Seeking suggestions as to where to go next.

As of this evening, Crian and I are no longer together. I still have to complete the writing of my PhD project, but not having a local partner, I am free to go anywhere I wish, either before I finish, and cope with the extra difficulties that would entail, or after I finish, should I decide to focus on that first. However, I’ve had itchy feet for a while—I normally move roughly once every three years, and I’ve been in Tassie for four this time.

However, my scholarship having long ended, there is only so much of my share of the savings account left to play with. Possibly enough for one plane ticket somewhere, possibly enough left to ship my belongings somewhere. If I go some where before finding employment, that wouldn’t leave anything to speak of to cover living expenses at the other end. Therefore I ask: are any of my friends or family interested in a short term live-in housekeeper whilst I finish up my PhD? I can’t spare eight hours a day worth of cleaning to earn my keep, but I could manage at least one or two a day (and, honestly, couldn’t live some pace without doing at least that much!).

Once I know what offers (if any) this request nets, I can decide if I want to go that route, or try one of the other (many) options available before me. (Yes, I have thought of some, no, I'm not going to list them here.)

Feel free to pass on this note to anyone who cares about me who might be interested in such an arrangement but won’t see it here, or if you like, to someone I don’t yet know, but you truly care about, and can recommend as a person(s) worth spending some time staying with (though, in that case, please also send me a note as to who they are, and why you’d recommend them).

It has been a stressful couple of days, with a variety of very unrelated crises to deal with. I strongly suspect you are reacting to the sum effect of all of them. Please know that [livejournal.com profile] clovis_t and I remain very good friends, and always shall, but it is time to go our seperate ways. I will be in touch with you a bit later, when I've got time--right now there are some errands to run. What is your prefered IM?

You can find me at jen _ chara at yahoo dot com. I'll be running around some today but will check in as I can. It would be a goodness to read your words, if not hear your voice (that being my first choice but knowing how complicated and expensive that kind of call can be).

A long time ago you were there for me to talk to on Yahoo. I've not seen you on line since I moved to Milan. Any chance you might be there sometimes, I'd love to hear from you, and perhaps I could be helpful for you? I also use Skype if you wish to do voice conversations for free...
