Hey everyone!
I am still here – I promise. I haven’t posted forever it seems and my Google Reader is overwhelming me.
Here’s what’s going on: Back in May, I had a job offer for a camp job. I turned it down because it was not offering me as much money as I thought I could make this summer. Additionally, my interpr*ting agency told me they would give me a certain number of hours weekly and that they could sustain be financially better than the camp job. Sadly, I believed them. Now I am not working as much as they promised (about 5 hours/week if I’m lucky) and have no money. I also feel worthless, unmotivated, tired, sickly, etc. I’m the type of person that needs to have daily goals. This summer, I thought I was going to be making a certain amount of money and therefore put it into savings. Now I find myself struggling to pay my groceries. I am depressed. Maybe it has to do with the weather too – I’m not sure. Either way, my dear readers, thanks for sticking by me. I’m sure I’ll get out of my rut soon. In the meantime, I may be renivating this blog. Changing the design around and finally understanding some of the WordPress stuff. (Anyone wanna help me?). Anyways, I hope you are well. I have been reading your blogs – just haven’t been commenting a whole lot. My goal is to get out of this rut – I just need to figure out my own way to do that.
xoxo,
Julie

I hear yah- stuff’s been depressing lately! I’ve had similar experiences in the computer-consulting arena.
This too shall pass, right?

I’m sorry you are going through this..A rut is a sucky place! Just try to get motivated, and I am sure something will come up! Things have to get better..They just have too!
I’m sorry! I hope things get better soon.
That’s no fun. I hate it when plans just don’t work out. It’s so hard when you’ve got your expectations all setup. I hope it works out.

I just found your blog, I forget where I clicked the link but please cheer up! Could you get a part time job somewhere else? I know things don’t always work out the way we want them to but looking back it may still be the right decision. hang in there!
It must be contagious coz I’ve been in a rut as well.
Sorry you’re feeling crappy. I hope you start feeling better soon!
It isn’t just you. You’re not in the ditch by yourself. Maybe we can make mud pies? I swear, everything I touch lately turns to dust. I’ve been insanely stressed out. Yesterday I thought I was going to explode. Glad you posted though! I missed you.
It will get better. *pinky swear*
If you’re just looking for a way to make some quick cash for the summer, the Bookstore I work at is hiring for cafe/booksellers. Send me an e-mail if you’re interested and I’ll point you in the right direction. (It wouldn’t be much — we’ve got hour cuts, too, and priority go to people who’ve been there for a while, but it’d be something.)
blah. I hate those kind of ruts. I sure hope you get out soon. Can’t wait to find out what you’re going to be chaning about the blog ; )
Totally understood.. I think I felt the same way when I first got laid off. Financially I was OK, but I was just not in the mood for blogging. (That and since my blog mainly focused around the idiots I used to work with, I was a bit out of material since I was no longer sitting around the said idiots).
Best wishes to you! I hope everything turns out alright. Could you consider getting a second part-time job to supplement income?

Oh girl, I’m sorry. Ruts are no fun. Keep your chin up, I know something better is just around the bend. xoxo

Hey, love – hang in there! Think of it this way – this is probably the last summer of your life when you can actually have a “summer.” Relax, take it easy, try to enjoy it. In four years, when you’re slammed with work one June, you’ll think, “Ugh, why didn’t I take advantage of that amazing, nothing-to-do summer when I had the chance?!”
I know it’s a stretch, but it’s a little bit of a bright side. XOXO.
Julie, I am so sorry that you’re going through a rough patch right now. I promise it will get better and you just have to hang in there. I hope you can use some of the time to yourself and enjoy it.
I’ll send some happy and positive thoughts your way. XOXO
Hang in there. I know people always say this, but things will get better. You have worked so hard for your degree and you will find a job that will be uplifting- one that you are passionate about and one that helps you pay the bills.
If if makes you feel any better, I feel the exact same way! :/ Cheer up. 
Awww, I hope you feel better soon. Stay positive, things will look up. Could you pick up a second job? Maybe a job in retail at a really fabulous place where you can get a really fabulous discount? In the summers I always waited tabled and made some pretty nice cash… I know it’s not always the most desirable option but it’s easy, fun and financially rewarding!
I hope things get better for you!!! Love the new layout!!
hang in there!!!! Something will come up! You’res such a positive and amazing person- good things come to wonderful people like you! You’re in my thoughts and prayers!
