Okay, it's been a month and one week now.  I believe on one hand I'm doing well in that I'm getting calls and have had two major interviews in the span of a month's time.  Every new action is informative and educational, and polishes me a little more for the next one.  The evolving trajectory leaves me smarter and more capable.  Comparing my story to others, that's incredible.  On the other hand, all that churn is wortheless without a job close.

Still, I need to change my strategy in a dramatic way if I want to live to fight.  Bearing in mind I'm here to live in the city, not "get a good job" in the city, which would only be nice but should not be fatally concerned with the reason; I have decided to start an immediate search for roommates.   To that aim, I am widening the scope of my job search to include pretty much  anything that can support that arrangement.  I'm going beyond IT, and even for the mundane.  Whatever establishes a foundation. 

I've still got money to make control changes, so, here we go!
