On Our Own Motion
I feel disconnected at work. My personal issues overwhelm me and my personal interests distract me. I do not feel as invested in my job as I have in the past. I am not phoning it in, but I am not giving 110% as they say.
But the hits just keep on coming.
I got a notice yesterday that an appeal of mine has been bumped from the state Court of Appeals to the state Supreme Court. This is a big deal. My coworkers are envious. My director is emailing me. My supervisor is delighted with me.
I'm pretty much freaking out and hoping that I don't stomp my foot during oral argument and call the case worker an idiot (or worse).

You're no doubt giving more than most, but that may not exactly provide solace. Congratulations on the court gig, and I'm sure case workers have been called worse. Just don't go 110% trying to beat it, and you should be ok.
Practice makes perfect? As in practice not stamping your foot? Good luck to you!
Congrats (I think... otherwise... convert to condolences?) Here's to getting in the zone when challenged... long may it reign.
state supreme court sounds like a huge accomplishment. well played.
you summed up exactly what i tried to say about my job, that you're there and you're doing more than you need to be doing but recognize that you're not doing everything you could be doing. except you said it much better than i could. well played again.
For not being invested, you're getting a lot accomplished!
