Optimism is Hoping for Unemployment

I know, I really shouldn't be that way. I'm terrible. Actually I'm not as bad as you think. Things in my life have been turned completely upside down.

STATUS
Currently I am living no where. I've been staying with friends here on the Coast. I'm sad to say, I'm running out of friends! It's not that I'm running out of friends, I'm just running out of places to stay that I haven't already stayed. I don't want to be a burden on anyone. I have a blow-up mattress in my truck and occasionally I bring it out and blow it up so I can sleep on someone's floor. I've been frequenting couches, and if I score a guest bed I'm stoked! My home was covered with mold and mildew and they closed the apartments on campus because of the damage. So I'm homeless but looking for a place to live. The pickings are slim. Everyone has rented the apartments that were available. People are renting out rooms or guesthomes, but there are a lot of creepy people down here. I'm running out of options.
I still work for the college. I'm recruiting. Kinda odd. I basically am going to schools and telling people, "Come to * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *! We're still here!" What I don't tell them is that our campus has been destroyed and we are working out of buildings that don't belong to us. It's a sad day. I feel very foolish telling people to come to a school that is in bad shape. I loved our campus I wish terribly they would decide to clean it up and rebuild. It doesn't look good for that campus. There are promises that we will rebuild, but not there. Sad.
What I'm hoping for is an opportunity to move back home. I want to find a job closer to home and start living up there. The problem is that I have to find a place to work and live. It's the latter that doesn't worry me. I just can't find another job.
Please pray for me. Love ya's!

why dont you talk to some local churches and see if they can set you up with something...

have you talked to Bro. Wayne to see if he could help you get a job in the MS area?

No, I didn't think about it. I did go by Northeast to see if they were looking for any new admin workers, but they weren't hiring. I left them my resume.
