I just happened to read your post this evening. If you are strongly feeling the need to get away for a change of environment, can you find someplace not too far from home, to find a sense of how you feel someplace else. It might give you a fresh perspective about the steps you want to take to change things. I agree with the comment of staying away from family. You will probably feel more empowered when you do get employed and if you like your new job, this can lead to new connections and friends for you. You live in Utah -- maybe some of the ski resorts are hiring now for the season.....just a thought.....not a suggestion, as we are not even friends. You have 3 more sessions with the intern...and that is a good thing you did for yourself. Have a good week and I really hope things start to turn around for you. All the best to you,
