I may be repeating myself.
My apologies to those of you seeing this for the second or third time.

I got a job! I start next Tuesday! Technically I'll be a temp for the first month, then if that goes well, they'll hire me on full-time with benefits and everything. Which should be just in time for my Stanford-paid COBRA insurance to expire. I am sadly taking a pay cut, but it's really not THAT much lower than what I was at before. (Although honestly I didn't think you could get much lower than what Stanford was paying me.)

That was a long three months. This is such a relief.
