I definitely feel ho-hum but I am excited by the excitement of others. In isolation, I'm more excited when we see new products and usage. On that front, there were 5-10 release announcements yesterday and Lightning Labs published their first newsletter in months so that's exciting. People's energies seem to move with the exchange rate.

I mostly get anxious when things go well. I'm never more focused than when I'm in trouble (which might be why I was so frequently in trouble as a youngster) or when there's some large gap my energy has to arc across. When things go well, I feel like I have to focus on protecting which feels lame. When things go bad, I can focus on producing which is exciting to me. It might also be genetic as I'm a Val homozygote in the COMT gene which is generally taken to mean I have more normal dopamine levels when most people are stressed out (and I feel like shit when things are tranquil).
