Many of my bad days come from worrying about finding a new job. With Session 4, I wrote down my objectives and will set out to work my action steps. Yet, I can't talk myself to not try to hit too many fronts in my job search: My constraint: We are tired moving (3 moves in 4 years to different parts of the country) even though many opportunities are surfacing for me in other parts of the country. So, in order to work locally, I am looking at securing a college teaching job , enrolling in a teacher certification program to teach in high school, and trying to return to operations management through warehousing. Nothing locally seem to be good prospect. I am hanging in there though hoping something will happen. Are my expectations unrealistic?

I dont think you're being unrealistic. I think you are planning something. You're taking control of things. That's good. Keep trying. You never know when that door will open up for you, and it will.
