark moment" is over. Stay focused and good luck. You shouldn't need any luck but it's there just incase. Take care.
