Napped the Weekend Away + Gave Notice

[nibblezz]

My period was especially sucky this month. Severe cramping, extreme mood swings, looking like a water balloon due to excess water retention, and extreme fatigue. 

Since I literally napped the entire two day weekend, it's safe to say I didn't get much (ok anything) done. And I'm still exhausted today!

Can't blame it all on my period. My contract work has become tedious and unnecessarily stressful.

I knew it was time to call it quits when I began struggling to complete super easy requests. It's not that I couldn't do it, it's just I DIDN'T WANT to do it, lol. 

The straw that broke my back? This weekend my boss emails me about, what amounts to rehauling an event design that was approved and decided upon months ago. Not to mention all marketing collateral already was sent out and viewed in the public sphere, lol.

*SIGH*

I can't do it anymore, I'm just...exhausted.

Today I gave notice. It felt good. I wanted to do the standard two weeks, but they have an event coming up in October that would have screwed them without a designer, so my last day is October 31.

Oh, I just remembered, as you can imagine, once the site was deemed too graphic heavy after launch, a lot of pages were redesigned to make it load faster and eventually the images were farmed out to an Akami server (I feel really old now). The website had the sorts of things that designers loved at the time like pop up windows and tons of rollovers, which necessitated a custom preload script. No concerns for accessibility either, naturally. Instead of having to fight to get it working on mobile, we also had to fight to get it working on Netscape 4.5. Suffice to say, no one had any idea what we were doing half the time, LOL! Old Job wouldn't be able to get away with that today.

Good lord that sounded like a nightmare.

Netscape 4.5, lol. Those were the days :D
