Out of order
“What alternative opportunities, interpretations and paths am I not seeing?” They’re always there, but you’ve got to choose to see them.

What alternatives am I missing. I am job hunting right now. It is a dominate factor in my every waking moment. From searching, some pavement pounding, updating of skills, reading on SQL and XML (waiting to find out if I get an interview for a data processor spot or not), I am working on stuff, and standing still at the same time. I dredge into Transition, Sustainability, getting incensed with politics, and sleep days at a time in despair. I know what used to work, I know the old ways no longer work, I know that networking and contracting and pay cuts and contraction will dominate the US landscape for likely the next several generations (unless it all implodes as I also fear will occur, or at times hopes it does in pique and despair) at the very least. Contraction and Sustainability are the upcoming themes. Also reading "The Windup Girl" by Paolo Bacigalupi as a superb potential future for us all.
Still I do not know what else to do. What other alternatives do I have in this time frame. I can let my house go under, drag my wife and son into homelessness, still seek for work, try to self-motivate (despite a low Follow Thru in KCI) and push on as best I can. I want to Minimalist, I want to draw down, I am so tired of the US Societal landscape, what else is there for me down here in the SE to do though. If I could drop off 40k in value on my house, I could put it up on the market and then head back north where relatives are at, would be good for the wife. Son wont go. So what are the alternatives, the differences to explore, to seek out. Guess maybe this post is just venting and good to clear the head a little.
