Relationships vs. Work

This last half-year has been very interesting. I am currently on the "chopping block" for the school district. They have a large deficit and I may be a casualty to the tough economic times. The funny thing is, however, I wouldn't much mind to lose my job.

Of course, I want stability and I worry about finding another position, but I would very much like to skip town. The main reason is relationships. This isn't to say I don't have some friends and aquaintances, but it is not the same as I had in the cities. I can't simply hang out with friends on a weeknight and often my weekends are much the same. I spent this entire weekend alone except for a visit to the YMCA.

This leads me to the point that relationships are much more important than one's career. I love my job, don't get me wrong. It's challenging and worthwhile, but a piece is missing in my life.
I won't continue on this point ad nauseum.

The idea is... I want to lose my job as long as I can find something else in the cities or Sioux City or Indiana. That way I can be near friends or family. I don't want the program here to suffer, but, on a purely personal basis, I'm ready to move on.

(if I do stay here, obviously, I'll make the best of things)
