I've started looking at job sites like Monster.com and Careerbuilder.com. I think I've overcome any mental barriers to finding a new job. Now I just need to wait out my "obligation" to $EMPLOYER.
I learned a lot going through this process (finding a job) again, so I think I know better what too look for in a job and in an employer. I've found several job postings already that look appealing.

Feeling Free
$EMPLOYER laid off several people yesterday. They say that it was a strategic realignment, but when I look at the list of people laid off, there isn't any apparent strategy.
Somehow this makes me feel more free. I now feel absolutely no loyalty to this company. When the day comes for me to move on, I will not feel any guilt or angst.
$EMPLOYER is shooting itself in the foot every day. I won't feel bad about walking away.

Goals
Having goals makes me feel better. I have set these goals for myself (among many others):
1. Finish my Masters Degree
2. Find a job that matches my culture and skills better than my current job.
I actually feel much better after setting these goals. The simple act of telling myself that I am going to do these things has lifted some weight off my shoulders.
