HOLY CARP!!!
I think I would give some serious thought to moving to China for a year or so and teaching english.
As a good person, I implore you to do as I, a good person, do. Be good. Do NOT be bad. If you see bad, end bad. End it in yourself, and end it in others. By any means necessary, the good must conquer the bad. Good people know this. Do you know this? Are you good?

The problem with having an open mind is that people keep trying to put things in it.

I'd stay here and be a stay-at-home dad for a while while I looked for another one.
In my defense, I was left unsupervised.

I'd make do as best as I could on the pittance earned from a ridiculously low-paying part-time job, and deplete my already shrunken retirement savings to make ends meet, hoping the economy will make a turn for the better and work will pick up before the retirment account is completely gone and I lose my house. That's what I'd do.

I am so adjective that I verb nouns!
That is why I work for myself. It's easier to get a client than a job.
The dogma lives loudly within me.

Probably do something similar to the last couple times it's happened.
I cite irreconcilable differences.

Exactly. Recognize it as an opportunity.

I'd do that, too, but M&M's won't let me become a gigolo...
