Previously, I've written under the nom de plume of Test Tube Phoenix. The scientist reinventing himself for a recession economy which had very little room (or jobs) for scientists. In way, this is a repeat of my older introductory diary...but far less hopeful this time out. The flame seems to have been quenched by Hurricane Sequester, which is already dropping the bottom out of an already bleak scientific job market.
So my question is...where on Earth do I go from here? How do I maintain a living, the health care I need to survive? My situation is hardly unique. I'm just one man, running out of time.
My (abridged) background, below, what I can't do, and the rest of the sad story.
