So perhaps I should dial it back a bit at work. Why do I suddenly feel compelled to step up? Do I think it's going to matter? Where is this renewed sense of urgency from? I made the decision to go ahead and contact the resume lady and have her work on my resume, just in case.

Mr. Manners reminded me again that this is work and nothing personal; it's a good lesson and a timely reminder. I'm getting stressed out because I am letting this get under my skin. I wanted my boss to recognize what our team did this weekend because everyone really pitched in to do something new, novel, and outside our normal boundaries. I mean, face it, our former boss would have taken care of it all by himself, and it fell to us. No one cared, but we did it, and I was damn proud of us. Trust me, it could have been a really big deal. I will find some way to recognize the people on the other teams who did the work - I've already given my guys a comp day to make up for their Saturday (even though we don't have comp days, wink wink, nudge nudge, whaddyaknow?)

Frankly, I lost the desire to work hard when they announced the sale. And recently found myself reengaged, for no apparent reason. And enjoyed it. Why? Now I can no longer wallow in work ennui. Now I'm back to being aggravated. Hah. Perhaps I enjoy the aggravation of work....
