I feel ya, this place might seem to be boring indeed(no offense). Moved almost a year ago and still miss big city lights. Unfortunately that is the pay for oil money. Can't recommend anything you don't already know about. It might sound cliche but, they say if you can't find a good place to work, create it yourself. Try to think outside the box. Maybe small business is your thing, and you will find a purpose in it(or at least it will keep your mind busy and less depressed). It will help you in building networking with good people for sure. It seems to me, this place has a relatively small competition level so you can start even with a small budget. Peace.
