Crap.

I've heard too many stories like this from good people over the last year.

I know its a major pain in the arse and a distruption to you life, but you've been here before and it wasn't the end of the world last time either.

A guy with your skills and talent will eventually find good, challenging and rewarding work.  Even if you had to coast for a while in some intermediate jobs to get from here to there.

Try the local Census office, they'll be gearing up for a big hiring push within the next week or two. Granted it is just a temporary job (a few months) but it is simple work for decent pay; I sit in an office and do data entry for almost $20/hr eight hours a day with no weekend work. Could help keep you in food and under a roof for a bit until you find a position in your line of work.

You can find work in Massachussets or Texas grading MCAS's and TCAS's (I call the first one the Massachusetts Comprehensive Abuse System).  You do it over the summer and it gives a roof over your head.  Try working for your local town, that's how my dad learned about goverment and survived his early years.

Keep trying Eagle, you'll find a new nest!  :aok
