I've got maybe three years left before I can retire. Three years of showing up, doing my job, and going home. That's all I have left to give. My enthusiasm died somewhere around year fifteen and I stopped trying to find it again. But here's the thing. I still do good work. I always have. I just don't do the games anymore. The office politics, the performative enthusiasm, the pretending that meaningless projects matter. I do my actual job, I do it well, and I leave. The rest of it, the game, that's for people who still care about climbing. I don't. I just want to get to the end with my sanity intact.
