I feel a bit ashamed at staying away for so long. It seemed like the longer I stayed away, the harder it was to come back. We had a good if uneventful 4th followed by some good visits with family. One of the things that has kept me away was that our camera took a tumble and was broken. Devin and I are both klutzes, so it's probably amazing it's gone this long without an accident. The ridiculous part is that it fell from a height of three inches, when Devin was crouched in the driveway taking a picture. We were wanting to replace it anyway, but not exactly right now.
I had the opportunity to be considered for a really great job, that required, as part of the interview process to conceive and create a project. It was challenging and fun and I was really happy with the results. I was really invested and absorbed in the process beyond how hopeful I was for finally finding gainful employment. Now, it finally looks as though I didn't get it and I am just so disappointed. I have been looking for a job, any job, for so very long now. It's very frustrating.
I always had in the back of my mind that I always had the option of going back to school, which I would do in a second if money were no object. I decided to go ahead and do the financial aid forms. I guess if you have a degree and can't do anything with it, you are out of luck. There is no help for you. You had your chance.
I hate that this post seems so negative, but that is life sometimes. I'm trying to feel hopeful again, to find my balance, to have an eye for the future.

Hey Danielle.
keep your head up and keep trying. Even if you compromise and get a non-design/creative job, it will still support your creative lifestyle and personal projects. or am i telling you something you already know and have become frustrated about?
I've just found Coudal Partners! I think it was from a GOOD Mag blog post about the Swap Meat. I then realized that Coudal was behind another product that I've been a fan of for about two years, Jewelboxing.com. Some of the stuff that's exchanged in Swap Meat is pretty sweet.
I liked your blog when i saw it and you seemed like a cool, cheerful creative. Though, maybe not right now? Cameraless :( I know what you mean.
