obligation and urgency

so, i did the unthinkable & gave my notice without another 'secure' job to turn to. what i find amazing is that pressure i was experiencing in my chest is almost gone! i waited until the end of the work day, so neither my boss nor i was affected by the outcome. i was even encouraged to wait until the week to give notice, but i couldn't wait. i've been assigned to doing lighting plans for a retail client that makes me feel like i've given up on life & surrendered to a life of sweatpants in public. it's not lighting that i'm opposed to, it's the project manager i'm teamed to work with on this ongoing project. i will be nice because he doesn't mean to make my life a frustrating mess, it's just how it goes.

there's a bit of a wrench in my plan though. after i gave notice, my boss proposed another option of possibly working part-time. oh man, now they've got me writing fee calculation worksheets & full project development proposals. i have a feeling i'm not going to get off as easy as i thought.
