I guess I'll just start off with this: I suck with advice. I certainly don't do well with giving it, but I do worse with taking it.
I've been hard on some well meaning folks over the last couple of days and I won't try to excuse it anymore as doing so serves no purpose.
I guess I've been asking the wrong questions. If I need to volunteer to get my foot in the door someplace, where should I go? I'd like to find a place that plays to my strengths. I guess I could go back to my county's natural resources office as I live less than a block away from it now and I still keep in touch with people there.
It might help drive the boredom away.
Sorry everyone,
Homer
