I have one month left. I complete my internship 8/24, with my last day at John Umstead Hosp 8/23, and then a day at UNC PM&R. At that point I will be a Psy.D., a Clinical Psychologist, who will be unemployed.

I have very little stuff left here, and I'll be packing some of it, and giving away most of it. I have my truck left to sell, once I have no more need of it, and then I leave for Burning Man 8/25. Post-Burn options are still open. I have not yet exactly figured out how to get to the Burn from RNO, or where to go after the Burn.

I own a house in Oregon, and stuff, including tools, a truck and a Harley. I'm open to leasing or renting the house out after the Burn, or selling it, and storing or disposing of much of the stuff (not the tools, truck or Harley). This means that I might be needing a cheap place to stay while I do this. I'm open to ideas or offers.

I will be looking for jobs internationally, as well as in Colorado, Texas, Oregon, Washington, and California. I will only work where I can learn and grow, both personally and professionally. I will go where there is a traditional dojo to train, and where I can continue studying and learning my various interests.

I'm open to what the Universe is ready for me to learn.

plain logic

[sienna555.livejournal.com]

Logic strikes:
#1. You already own a domicile in Oregon. You've never shared it's cost with me, but I'll assume that you have a mortgage payment on it whether you live there or not.
#2. You have more contacts in Oregon than in most places. Contacts = networking opps.
#3. You know how to schmooze in the Oregonian language, which will get you more job opportunities than in a place you've never had to schmooze. I know they schmooze differently in places I've lived before, so I'm assuming it's a universal affect.
#4. You don't want to live with any other people, really--you just know that you can tolerate it. Having your own space is priceless, and you know it.
#5. It's easier to plant roots when you've got some roots already planted.

If I were you....I'd get my ass back home after BM, live temporarily where it's cheaper & easier to get by, then make the bigger decisions for the longterm. (moving back to your own house means no deposits, charges, or cleaning fees, and you can fix it up to sell it if necessary. Remember the rules of real estate--you must live there or it's more taxes when you sell.)

In the meantime, print out and mail as many letters of inquiry to as many places as possible, and see who bites. But don't push yourself to handle everything at once. Work from the ground up.

Thanks. I'm on that. *smile* I've got obligations and stuff to purge there, as well.
