That's it. A lot of people still care about the job, and realistically, our future is tied to it. You nailed it. Take it one leg at a time. Do the best you can. Going the extra mile will be a personal decision to do, or not to.

I try the above, and occasionally go the extra mile, but those days are few and far between. You have to catch me in a really good mood. Most importantly, if things get even more screwed up after you try your best, let it go and move on. Don't let it get to you.

That seems to be the hard part of the job. Management does a really good job in selecting people who want to do a good job, we are hard wired for it--but you can't let it get to you. Hard lesson to learn.
