Job Search Over
The day I found out about the elimination of the regions (and hence my position) at USF I called one of my former bosses, who was now heading up HR at a different company, to see what he might have available. By the time I finally game up on securing an ongoing position at USF and got him my updated resume the job we had discussed had changed several times, becoming something more and more suited to my skill set and locational needs. I had my final - and at this stage somewhat pro forma - interview today and walked out with a signed offer letter and a weight off my shoulders.
Comparable position to my current one (Going from a Director to a Sr. Analyst, but in a smaller company with fewer directors and much closer to the decision makers, so it's not so much a step back as doing the hokey-pokey), working from home for at least the next year, slightly more travel early on but tapering off later, and better promotional opportunities. It starts the Monday after my current job ends, so I don't even have a break in paychecks.
This is why, when you're lolling around the afterlife filling out the character sheet for your next incarnation always spend the points on "Luck". I suppose in this case investing a point in "Patron" helped too.
Thanks to everyone for the kind thoughts and good wishes.
